In another milestone, Carter Efe also became the first African streamer to surpass 20,000 subscribers on Twitch, further cementing his place in the continent’s digital content history.
Davido’s appearance played a significant role in the stream’s success, with the singer engaging actively and connecting Efe with prominent personalities, including his wife and Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen, during the broadcast.
The event featured several entertaining moments, including an impromptu challenge from fellow content creator Enzo, who attempted to test Efe’s loyalty to Davido’s 30BG fan base.
The record-breaking stream has continued to generate widespread reactions across social media, with fans and fellow creators praising Carter Efe’s achievement and highlighting Davido’s influence in amplifying African creators on global platforms.
Carter Efe’s latest feat marks a significant moment for African representation on Twitch, as local creators continue to expand their reach on the global streaming stage.
