Carter Efe, a Nigerian content creator and musician, has become the most‑followed streamer on Twitch in Africa, overtaking fellow Nigerian creator Adesokan Emmanuel, known as Shank Comics. Efe now boasts over 405,000 followers, far surpassing Shank Comics’ roughly 233,000. This surge follows a highly successful livestream featuring Afrobeats star Davido.
The Wednesday livestream not only boosted Efe’s follower count but also set new records for Davido. It became the most‑watched Twitch stream in Africa, attracting about 83,000 viewers, and made Davido the first African streamer to exceed 20,000 subscribers on the platform. During the broadcast, Davido introduced Efe to several notable figures, including his wife and nightlife entrepreneur Cubana Chief Priest, and facilitated a call with Twitch CEO Dan Clancy. A surprise appearance by Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen added a sporting dimension, while fellow creator Enzo popped in to challenge Efe to a boxing match in support of Davido’s 30BG fan base. The moment quickly went viral on social media.
Efe’s rapid growth—gaining roughly 160,000 new followers in four days—underscores the impact of high‑profile collaborations on platform engagement. The livestream’s success highlights the expanding influence of African creators on global streaming platforms and paves the way for further collaborations and milestones in digital entertainment. With this new record, Efe and Davido have cemented their positions as leading figures in Africa’s burgeoning digital content scene, setting the stage for future endeavors that could further elevate the continent’s presence in the global streaming community.
