Nigerian comedy sensation Carter Efe has faced an unexpected setback as his Twitch account was suspended mere days after his historic livestream collaboration with Afrobeats icon Davido.
The December 2025 broadcast not only shattered viewership records but also solidified Carter Efe’s position as the platform’s leading African creator.
On Monday, Efe revealed a four-month ban imposed by Twitch for alleged breaches of platform policies, though the streaming service has not disclosed specific violations.
This suspension follows Carter’s recent achievement of outpacing competitors like Shank Comics and hosting one of Twitch’s most-viewed African streams alongside Davido.
The announcement sparked an outpouring of support across social media, with fans hailing the comedian as an entertainment trailblazer and petitioning for reconsideration of the ban.
Though rumors suggest possible mass reporting during the viral stream may have triggered the action, claims of additional platform bans have been confirmed as unfounded.
With the suspension coinciding with holiday celebrations, the entertainment community has voiced strong disappointment, advocating for a prompt resolution to the matter.
