Indian content creator Ashswag has emerged as the winner of the Best International Streamer Award at the 2026 Streamer Awards, defeating Nigerian internet personalities Carter Efe and Peller, who were also nominated for the honour.
The victory places Ashswag ahead of the two Nigerian entertainers, who had attracted attention following their inclusion on the shortlist announced by the organisers in October.
Carter Efe and Peller were among several international creators competing for the award, which recognises streamers who have built an audience through online content and live broadcasts.
However, neither Nigerian secured enough recognition to take home the prize, as Ashswag was announced as the eventual winner.
Reacting to the announcement, the Indian streamer expressed happiness and appreciation to the audience. He described the moment as an incredible experience and thanked those present for the recognition.
“Thank you so much, I feel absolutely incredible. It is nice to meet you guys. Thank you so much,” Ashswag said after receiving the award.
A light-hearted exchange followed when the presenter complimented Ashswag on his command of English. The streamer responded by pointing out that English is also an official language in India.
“Thank you so much. English is actually an actual language of India,” he said.
The result means Carter Efe and Peller will return without the international title despite their nominations.
Their presence on the shortlist had drawn attention from Nigerian social media users, particularly because both creators have established strong followings through livestreaming and online entertainment.
Their nominations also reflected the growing visibility of Nigerian digital entertainers beyond the country's borders. Both personalities have built audiences through their distinctive approaches to online content, live interactions and collaborations with other public figures.
Carter Efe is widely recognised for his comedy and music-related content, while Peller has gained popularity through livestreaming and his energetic interactions with guests and viewers.
Their international recognition has further highlighted the increasing influence of Nigerian creators in the global streaming space.
Although Ashswag took the award, the nominations gave the Nigerian entertainers an opportunity to compete alongside creators from other countries on an international platform.
The outcome has also generated conversations around the recognition received by Nigerian streamers, with attention shifting to the reactions of Carter Efe and Peller following their loss.
