Nigerian content creator Carter Efe has achieved a major milestone on Twitch, emerging as Africa’s most-followed streamer after surpassing 406,000 followers to break the previous record held by Shank Comics.
The milestone followed a high-profile livestream collaboration with Afrobeats superstar Davido, which drew massive attention and triggered a surge in followers. The session peaked at 83,000 concurrent viewers, setting a new record as the most-watched Twitch livestream in Africa and marking a historic moment for African content creators on the platform.
Carter Efe also made history by becoming the first African streamer to record more than 20,000 subscribers on Twitch.
Davido’s appearance played a key role in the success of the stream. The music star introduced Carter Efe to several well-known personalities during the broadcast, including his wife and Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen.
The livestream was filled with excitement and memorable moments, including a surprise challenge from fellow content creator Enzo, who playfully tested Carter Efe’s loyalty to Davido’s 30BG fan base. Since the broadcast, the event has continued to trend online, with fans flooding social media to celebrate Carter Efe’s record-breaking feat and applaud Davido for his support.
