In the world of Nigerian entertainment, few names carry the “Midas touch” quite like Davido. The Afrobeats superstar has once again proven why he is called the “OBO” (Omo Baba Olowo), not just for his wealth, but for his legendary generosity toward content creators and fans alike.
The latest beneficiary of Davido’s kindness is none other than comedian and virpal streamer Carter Efe. Just days after Davido made a historic appearance on Carter’s Twitch stream, news has broken that the singer gifted the content creator a staggering 20 million naira.
A Night of Records
The story began on December 17, 2024, when Davido joined Carter Efe for a live session on Twitch. The stream wasn’t just a casual chat; it was a cultural event. With over 83,000 concurrent viewers, Carter Efe shattered records to become the most-watched African streamer in Twitch history.
During the broadcast, the energy was electric. Carter Efe, known for his eccentric humor and “Machala” roots, was visibly starstruck and overwhelmed by Davido’s presence. Davido, true to form, was accessible, funny, and supportive, even hinting at big things to come for the streamer.
From Streams to Bank Alerts
While the record-breaking numbers were a victory in themselves, Davido decided to take his appreciation a step further. Reports and social media clips have confirmed that the “Unavailable” singer credited Carter Efe with 20 million naira as a token of support for his craft and the success of the stream.
This gesture has sent social media into a frenzy, with fans praising Davido for his “We Rise by Lifting Others” (WRBLO) philosophy.
Bittersweet Success?
Despite the financial windfall and the record-breaking fame, it hasn’t been all smooth sailing for Carter Efe. Shortly after the historic stream, his Twitch account—which had grown to over 405,000 followers—was hit with a four-month suspension for alleged violations of community guidelines.
However, with 20 million naira in the bank and the backing of one of the biggest artists in the world, Carter Efe seems unfazed. He has already pivoted to YouTube, where his loyal fanbase (and the “30BG” army) continues to support him.
The Bottom Line
Davido’s appearance on Carter Efe’s stream has officially bridged the gap between the music industry and the rising “streamer culture” in Nigeria. By gifting Carter 20 million naira, Davido isn’t just giving money; he is validating the hard work of digital creators who are putting Nigeria on the global map in new ways.
