His show with IShowSpeed [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ishowspeed/] is making waves all over the internet, but recently he got into a funny incident that mixed the streaming world with NBA. Kai Cenat, along with this chat, had a good chuckle over this incident. The NBA Superstar in question, Ja Morant, has also been making waves on the internet like Cenat, however not for good reasons. Morant made quite a name for himself earlier than one of the emerging point guards in the NBA.

He looked up Nikole on Instagram and was immediately mesmerized by Nikole’s beauty. Cenat’s affection for Nikole did not last too long when comments on his chat started amping up with comments saying “Ja’s Girl” on his chat. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Kai-Cenat-serious.jpg] At first, Cenat was not able to figure out whom his chat was talking about. But one comment from his chat instantly reminded him who Morant was. The comment read, “Ja Morant gonna shoot you” which made Cenat jump from his seat.

He started convincing Morant, stating, “Look bruh you cool. You know what I’m saying”. This whole incident turned out to be uproarious for fans of both Kai Cenat and Ja Morant. Some fans even started requesting Cenat to invite Morant on his stream one day over this funny incident. Morant himself has become quite a talked-about name in the streaming world. First, xQc had a hilarious reaction to memes about the Memphis Grizzlies star [https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-nba-news-watch-xqc-reacts-to-the-rampant-memes-directed-towards-memphis-grizzlies-star-ja-morant/].

<h2 style="text-align: center">Who is Ja Morant?</h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Ja Morant was selected 2nd overall by the Memphis Grizzlies in the 2019 NBA draft after an impressive sophomore season at Murray State. In just his second year, Morant led the Grizzlies to the playoffs and claimed the 2020-21 NBA Rookie of the Year award.</span>

[caption id="attachment_1417349" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-1417349" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/1396130886.jpeg" alt="Ja Morant" width="1920" height="1320" /> SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA - MAY 07: Ja Morant #12 of the Memphis Grizzlies looks on against the Golden State Warriors in the second half of Game Three of the Western Conference Semifinals of the NBA Playoffs at Chase Center on May 07, 2022 in San Francisco, California. (Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images)[/caption]

<span style="font-weight: 400">Now in his fourth NBA season at only 24 years old, Morant has already been named an All-Star twice and earned All-NBA Second Team honors in 2022. With impressive athleticism, superb court vision, and playmaking ability, Morant has transformed into a triple-double threat and has helped turn the Grizzlies into a dangerous playoff contender out of the West.</span>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Ja Morant's early life</b></h2>
Ja Morant was born on August 10, 1999, in Dalzell, South Carolina, where he spent most of his early life. The high-flying star picked up basketball from a very early stage and was a high school superstar playing for Crestwood High School in Sumter, South Carolina. He ended his high school career as the school's all-time leading scorer in 2017.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Ja Morant's family and personal life</b></h2>
Ja Morant's parents are Tee and Jamie Morant who were both basketball players. Morant has a younger sister, Teniya. His mother was a high school basketball star and played softball in college. On the other hand, Morant's father played alongside Allen Iverson in high school and then played college basketball for Claflin University. Even though Tee had an opportunity to play overseas basketball, he opted to stay home to take care of his wife when she was pregnant with Ja. He sacrificed his basketball career and became a barber to help his son become a basketball star.

</figcaption></figure>
Morant reportedly dated Kadre Dixon, who played basketball and volleyball for Fisk University. They were alleged to have started dating in 2017 and kept it private until Dixon posted a picture of the two on social media in 2018. The two welcomed their daughter Kaari Jaidyn Morant in 2019. Many believe Morant and Dixon broke up after they unfollowed each other on social media.

The Grizzlies star has a daughter named Kaari Jaidyn Morant, born in 2019.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Ja Morant's Net Worth 2024</b></h2>
Ja Morant is one of the most exciting young talents in the NBA. His fortune has been on the rise as his ascension in the league continues. According to various reports, Morant has an estimated net worth of $50 million. The <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/memphis-grizzlies/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Memphis Grizzlies</a> star earned around $12 million in NBA salaries this year. In his four years in the league, Morant has earned around $38 million in NBA salaries. Furthermore, the point guard also has endorsement deals with major brands like Nike, BodyArmor, Hulu, Beats by Dre, etc, which adds millions to his fortune.

