Nigerian streamer, Carter Efe has opened up about a long-running dispute with the mother of his daughter, Charis, while celebrating his recent rise to the top of Africa’s Twitch scene.
Naija News reports that the 28-year-old content creator, who recently became Africa’s most-followed Twitch streamer with over 500,000 followers after a collaboration with singer Davido, claimed he endured two years of personal and professional setbacks linked to issues with his former partner.
Efe in a series of posts on Instagram alleged that the woman identified as Emmanuella, frustrated his life and career, saying he trended almost daily over beating allegations that were pushed online without proof by activist Very Dark Man.
He said the controversy affected his mental health, disrupted his ability to create content, and left him financially unstable for a long period.
He also stated that he was denied access to his daughter for about three months, a situation he described as deeply painful but not strong enough to stop his grind.
According to him, the struggles pushed him to work harder with the goal of securing a better future for Charis.
Sharing photos from his early days, Efe recalled sleeping in a single room with his team while streaming to just a few viewers and hoping for a breakthrough.
He said they were later chased out of the room, an experience he described as one of the lowest points of his journey.
The streamer mocked what he described as his ex-partner’s renewed interest in his life, claiming she left for months and only resurfaced after his success as Africa’s biggest streamer.
He contrasted this with the period when he was hustling with little support.
Efe said his recent happiness and increased online activity came after he was finally able to move away from the situation.
He credited God for his progress and said he never stopped being intentional about his grind despite feeling abandoned by people close to him.
He added that he has been single for over a year and has noticed major positive changes in his life since then.
