Davido made it possible.
On December 17, 2025, Davido honored Carter Efe’s live Twitch session and turned it into the biggest streaming moment Africa has ever seen.
The moment Davido entered the stream, Efe completely lost it. He froze, dropped to the floor, and stayed there in shock. Carter Efe never expected Davido to show up for him like that.
The three-hour stream later peaked at 83,000 live viewers, setting a new African Twitch record. In one night, Carter Efe crossed 20,000 subscribers, instantly becoming the most-followed African streamer on the platform.
How Davido Changed the Entire Stream
Davido stayed on the stream, talked, laughed, and brought people into the space. Names that don’t usually show up on Twitch suddenly became part of the moment, his wife Chioma, Cubana Chief Priest, Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen, and even Twitch CEO Dan Clancy.
During the stream, Davido openly praised Carter Efe’s consistency and loyalty. This stood out because Carter Efe is known to be a big Wizkid fan. Despite that, he had publicly supported Davido in the past, even during online rivalries. Davido remembered it.
Deals and Recognition on Live Stream
One of the biggest moments of the night came when Davido helped Carter Efe secure a Martell brand ambassadorship deal live on stream.
Davido then went further, openly telling Twitch that Carter Efe deserved a $1 million deal, pointing to how he grew from nothing into Africa’s top streamer. At that point, Carter Efe had already overtaken Shank Comics, crossing 400,000 followers on Twitch.
Davido shared stories about how he started music, speaking casually, like someone talking to friends. That relaxed conversation kept people watching. Clips from the stream quickly spread, pulling 458,000 rebroadcast views on X, while the full video remains live on Twitch.
The comment sections said it all: “Davido don take over.”
This Is Who Davido Has Always Been
As the head of DMW and one of Africa’s biggest music exports, Davido has a reputation for showing up for people. Just weeks earlier, singer Teni asked online to use his Lamborghini for a music video. Davido agreed immediately.
That same energy showed up again on Carter Efe’s stream.
Conclusion
By the end of the night, Carter Efe had:
- Set a new African Twitch record with 83,000+ live viewers
- Become the first African streamer to hit 20,000+ subscribers
- Emerged as the most-followed African streamer on Twitch
This was possible because of Davido.
Meanwhile, Carter Efe made a song for Davido after the live stream.
