Nigerian content creator and musician, Oderhohwo Efe, popularly known as Carter Efe, has emerged as Africa’s most-followed streamer on Twitch following a viral livestream featuring Afrobeats star Davido.
Efe broke the record for the most-watched Twitch livestream in Africa after drawing over 83,000 concurrent viewers during the broadcast.
The milestone also made him the first African streamer to surpass 20,000 subscribers on the platform.
With the achievement, he overtook fellow Nigerian content creator, Adesokan Emmanuel, widely known as Shank Comics, to claim the top spot on the continent.
Metrics from Twitch show that Efe now has over 405,000 followers.
The surge followed a rapid increase in his audience size within days of the livestream announcement.
Efe, who had approximately 322,000 followers earlier in the week, gained an estimated 160,000 new followers in four days.
During the livestream, Davido connected Efe with several high-profile figures, including his wife and nightlife entrepreneur Cubana Chief Priest, and even made a call-out to Twitch CEO, Dan Clancy.
He also phoned Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen, whose appearance thrilled viewers and added a sporting edge to the broadcast.
The stream also burst into live when fellow content creator Enzo made a surprise appearance who funnily challenged Efe to an impromptu boxing match to “prove” his loyalty to Davido’s 30BG fan base.
