Comedian-turned-streamer Carter Efe has unleashed a fiery rant after fellow content creator Shank Comics reportedly gave him the cold shoulder during an in-person encounter at Yhemolee’s store in Lagos. The dramatic moment, captured on Carter’s livestream marks the latest escalation in their months-long tension.
In a clip from the livestream, Carter, visibly frustrated, turns to Blaqbonez and vents:
“I go b*rst Shank ACL! Shank loose guard me for Yhemolee store just because I asked make we gather chill. God go punish you!”
The beef traces back to earlier tensions when Carter claimed he reached out for a collaboration while Shank was in the US, but was turned down because their “brands weren’t compatible.” Shank later won the 2026 Best Streamer Award at the Sigma Awards in South Africa, beating names like Carter and Peller, which some believe intensified the rivalry. Carter has been vocal about feeling disrespected, while Shank has maintained a more reserved stance, focusing on his consistent, high-quality streams.
The in-person snub appears to have been the breaking point. Carter had approached Shank at the store in an attempt to settle their differences and “gather chill,” but was ignored, prompting the explosive outburst on live stream. The clip shows Carter storming off while continuing his tirade, with his team trying to calm him.
Reactions have been swift and polarised. Some users sympathise with Carter, calling Shank arrogant for the cold response, while others defend Shank, arguing that repeated online insults from Carter make any friendly gesture unrealistic.
Both Carter and Shank have large, loyal followings — Carter known for his energetic, sometimes chaotic streams, and Shank celebrated for his polished, award-winning consistency.
