Nigerian music star Davido has shared an emotional reflection on friendship after watching the growing bond between entertainers Kolu and Carter Efe, saying it strongly reminds him of his long-standing relationship with his close associate, Israel DMW.
The award-winning singer opened up about this heartfelt comparison during a recent livestream session on Twitch, where he joined Carter Efe and other content creators in a relaxed but emotionally charged conversation.

Speaking candidly during the livestream, Davido praised the friendship between Carter Efe and Kolu, describing it as pure, genuine, and refreshing to watch.
According to the singer, the way the duo supports and uplifts each other mirrors the same energy he shares with Israel, a friendship that has endured public scrutiny, jokes, and misunderstandings over the years.
Davido noted that while many people often laugh at or misinterpret his closeness with Israel, they do not truly understand the depth, loyalty, and emotional strength behind the relationship.

Opening up further, Davido revealed that Israel is one of the very few people he can completely trust and confide in during his lowest moments.
He explained that beyond the laughter, memes, and public perception, Israel represents a safe space for him — someone he can cry to, lean on emotionally, and rely on without fear of judgement.
The singer emphasized that such friendships are rare, especially in the entertainment industry where relationships are often transactional and short-lived.
Davido also commended Carter Efe and Kolu for unknowingly spreading joy and positivity through their bond, stating that their friendship has become a source of comfort and happiness for many fans dealing with personal struggles.
According to him, authentic relationships like theirs serve as a reminder that real human connection still exists beyond fame, money, and social media validation.
He said …
“I’ve been seeing the journey between you and Kolu and it’s beautiful to just see the relationship between you guys. It’s just as how people dey always laugh me and Israel, but at the end of the day that’s one of my best friends, that’s somebody I can cry to and it’s just life. You guys don’t know the amount of joy you’re putting into people’s lives, people that are going through stuffs…”
