Nigerian content creator and streamer Carter Efe is facing a fresh wave of intense backlash and scrutiny after compelling new evidence alleging physical assault was shared on social media platforms. The evidence, which includes a video and private WhatsApp conversations, has reignited a serious controversy surrounding his past relationship with his baby mama, Emmanuella.
WhatsApp Chats and Video Evidence Surface
The latest development in the ongoing saga began when a friend of Emmanuella, using the social media handle Mss_Mona 1, leaked screenshots of alleged WhatsApp conversations. These chats detailed serious accusations of physical abuse and mistreatment.
In a detailed caption accompanying the posts, the friend claimed that Emmanuella (referred to as Elma) had suffered greatly at the hands of Carter Efe. The allegations include claims that Carter would beat her and chase her out of their home with their baby. A particularly grave accusation states that at three months postpartum, Carter allegedly threw both Emmanuella and the baby out of the house, forcing them to seek refuge with friends for two months.
The friend further alleged that Carter Efe neglected his parental duties, failing to call or check up on his child, and that any opportunity was used to inflict physical violence. "Elma has been suffering in the hands of cater efe," the friend wrote, alleging that reports were even made to human rights organizations without any action taken.
VeryDarkMan Fuels the Fire with Visual Proof
Adding significant fuel to the fire, popular online critic Martins Vincent Otse, known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), released a video as evidence. The video appears to show Emmanuella with a visibly swollen face, directly supporting the physical assault allegations.
This move by VDM has effectively reopened a scandal that first emerged in 2024, when he initially accused the streamer of domestic violence. By presenting this visual evidence, VDM has shifted the online discourse, with many now demanding accountability from Carter Efe.
Public Outrage and Divided Reactions
The emergence of this evidence has sparked widespread outrage across Nigerian social media. Users have expressed shock and condemnation, with many calling for legal action against the content creator.
However, the court of public opinion remains divided. Some social media commentators have questioned the timing and authenticity of the evidence. Others have criticized VeryDarkMan for his delayed release of the video, considering his previous friendship with Carter Efe.
This controversy unfolds against the backdrop of Carter Efe's recent announcement that he had been single for over a year, confirming the end of his relationship with Emmanuella. The new evidence presents a starkly different narrative to the one he has publicly shared, placing his reputation and career under severe threat.
