Nigerian content creators Peller and Carter Efe have missed out on the Best International Streamer award at the 2026 Streamer Awards after Indian livestreamer Ashswag emerged winner.
The ceremony took place in Los Angeles, United States, on Thursday, November 12. The Nigerian duo were among five nominees in the category, alongside Ashswag, Polish streamer Young Multi and Cuban creator Staryuuki.
Peller, whose real name is Habeeb Hamzat, and Carter Efe, born Oderhowo Carter, earned their nominations after building significant audiences through livestreaming and online entertainment.
Although they did not take home the award, their nominations placed Nigerian digital creators among international personalities recognised for their influence in the livestreaming space.
American streamer IShowSpeed had one of the biggest nights, retaining the Streamer of the Year title for the third consecutive year. He also won Best IRL Streamer and Best Streamed Series for his World Cup Tour.
Other winners included Kai Cenat, who received the League of Their Own award, and Jynxzi, who won Gamer of the Year.
For Nigeria’s growing streaming community, Peller and Carter Efe’s nominations remain a notable achievement, even though the final award went elsewhere. Their presence on the international shortlist also highlights how Nigerian internet personalities are increasingly competing for attention beyond the country’s borders.
