Kai Cenat [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kai-cenat/] is a rising talent in the world of streaming. As a result, he frequently collaborates with other streamers or content creators. He unveiled his collaboration with Sidemen [https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-ommggg-yessss-finally-kai-cenat-fans-go-crazy-as-the-twitch-star-reveals-a-massive-collaboration/] in a Twitter post a few weeks ago. This news undoubtedly sent a wave of excitement across the fans. After all, Sidemen is the most well-known YouTube group, consisting of seven exceptional UK-based content creators. After much anticipation, Kai Cenat and Sidemen’s collaboration video has arrived. It’s a “20 vs 1” video, which means the Twitch streamer has to date 20 girls. It is one of the most successful series by the UK-based YouTube group. Kai’s one is already performing well, with over 4.1 million views after just 12 hours. Although the video was fun to watch, it was revealed that Kai’s meeting with two girls did not go well. KAI CENAT GETS TWO GIRLS OFF THE SET FROM THE LATEST SIDEMEN COLLABORATION The 21-year-old Twitch streamer is known for his friendly and lively personality, which he displayed in the Sidemen’s “20 vs 1” video. However, this does not imply that Cenat is always nice to everyone, especially when they are disrespectful to him. During the Sidemen collaboration, Kai met 20 girls and had to choose who he would date, similar to how most dating apps work these days.

But the girl began to be disrespectful towards Kai, which he didn’t appreciate. As a consequence, he rejected her, which was followed by an argument about who rejected whom. But while the girl was leaving, she exclaimed [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lz4R4FHFr90], “You ain’t even cute anyway.” Kai was offended by this remark and asked the crew to “get her off set, now!” 20 WOMEN VS 1 SIDEMEN KAI CENAT asked 2 girls to leave [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20-WOMEN-VS-1-SIDEMEN-KAI-CENAT-asked-2-girls-to-leave.jpeg] Another girl came in after the “disrespectful” one left, but the Twitch streamer was also not pleased with the new girl’s attitude and questioned her about it. So she confessed that the previous girl was her friend. So, Kai requested her to leave the set. The girl then inquired as to why he had rejected her. “You worry about your friend when it’s supposed to be me,” he responded.

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! 

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1734116 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/gq_gq-10-essentials-kai-cenat.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

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?”

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2196237 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Sidemen-4.png" alt="" width="1620" height="1080" />

The journey of Sidemen is among the biggest success stories in the YouTube content space. While there can be various reasons attributed to the success of Sidemen as the big face of entertainment, the association of seven of the most celebrated individual YouTube creators has to be the most appealing factor for the channel. In fact, as an idea, a bunch of big time YouTubers coming together to offer a promising streak of content was primarily pulled off by The Sidemen on such a big scale. So, as we go further, let's look at how the decade-long journey has been for The Sidemen, one of the biggest brands on YouTube.Â 

Sidemen's features are entertaining not just because they give a sneak peek into fansâ€™ personal favorite creators but also provide an ecstatic display of chemistry and the profound dynamic between all the members. A friendly code that has worked for a lot of famous creators before and after Sidemen, MrBeast being one big example of the same. Despite the strong evolution of their individual careers, the bond has remained constantly enriching among the members of The Sidemen, keeping them as relevant as ever.Â 
<h2>Early LifeÂ </h2>
On the 19th of October 2013, a group of seven legends came together for a project that would be of historical significance on the YouTube platform. Initially, the project had no fan following or any notoriety, and the name represented nothing but a GTA online group created by a few small YouTubers. However, the potential for the group was unbounded.Â 

