Nigerian comedian and streamer Carter Efe has announced he is single again after opening up about troubles with his baby’s mother. The 28-year-old shared details on his Instagram story in early January 2026. He said the relationship caused him stress for a long time. Many fans reacted with support, while others asked questions about the timing.
Carter Efe, whose real name is Oderhohwo Joseph Efe, posted about being single for over a year. He claimed his ex, Emmanuella, frustrated his life for two years. According to him, she blocked access to their daughter Charis for three months.
He also mentioned unverified accusations of beating that trended online. Activist Very Dark Man had raised those claims earlier. Efe said they lacked proof but affected him badly.
He shared how the situation hit hard. Efe lost weight from emotional and mental strain. Money problems came too. He posted an old video showing him sharing a single room with his team during early hustle days.
Now, things look different. A recent livestream with Davido helped him reach over 500,000 followers on Twitch. That made him Africa’s most-followed streamer on the platform.
The Davido appearance happened in December 2025. Views hit millions quickly. It broke records for African streams. Efe celebrated the milestone. But he mocked his ex for showing interest again now that success came.
Fans responded in different ways. Many praised his comeback. Comments called him strong for sharing openly. Some said it shows growth from hard days to top streamer. Others questioned details. Recent clips showed cozy moments, leading to timeline doubts. A few wondered about the child’s side.
Efe started as a skit maker. His song “Machala” with Berri Tiga went viral in 2022, though it brought legal fights over credits. He moved to streaming and built a loyal audience. Twitch growth came fast in 2025. The Davido session peaked high and drew global eyes to Nigerian creators.
Fatherhood adds another layer. Efe often shares moments with Charis online. Cute videos of her get lots of likes. The blocked access claim upset some supporters. They sent messages hoping for resolution for the girl’s sake.
No response has come from Emmanuella yet. Past posts from her showed family life. The split seems mutual in some ways, but Efe’s words paint frustration.
Online personalities face public breakups often. Details spread fast. Efe handled it directly on his platforms. He focused on moving forward and enjoying single life. For now, Efe keeps creating content. Streams continue, and fans tune in. The personal share adds to his relatable image. Life goes on after tough chapters.
