The revelation instantly caught the attention of fans and fellow creators, with many applauding what they describe as a groundbreaking moment for Nigerian influencers. If true, this deal would mark one of the highest payouts ever publicly disclosed by a Nigerian entertainer for digital streaming content.
Known for his viral skits and chart-topping track “Machala,” Carter Efe has successfully transitioned from comedy to music and now seemingly into full-time digital streaming—adding another impressive feather to his cap.
While some fans have celebrated the announcement, others have questioned its authenticity, asking for more details or verification. However, whether exaggerated or accurate, the statement shines a spotlight on the growing opportunities for African creatives in the global tech and entertainment space.
This alleged deal also reflects a broader trend: major tech platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok are increasingly investing in African content creators with unique voices and strong fan bases.