<span style="font-weight: 400">Morant continues to benefit from the $39.6 million four-year extension he signed in 2021 with the Grizzlies. The contract is expected to rise to $231 million based on assorted milestones. </span><span style="font-weight: 400">He has also signed a lucrative deal with Nike, earning him an annual figure of $12 million. Morant turned heads at Powerade, who secured him on a multi-year contract, adding $10 million a year to his earnings.</span>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Ja Morant's career</b></h2>
Ja Morant was not heavily recruited despite his great performances for Crestwood High School. The only major NCAA Division I school to offer Ja a scholarship was the University of South Carolina. However, he opted to play for Murray State after an assistant coach saw him playing in a gym. Morant and his family thought Murray State wanted him more so they agreed to the scholarship in 2017. The young hooper slowly but steadily became one of the best college stars in the country playing for the program. In his freshman year, the school lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The team was eliminated in the second round the next year. Morant finished his college career as the only player ever to average at least 20 points and 10 assists per game in a single season. After the elimination, he declared for the NBA draft in 2019.

After a scintillating college career, Morant grabbed the attention of NBA teams. He was touted to be a lottery pick and the Grizzlies selected him as the second overall pick in the 2019 NBA draft. Interestingly, Morant's AAU teammate Zion Williamson went to the New Orleans Pelicans as the #1 pick.

Morant hit the ground running and became one of the most important players for the Memphis Grizzlies. He started all 67 games in his rookie season and averaged 17.8 points, 7.3 assists, and 3.9 rebounds per game. With the help of this, Ja clinched the Rookie of the Year award in 2020. Miami Heat's Kendrick Nunn finished second and Zion Williamson came in third.

Ja continued his ascension in the league in the following seasons and made his first-ever All-Star appearance in 2022, also winning the Most Improved Player of the Year award. He made the All-Star team this season as well.

<span style="font-weight: 400">In February 2023, Morant was named to his second NBA All-Star Game as a reserve guard for the Western Conference. Following this, i</span><span style="font-weight: 400">n March 2023, Morant was involved in an incident at a </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Colorado nightclub. This resulted in him getting suspended for eight games without pay. The suspension covered the six games that Morant had already missed as a result of his leave of absence from the Grizzlies. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Two months after the first suspension, Morant was suspended from all team activities by the Grizzlies for flashing a gun during another Instagram Live session. This resulted in him getting suspended for 25 games provided that he fulfilled a league-sponsored program that addressed his wrongdoings. Morant returned from suspension in December. </span>

In 2021, Morant took to social media and started the #Jas12DaysofKindess drive where he asked his fans to suggest charitable organizations that he would go on to support for the next 12 days. Morant, together with his partners, helped organizations such as Camp Conquest, George Mark Children's House, Opportunities Inc., First Responders Children's Foundation, etc during the drive.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Ja Morant's shoe deal</b></h2>
Ja Morant signed a multi-year deal with Nike before the 2019 NBA draft, which is reportedly worth $12.01 million. Given the star's high-flying and electrifying style, he is one of the most marketable young athletes in the league. Nike took a substantial step in its relationship with Morant at the end of last year. After rumors of Ja getting his line of signature shoes, the brand unveiled the "Day One" Nike JA 1 in December 2022. Then in April 2023, the JA 1s were released to the public.

In its most recent development, t<span style="font-weight: 400">he Memphis Grizzlies suspended the 23-year-old Morant when a new video showed the All-Star brandishing a gun, which left NBA commissioner Adam Silver <em>“shocked.”</em> Morant was subsequently suspended for a second time for the same reason – a video being posted of the MVP candidate holding a weapon – the second incident in two months. Following this, </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Morant’s signature shoe was no longer listed for sale on Nike’s website or the company app.</span>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Ja Morant's car collection</b></h2>

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1734120" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Feature-Image-47.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="900" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">The streaming culture has witnessed a phenomenal surge in recent years. And a fair share of credit goes to Kai Cenat, unarguably among the biggest streamers in the industry today. The Twitch superstar is also seen as the 'face of the generation' as far as streaming goes. And his growing social media numbers speak to his dominance in the market. Hailing from a humble background, the Twitch sensation today enjoys the majority of the spotlight. The creator?s rise to the rank of a 'streaming pioneer' is indeed an inspiring story.?</span>
<h2><strong>Early Life and Family?</strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Kai Carlo Cenat III aka Kai Cenat was born in New York City on December 16, 2001. He was raised alongside his twin sister Kaia and two brothers, Kaleel and Devonte. Both of his parents have their roots in the Caribbean. The streamer finished his schooling at Frederick Douglass Academy. He graduated from high school in 2019. For his college years, he attended Morrisville State College in 2019, where he pursued Business Administration. There was also a period after his parents split up when Kai spent some time living in a shelter in Georgia before returning to NYC.?</span>

