Kai Cenat seems to be in a role with a legendary singer asking for a collab, and fans are excited for him. The past few weeks have been eventful for Twitch streamer Kai Cenat as he went through a truckload of emotions. From becoming the number one streamer on Twitch to getting banned right after it; it has been a wild ride. Moreover, he also dropped a song with fellow YouTuber IShowSpeed, inspired by Baha Men’s ‘Who Let the Dogs Out.’ And lastly, he won over 10 grand for his bet with Adin Ross as Gervonta Davis defeated Ryan Garcia. Well, there’s more to his list of achievements as the all-time AMA artist Post Malone has approached Kai for a possible link-up. WILL KAI CENAT ACCEPT POST MALONE’S INVITATION TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES? While Kai’s remains one of the biggest names in the eSports industry, Malone rules the music world. He holds multiple records, with a variety of hits that never left the charts. However, Malone does not find his solace only in songs, as he considers himself an avid gamer. A recent example of this remains his massive partnership with Apex Legends pro, ItzTimmy, for some ranked games. kai cenat [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Kai-Cenat-3.jpg] And now, it looks like he’s all set for another round of gaming as he’s texted Kai Cenat. Apparently, the singer wants to play video games with Twitch’s number one streamer and is all set for him. Kai revealed this information during his recent stream as he jumped around looking at the text. At first, he could not believe for Malone to actually text him, considering he’s one of the biggest superstars in the world, but then it turned out true. Not knowing how to control his emotions, Kai almost broke down on Twitch, going through a rollercoaster of emotions. However, he looked happy towards the end, accepting the offer. As of now, it is still unclear what the duo would feature but based on Kai’s taste in video games, it would be something around RPGs or plain FIFA.

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. 
<h2>Early Life and Family </h2>
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. 

<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" />

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. 

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.
<h2>Kai Cenat's Twitch Career</h2>
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. 

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.

<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" />

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.
<h2>How much does Kai Cenat earn? </h2>
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's hard to tell how realistic these estimates are because Cenat has never really addressed this in public.
<h2>Twitch Ban and Controversies</h2>
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.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2090836 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Kai-Cenat-3.png" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

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<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-how-long-is-the-ban-fans-left-in-shock-after-twitch-sensation-kai-cenat-got-reportedly-banned-for-consuming-too-much-weed/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> after consumption of 'too many' edibles.</a> 

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.

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 <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-kai-cenat-narrowly-escapes-twitch-ban-on-his-first-day-of-jail-stream/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">didn't happen to be the case and the streamer dodged a ban</a>!

But the controversy around Kai Cenat peaked when he was charged by the authorities for <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-i-have-to-go-to-court-kai-cenat-updates-audience-on-the-charges-and-aftermath-of-his-ps-five-giveaway-in-new-york/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allegedly inciting the New York riots</a>. 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. 
<h2>Viral Moments from 2023 </h2>
There have been plenty of viral moments from the big year of Kai Cenat, but here are some moments fans would always feel were the highlight of his run in 2023:

The subathon hosted by the streamer in February had most of the iconic Kai Cenat moments. During his subathon on Twitch, the creator featured some adorable speed-dating segments as well. One of the memorable moments from the speed-dating stream has to be when he met a banned streamer during a blind date. The conversation that followed was the peak of Kai Cenat's witty moment!

On the last day of his viral subathon, the streamer broke the existing record of the platform by surpassing 300,000 subscribers. The celebrations that happened following the achievement go down as the most overwhelming moments captured in his steaming career. 

Another iconic moment can be traced back to the xQc and Pokimane drama after xQc bagged a huge Kick contract. The Pokimane controversy took a completely fun turn when Kai Cenat had an interaction with the Twitch female superstar, which later evolved into a flirtatious conversation. Remember the line “What's your number?”
