The milestone followed a viral livestream with Afrobeats superstar Davido, a moment that drew massive attention both on Twitch and across social media.

Entertainment December 23, 2025 by Yewande Fasan Comedian and streamer Carter Efe’s Twitch account has been temporarily suspended, just days after his record-breaking livestream with Afrobeats star Davido. The livestream, which took place on December 17, 2025, garnered massive online attention and saw Carter Efe become Africa’s most-followed Twitch streamer, amassing over 405,000 followers. The suspension, announced on Monday, cites violations of Twitch’s Terms of Service and Community Guidelines, though specific details of the breaches have not been disclosed. The suspension has sparked disappointment among fans, who took to social media to express solidarity with the comedian. Speculation has emerged online suggesting the suspension may be linked to mass reporting over comments or antics during the livestream. However, reports claiming Carter Efe faced additional bans on other platforms have been dismissed as false. Carter Efe’s suspension comes as a blow to his growing online presence, and fans are urging Twitch to reconsider its decision. The comedian’s supporters have described him as a “joy giver” and are calling for a swift resolution to the issue.

Twitch: RDCGaming Twitch streamer RDCGaming urged one fan to refund their own $5000 donation where they asked him to play a game that he’s already planning to play. There are plenty of ways to support your favorite Twitch streamer, be it through subscribing, donating Twitch Bits, or donating money directly to them. The latter has, at times, caused some monumental headaches, with viewers disputing their own donations in order to leave streamers out of pocket.  Of course, not every donation is sinister. Viewers want to interact with their favorite streamer, and will regularly donate to offer suggestions on games to play or videos to react to. That happened to RDCGaming on December. The Twitch streamer, who also has over 1 million subscribers on YouTube, received a $5000 donation from a fan who just wanted to see him play a specific game. However, he wasn’t having it. Twitch RDCGaming urges viewer to refund massive Twitch donation “Dispute that dono, dispute that dono bro. $5000 is crazy. I understand it’s Christmas time, but $5000 is crazy.

Amazon announced on December 18, 2025, the introduction of content exclusion categories for its demand-side platform, enabling advertisers to manage brand suitability settings across Twitch and third-party web and mobile inventory through a single setup. The feature extends Amazon's existing brand suitability framework by allowing advertisers to opt out of specific content topics that conflict with brand values. According to the announcement, content exclusion categories function as binary on-off switches. When advertisers select a content category, their advertisements will not appear alongside that content type across Amazon DSP's inventory sources. The implementation simplifies campaign management by eliminating the need to configure multiple controls across different supply sources. The launch also expands the brand suitability report to include content exclusion categories. Advertisers can verify advertisement placements across different inventory tiers and content exclusion categories, providing enhanced monitoring capabilities for brand suitability compliance. Amazon DSP self-service advertisers can access content exclusion categories through three methods: the Amazon DSP console under "Inherited settings" followed by "General" and the "Brand suitability" section, the public API, and the bulk tool spreadsheet. The feature rolled out across all markets where Amazon DSP operates, including North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific regions.