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1741779 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/XIiG_cZNq1Q-HD.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">In middle school, when Kai was around 13 years of age, he made his first move to the ?golden dreams?. He started uploading short comedic sketches on Facebook before eventually branching out to Instagram. Apparently, the videos couldn't contain the personality of the creator, as fans were always asking for more. Thus, on January 13, 2018, Kai uploaded his first video to YouTube. Over the next few years, as the YouTuber kept growing bigger and bigger, Kai Cenat made the difficult decision of dropping out of college and committing to content creation full-time.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Around the same time, the creator also joined hands with the infamous YouTube collective AMP, which helped to his outgrowing popularity. With more and more people starting to recognize the creator, Kai Cenat decided to head to the next chapter of his career.</span>
<h2><strong>Kai Cenat's Twitch Career</strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The YouTuber transitioned into a streamer only in February 2021, starting with his Twitch debut. He mostly made gaming and reaction-based content. After transitioning, Kai saw astronomical growth within a year. Further, he was nominated for "Streamer of the Year" and "Breakout Streamer" categories at the 12th Streamy Awards.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">This year, his 30-day Subathon in February broke multiple records that put him on top. He broke Ninja's (269,154) and Ludwig's (283,066) Twitch records for the 'all-time high active subs'. Achieving this feat in March 2023, Cenat currently holds the podium with 306,621 subs. Moreover, this acted as an additional boost in his follower count as he recently crossed the five million mark. At the time of writing, he ranks 37 on the all-time list with 5.13 million followers.</span>

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1561748 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Kai-Cenat-Twitch.jpg" alt="" width="1917" height="999" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">Fans believe the ongoing year has been the big break year for Kai Cenat in the industry. Although the streamer had announced his influence in the last year itself when he bagged ?Streamer of the Year,? it was only a teaser to the upcoming domination.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The American streamer bagged ?Streamer of the Year? again in 2023.</span>
<h2><strong>How much does Kai Cenat earn??</strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The Twitch streamer has never publicly talked about his earnings from his social media platforms. However, from all the credible data available, a possible net worth and monthly income can be deduced.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">According to data from Twitch Tracker, Cenat appears to make approximately $160,885 per month from Twitch, while data from Social Blade estimates that he makes about $30,000 per month via YouTube. According to this, KaiCenat makes around $175,000 a month from Twitch and YouTube by itself, or almost $2.1 million annually.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Many websites claim that Kai Cenat is worth between $2 million and $3 million, but it's hard to tell how realistic these estimates are because Cenat has never really addressed this in public.</span>
<h2><strong>Twitch Ban and Controversies</strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">With the Twitch guidelines deemed to be too strict, even Kai Cenat has been a victim of bans multiple times. Although the severity of the punishment lasted only a day, in July 2021, Kai received his first ban on Twitch. The one-day ban was said to be put in because he unknowingly showed an explicit image on his stream while browsing through his sub-reddit.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The second one did not have to wait for long, as he received another one-day ban in August 2021. Surprisingly, the reason for this was the same as that of the first. The third ban, however, was a strong one, and it had also stirred controversy.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The longest ban of his career, the 30-day ban, came in March 2022. Kai had made some comments during one of his streams, which were translated by certain Twitch staff as threats. While the ban might have been necessary, the severity of the same caused tension, with speculations arriving that he could make his shift to the then-new and booming platform, Kick.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">January 2023 saw Kai Cenat receive his fourth ban.

<span style="font-weight: 400">Another ban on his career came in April 2023. The timing of the week-long ban, however, turned out to be the worst. He received the fifth ban right after winning the Streamer of the Year Award and completing the record-breaking 30-day Subathon. While the exact reason is unclear, it is rumored that some 'explicit activity' shown in the game during his GTA stream was the cause of it.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">During a recent Jail live stream in August, the streamer nearly escaped another ban when a fight broke out in the jail which might have triggered the Amazon-owned streaming platform guidelines.

