Nigerian comedian and online sensation Carter Efe faces a major setback as his Twitch channel gets hit with a temporary ban, just days following his blockbuster live session alongside Afrobeats icon Davido.
The event, streamed live on December 17, 2025, exploded in popularity worldwide, catapulting Efe to the pinnacle of Africa’s Twitch scene. He amassed over 405,000 new followers, claiming the title of the continent’s leading streamer on the platform.
On Monday, Efe shared that Twitch had enforced a four-month restriction on his account, citing violations of their service rules and user conduct policies.
Details on the exact issues remain undisclosed by the company.
This development arrives hot on the heels of Efe surpassing prominent Nigerian creators like Shank Comics, and hosting one of the platform’s most-watched broadcasts thanks to the Davido partnership.
Supporters rallied across his online profiles, praising him as a source of endless entertainment and urging Twitch to reconsider the decision.
Speculation online points to potential coordinated complaints stemming from content or interactions during the stream as a possible trigger for the action.
Rumors of restrictions on his other social accounts were quickly proven false.
The timing, amid holiday celebrations, has sparked widespread frustration among fans, who remain optimistic for a swift turnaround.
