Kweku Addo laughs off claims he buys Twitch views, points to Tudu market

Ghanaian Twitch streamer Kweku Addo has laughed off claims from fellow creators that he buys live viewers and stages his broadcasts like skits.

In a livestream clip circulated on Tuesday, November 10, the In-Real-Life (IRL) broadcaster—born Emmanuel Addo Boatey—mocked the viewbotting talk by joking that he buys his audience at Accra's Tudu market.

"Somebody say, 'Which market did you buy your followers?' Bro, e be Tudu! As I go buy my followers for Tudu, I go fit show you people," he told his Twitch chat.

"They say I dey buy Twitch views, they dey cast my secret, you people dey there dey laugh," he added, teasing the viewers watching live that he had paid for them.

He compared the accusation to the scepticism aimed at top American streamer Kai Cenat.

"Because they no fit do like Kai Cenat, he say Kai Cenat dey thief network. Right now, they say me I dey buy views," Kweku Addo said.

The row started after rival streamers accused him on their broadcast of faking his numbers, turning down collaborations and running scripted skits instead of genuine livestreams.

Kweku Addo challenged anyone in Ghana's creator scene—which spans Kwadwo Sheldon on YouTube, TikTok and Twitch—to name a single colleague he had snubbed.

"Has any streamer reached out to me and I declined their request? When me I come, there have been so many streamers in the streaming space, but none of them reached out to me then as me I never blew," he said.

Addressing the jab that his streams are skits, he asked his critics where their own broadcasts had reached, noting that clips about him were driving the biggest views on his detractors' pages.

Public data on TwitchTracker shows why his channel attracts attention: launched on June 28, 2025, Kweku Addo is a Twitch Partner with 64,553 followers, in the platform's top 0.16 per cent.

Rather than a flat, robotic viewer count, his numbers swing by guest—from 209 average and 299 peak viewers on Monday night to 1,647 peak viewers during his November 4 Tems stream.

His biggest spikes have come from celebrity link-ups that he previously said were unpaid, including 1,231 peak viewers when meeting Sarkodie and a record 11,726 concurrent viewers during his August 8 stream with Nigerian creator Geh Geh.
