Popular Nigerian comedian and content creator Carter Efe has had his Twitch account temporarily suspended, just days after hosting a record-breaking livestream with Afrobeats superstar Davido.
The livestream, which took place on December 17, 2025, drew massive online attention and helped Carter Efe secure his place as Africa’s most-followed Twitch streamer, amassing over 405,000 followers. The event became one of the most-watched livestreams by a Nigerian content creator on the platform, further elevating his profile in the digital entertainment space.
In a statement on Monday, Carter Efe confirmed that Twitch had imposed a four-month suspension on his account, citing alleged violations of its Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. The platform, however, did not provide specific details regarding the nature of the infractions.
The suspension has left fans puzzled, particularly given the timing and Efe’s recent online achievements. The comedian’s Twitch channel had surpassed several prominent Nigerian content creators, including Shank Comics, and was gaining substantial momentum just before the ban.
Reacting to the news, fans quickly took to social media to express support for Carter Efe. Many described him as a “joy giver” whose livestreams bring happiness and engagement to thousands of followers. Others urged Twitch to reconsider its decision, arguing that the suspension seemed harsh, especially since it came during the festive season when his content was drawing record viewership.
Speculation has emerged online suggesting that the suspension may have been triggered by mass reporting from viewers or by controversial comments and antics during the livestream with Davido. However, reports claiming that Carter Efe had faced additional bans on other platforms were dismissed as inaccurate.
Efe himself acknowledged the suspension but reassured his fans that he remains committed to creating content and connecting with his audience. He also hinted at plans to continue engaging with followers through other social media platforms while the Twitch ban is in effect.
“This is just a temporary setback. I appreciate all the love and support from my fans. We will keep the energy alive and continue to make waves across digital platforms,” Carter Efe said in a social media post.
The incident highlights the growing influence of Nigerian content creators on global streaming platforms and the challenges that come with sudden viral success. While Twitch has policies to regulate content, the platform’s lack of transparency in such cases often sparks debate among fans and industry observers.
Digital entertainment analysts note that Carter Efe’s Twitch suspension may serve as a cautionary tale for other creators, emphasizing the importance of understanding platform rules and maintaining compliance, even amid viral moments.
Despite the temporary setback, the comedian’s record-breaking livestream with Davido remains a defining achievement, demonstrating the potential of Nigerian content creators to attract global attention. As fans await the resolution of the suspension, many continue to celebrate Carter Efe’s milestone as Africa’s leading Twitch entertainer.
The Twitch suspension underscores the complexities of digital fame, but with his strong fanbase and online influence, Carter Efe is expected to rebound and continue making a significant impact in the entertainment space.
