Speaking during a recent livestream, Kai Cenat revealed that he worked closely with Carter Efe throughout the visa application process and genuinely hoped the Nigerian entertainer would join the event in the United States. However, he confirmed that all attempts to facilitate the process ultimately failed, preventing Carter Efe from making the trip.
According to Kai Cenat, he remained actively involved in assisting Carter Efe until the final stages of the application.

Carter Efe also acknowledged Kai Cenat’s efforts during his own livestream, revealing that the American content creator went as far as providing him with an official invitation and support letter to strengthen his visa application during his embassy interview. Despite presenting the documents, the visa request was still unsuccessful. Expressing his frustration, Carter Efe said he was heartbroken after missing what many regarded as a career-defining opportunity.
The visa disappointment comes after Carter Efe had publicly expressed excitement about attending Streamer University, an event expected to bring together some of the world’s biggest digital creators. Missing the event means the Nigerian content creator lost a valuable opportunity to network with international streamers, creators, and industry leaders on a global stage.
Following the development, Afrobeats superstar Davido publicly encouraged Carter Efe not to lose hope. Davido reportedly reminded him that obtaining a US visa has become increasingly difficult under the current immigration environment and urged him to remain focused on his career, assuring him that greater opportunities would still come his way.
The incident has reignited conversations about the challenges many Nigerians face when applying for visas, even when they have official invitations and international sponsors. While supporters sympathised with Carter Efe over the missed opportunity, others noted that visa approvals remain entirely at the discretion of immigration authorities, regardless of an applicant’s popularity or endorsements.
Although the setback prevented him from attending this year’s event, many fans believe Carter Efe’s rapidly growing influence in the global streaming space means it is only a matter of time before another international opportunity presents itself. For now, Kai Cenat’s public confirmation of his efforts has further highlighted the close relationship between the two creators and the support Carter Efe continues to receive from some of the biggest names in the streaming industry.
