Nigerian content creators Carter Efe and Peller have missed out on an international award after Indian streamer Ashswag emerged victorious at the 2026 Streamer Awards.

The Nigerian entertainers were nominated for the Best International Streamer Award alongside other content creators from different parts of the world.

However, their hopes of taking home the prize were dashed as Ashswag was announced as the winner at the ceremony.

The outcome means Carter Efe and Peller will have to wait for another opportunity to secure the international recognition.

Carter Efe, Peller lose out to Indian streamer

Carter Efe and Peller earned their nominations after the organisers unveiled the shortlist in October, putting the Nigerian streamers in contention for the prestigious category.

Their nominations had placed them among the international creators competing for the award.

However, Ashswag eventually came out on top, beating the Nigerian duo and other nominees to claim the prize.

Following his victory, the Indian streamer expressed excitement and thanked the audience for the recognition.

He said:

“Thank you so much, I feel absolutely incredible. It is nice to meet you guys. Thank you so much.”

A moment from his acceptance speech also caught attention when the presenter complimented his English.

Responding to the remark, Ashswag said:

“Thank you so much. English is actually an actual language of India.”

Although Carter Efe and Peller did not win, their nominations placed Nigerian streaming personalities among the creators recognised in the international category.
