Davido Gifts Carter Efe ₦20 Million Following Twitch Ban
In a dramatic turn of events that has redefined the meaning of holiday spirit, global Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has officially fulfilled a staggering ₦20 million pledge to comedian and content creator Oderhohwo Efe. The news that Davido Gifts Carter Efe this life-changing sum broke on Wednesday, December 24, 2025, providing a massive emotional and financial cushion just 48 hours after the creator was slammed with a four-month suspension from the Twitch streaming platform.
The transaction, which was confirmed through viral screenshots of the bank alert and a series of high-energy reaction videos, marks a significant moment of solidarity between two of Nigeria’s most influential digital figures.
The backstory to this generosity traces back to the historic December 17 livestream, where Davido joined Carter Efe for a chaotic and record-breaking session that drew over 83,000 concurrent viewers. During the heat of the broadcast, which propelled Carter Efe to become the most-followed African streamer on Twitch, Davido made several bold promises to support the creator’s burgeoning career.
While many observers initially viewed the pledge as part of the high-octane banter typical of such celebrity collaborations, the actual arrival of the funds on Christmas Eve has silenced skeptics and reinforced Davido’s long-standing “We Rise by Lifting Others” philosophy.
The emotional fallout from the gift was immediate and characteristically loud. Carter Efe, who had been in a state of visible distress following the loss of his primary revenue stream on Twitch, was seen in several videos running through the streets and shouting in disbelief as he processed the ₦20 million credit.
For the comedian, who famously transitioned from skit-making to music with the hit “Machala,” this windfall represents more than just a financial gain; it serves as a validation of his impact on the streaming landscape despite the regulatory hurdles he currently faces. The timing of the gift is particularly poignant, as it effectively transforms a week defined by professional setbacks into a season of unprecedented personal triumph.

Beyond the immediate excitement, the gesture has sparked a broader conversation about the resilience of the Nigerian creative economy. While the four-month Twitch ban remains a significant hurdle for Carter Efe’s global ambitions, the support from an industry titan like Davido ensures that the “joy giver” remains a central figure in the entertainment narrative.
As fans across the continent celebrate this act of kindness, the focus now shifts to how Carter Efe will leverage this capital to build his presence on alternative platforms like YouTube and TikTok. This moment serves as a powerful reminder that in the world of African entertainment, the strength of the community often outweighs the rigid constraints of digital algorithms.
