Veteran Nollywood actor and entertainer Charles Okocha, widely known as Igwe 2Pac, has officially stepped into the fast-growing world of live streaming, marking a new chapter in his digital career.

The actor recently began hosting live streams on Twitch, a global platform best known for gaming, live chats, and real-time audience engagement. Through his streams, Okocha interacts directly with fans, moving beyond traditional film and social media skits into a more interactive and unfiltered form of content creation.

Charles Okocha’s move reflects a broader trend among Nigerian celebrities who are embracing streaming platforms to connect with audiences in real time. Unlike pre-recorded content, live streaming allows creators to engage viewers instantly, respond to comments, and build stronger digital communities.

Okocha joins a growing list of Nigerian entertainers exploring live streaming as an extension of their brand. With platforms like Twitch, YouTube Live, and Kick gaining traction across Africa, celebrities are increasingly leveraging these spaces for conversations, entertainment, and community building.

For Charles Okocha, whose personality and comic delivery have long resonated with audiences, streaming presents an opportunity to showcase a more spontaneous and interactive side of his entertainment style.

Twitch has temporarily suspended the account of Nigerian content creator Carter Efe, following a review of activity on his channel.

The development became public after Carter Efe shared an official email from Twitch on X (formerly Twitter), confirming that his account, “carterefe,” had been placed under a temporary global suspension.

According to the email, Twitch said the action was taken after reviewing content or activity associated with the account and determining that it did not fully comply with the platform’s Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.

“Based on a review of your activity or content, we have issued a global suspension on your account,” the email read.

A global suspension on Twitch temporarily restricts a user’s access to the platform. During this period, the affected account cannot stream, interact normally, or access Twitch services until the suspension is lifted. Twitch also noted that repeated violations could result in longer suspensions or a permanent ban.

Notably, Twitch did not disclose the specific content or action that led to the suspension, a standard practice in many moderation cases on the platform.

The suspension comes at a time when Carter Efe has been gaining increased visibility on Twitch, following a surge in followers from recent high-profile livestreams including that of Davido, hitting the record for highest streamer on the platform.

Nigerian content creator Carter Efe has made history on Twitch after hosting Afrobeats superstar Davido on a livestream that reportedly pulled in record-breaking numbers across Africa.

The livestream, which aired earlier this week, quickly went viral on social media after reports confirmed that it attracted over 70,000 to 80,000 concurrent live viewers, a figure widely described as the highest ever recorded for a Twitch stream by an African creator.

While Twitch has not released an official continental ranking, multiple entertainment and tech platforms have cited the stream as a new benchmark for African livestreaming.

Carter Efe, known for his comedic skits and music releases, has been steadily building a presence on Twitch in 2025. However, the appearance of Davido; one of Africa’s biggest music exports, pushed his channel to an entirely new level.

According to reports, the livestream:

• Peaked at 70,000–80,000+ concurrent viewers (reported estimates)
• Triggered a massive surge in followers, pushing Carter Efe’s Twitch account past 400,000 followers
• Became one of the most talked-about African digital events of the year

The stream featured free-flowing conversations, music discussions, jokes, and spontaneous moments that resonated strongly with fans across Nigeria and the diaspora.

Davido’s Influence and a Live Brand Moment

One of the most talked-about moments from the livestream was Davido’s real-time involvement in Carter Efe’s brand growth. During the session, Davido openly encouraged brand partnerships for the streamer, a move that highlighted how celebrity influence can translate instantly into digital value. He sent a direct message on the live stream to the CEO of Twitch urging him to increase the deal of the streamer and also called Martell for a possible ambassadorial deal for him.

While the exact numbers may vary across reports, one thing is clear:

Carter Efe’s Twitch livestream with Davido has changed the conversation around African livestreaming.

It shows that African creators can:

• Pull global-level numbers
• Attract mainstream celebrities
• Turn livestreams into career-defining moments

As Twitch adoption continues to grow across the continent, this moment may be remembered as the stream that reset the bar.
