Popular Nigerian comedian and digital creator Carter Efe has hit an unexpected roadblock after his Twitch account was temporarily suspended, just days after his headline-making livestream with Afrobeats icon Davido.
According to reports, the suspension was announced on Monday and came shortly after what many described as a breakthrough moment in Carter Efe’s career. The skitmaker had recently climbed to the top as Africa’s most-followed Twitch streamer, a milestone fueled by his viral live session with Davido.
The December 17, 2025 livestream generated massive buzz across social media and quickly became one of the most-watched Twitch broadcasts by an African creator. The momentum from the event pushed Carter Efe’s follower count past 405,000, placing him ahead of several well-known Nigerian streamers, including Shank Comics.
However, the celebration was abruptly cut short. Carter Efe disclosed to his followers that Twitch had placed a four-month suspension on his account, citing breaches of its Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. The platform did not specify the exact violations, a move that has left fans and industry watchers guessing about the cause.
Following the announcement, his social media pages were flooded with messages of encouragement. Many supporters described him as a source of joy and laughter, urging Twitch to reconsider the decision and review the suspension. Fans argued that his content is largely comedic and intended purely for entertainment.
Speculation online suggests that the suspension may be linked to mass reporting, possibly triggered by jokes, comments, or spontaneous moments during the high-profile Davido livestream. Still, claims that Carter Efe was banned across multiple platforms have been debunked, as his other social media accounts remain active.
The development has disappointed many fans, especially because it coincides with the festive season—a period widely seen as a prime time for increased visibility, engagement, and earnings for content creators.