Kai Cenat

The streaming culture has witnessed a phenomenal surge in recent years. And a fair share of credit goes to Kai Cenat, unarguably among the biggest streamers in the industry today. The Twitch superstar is also seen as the &#8216;face of the generation&#8217; as far as streaming goes. And his growing social media numbers speak to his dominance in the market. Hailing from a humble background, the Twitch sensation today enjoys the majority of the spotlight. The creator?s rise to the rank of a &#8216;streaming pioneer&#8217; is indeed an inspiring story.? Early Life and Family? Kai Carlo Cenat III aka Kai Cenat was born in New York City on December 16, 2001. He was raised alongside his twin sister Kaia and two brothers, Kaleel and Devonte. Both of his parents have their roots in the Caribbean. The streamer finished his schooling at Frederick Douglass Academy. He graduated from high school in 2019. For his college years, he attended Morrisville State College in 2019, where he pursued Business Administration. There was also a period after his parents split up when Kai spent some time living in a shelter in Georgia before returning to NYC.? In middle school, when Kai was around 13 years of age, he made his first move to the ?golden dreams?. He started uploading short comedic sketches on Facebook before eventually branching out to Instagram. Apparently, the videos couldn&#8217;t contain the personality of the creator, as fans were always asking for more. Thus, on January 13, 2018, Kai uploaded his first video to YouTube. Over the next few years, as the YouTuber kept growing bigger and bigger, Kai Cenat made the difficult decision of dropping out of college and committing to content creation full-time.? Around the same time, the creator also joined hands with the infamous YouTube collective AMP, which helped to his outgrowing popularity. With more and more people starting to recognize the creator, Kai Cenat decided to head to the next chapter of his career. Kai Cenat&#8217;s Twitch Career The YouTuber transitioned into a streamer only in February 2021, starting with his Twitch debut. He mostly made gaming and reaction-based content. After transitioning, Kai saw astronomical growth within a year. Further, he was nominated for &#8220;Streamer of the Year&#8221; and &#8220;Breakout Streamer&#8221; categories at the 12th Streamy Awards.? This year, his 30-day Subathon in February broke multiple records that put him on top. He broke Ninja&#8217;s (269,154) and Ludwig&#8217;s (283,066) Twitch records for the &#8216;all-time high active subs&#8217;. Achieving this feat in March 2023, Cenat currently holds the podium with 306,621 subs. Moreover, this acted as an additional boost in his follower count as he recently crossed the five million mark. At the time of writing, he ranks 37 on the all-time list with 5.13 million followers. Fans believe the ongoing year has been the big break year for Kai Cenat in the industry. Although the streamer had announced his influence in the last year itself when he bagged ?Streamer of the Year,? it was only a teaser to the upcoming domination.? The American streamer bagged ?Streamer of the Year? again in 2023. How much does Kai Cenat earn?? The Twitch streamer has never publicly talked about his earnings from his social media platforms. However, from all the credible data available, a possible net worth and monthly income can be deduced.? According to data from Twitch Tracker, Cenat appears to make approximately $160,885 per month from Twitch, while data from Social Blade estimates that he makes about $30,000 per month via YouTube. According to this, KaiCenat makes around $175,000 a month from Twitch and YouTube by itself, or almost $2.1 million annually. Many websites claim that Kai Cenat is worth between $2 million and $3 million, but it&#8217;s hard to tell how realistic these estimates are because Cenat has never really addressed this in public. Twitch Ban and Controversies With the Twitch guidelines deemed to be too strict, even Kai Cenat has been a victim of bans multiple times. Although the severity of the punishment lasted only a day, in July 2021, Kai received his first ban on Twitch. The one-day ban was said to be put in because he unknowingly showed an explicit image on his stream while browsing through his sub-reddit. The second one did not have to wait for long, as he received another one-day ban in August 2021. Surprisingly, the reason for this was the same as that of the first. The third ban, however, was a strong one, and it had also stirred controversy. The longest ban of his career, the 30-day ban, came in March 2022. Kai had made some comments during one of his streams, which were translated by certain Twitch staff as threats. While the ban might have been necessary, the severity of the same caused tension, with speculations arriving that he could make his shift to the then-new and booming platform, Kick. January 2023 saw Kai Cenat receive his fourth ban. It lasted for three days, and the reason was deduced to be his passing out on the stream?after consumption of &#8216;too many&#8217; edibles.? Another ban on his career came in April 2023. The timing of the week-long ban, however, turned out to be the worst. He received the fifth ban right after winning the Streamer of the Year Award and completing the record-breaking 30-day Subathon. While the exact reason is unclear, it is rumored that some &#8216;explicit activity&#8217; shown in the game during his GTA stream was the cause of it. During a recent Jail live stream in August, the streamer nearly escaped another ban when a fight broke out in the jail which might have triggered the Amazon-owned streaming platform guidelines. Fortunately, that didn&#8217;t happen to be the case and the streamer dodged a ban! But the controversy around Kai Cenat peaked when he was charged by the authorities for allegedly inciting the New York riots. In fact, the streamer was taken into custody for a while until the authorities tried to manage the chaos at Central Park. The streamer had thought of hosting a mega giveaway of PlayStation 5, PCs, and some other gaming essentials at Central Park. However, not even in his worst nightmare would he have thought the situation would have gotten that bad. Almost a crowd of 2,000 descended into chaos, leading to a lot of injuries and crowd mismanagement.? Viral Moments from 2023?