The group comprises seven members:Â 
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">Olajide Olayinka Williams â€œJJâ€ aka KSI</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">Harry Lewis â€œWroetoshawâ€ aka W2S</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">Simon Minter aka Miniminter</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">Vikram Singh Barn â€œVikâ€ aka Vikstar123</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">Tobi Brown aka TBJZL</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">Ethan Payne aka Behzinga</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">Joshua Bradley â€œJoshâ€ aka Zerkaa</li>
</ul>
But in the beginning of early 2013, the name Sidemen represented very little on the YouTube platform and each creator was doing their own thing with individual channels of substantial size. However, the creators had some common links with each other. For instance, KSI and Miniminter had both attended the same school and therefore had made plenty of videos together in the past while Zerkaa and TBJZL had also studied together, leading to a similar scenario. The other remaining creators of the group have met each other through YouTube and other scenarios.Â 
<h2>CareerÂ </h2>
The first big claim to fame started for the Sidemen when they began creating videos together while playing video games, GTA V to be more specific. Through an iconic upload titled â€˜GTA V Online Group Fun #1 (With Zerkaa, TBJZL, KSI, Behzinga)â€™, the big foundation of the group was laid. In fact, these group collaboration videos led up to the release of GTA crews in October 2013. Eventually, Behzinga created a GTA group called The Ultimate Sidemen, a point all members consider being the official beginning of the group.Â 

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-922840 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/gta_v_image.jpg" alt="" width="1858" height="1045" />

The word Sideman refers to copying everything a friend does, but at the time of the establishment, KSI was the biggest Youtuber among all the members having 4 million subscribers which kicked off a joke calling all other members his â€˜Sidemenâ€™. Later on, as they rose to popularity, the members moved into a house together. However, the group didn't have a channel until KSI was inspired by the idea of an official single YouTube channel. After six months of planning, the Sidemen official YouTube Channel went live on May 16, 2016. It became the fastest YouTube channel to reach one million subscribers.Â 

Within six months of the channel launch, the Sidemen launched a book they promoted through a tour, and also started a football club under the label of Sidemen FC.Â 
<h2>Net WorthÂ </h2>
Sidemen has 3 main sources of income:Â 
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">Merchandise Sales</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">Sponsorship Deals</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">YouTube AdSense</li>
</ul>
As of November 2023, an estimate of their net worth was reported to the tune of $56.3 million, with the group dipping into ventures like clothing, books, fast food, and vodka. It is important to note that the clothing merchandise has been running since December 2014, before the official YouTube debut of the channel.Â 

KSI has a reported net worth of $29 million, while Miniminter's net worth is estimated to be $35 million.
<h3>AchievementsÂ </h3>
The Sidemen have achieved significant success and milestones in their careers, both individually and collectively.Â 
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">Diverse Content Creation: The group has produced many kinds of items, such as gameplay, dares, blogs, and joint ventures. The flexibility associated with this has made them very popular.</li>

<h2>Bans and ControversiesÂ </h2>
While the Sidemen have generally maintained a positive and entertaining presence on YouTube, they have faced a few controversies and bans over the years. One notable incident involved KSI (JJ Olatunji), a founding member of the Sidemen, who was temporarily banned from uploading on YouTube in 2012 due to violating the platform's terms of service. This ban was related to some of KSI's content, which was deemed inappropriate at the time.

In a more recent controversy, KSI was subjected to some internet scrutiny after allegedly using some racial slurs in a Sidemen video. The YouTuber made a public apology following the callouts and cleared the air in April 2023. â€œThereâ€™s no excuse, no matter the circumstances, I shouldnâ€™t have said it and Iâ€™m sorry,â€Â he wrote in a tweet.Â

Sidemen

The journey of Sidemen is among the biggest success stories in the YouTube content space. While there can be various reasons attributed to the success of Sidemen as the big face of entertainment, the association of seven of the most celebrated individual YouTube creators has to be the most appealing factor for the channel. In fact, as an idea, a bunch of big time YouTubers coming together to offer a promising streak of content was primarily pulled off by The Sidemen on such a big scale. So, as we go further, let&#8217;s look at how the decade-long journey has been for The Sidemen, one of the biggest brands on YouTube.Â  Sidemen&#8217;s features are entertaining not just because they give a sneak peek into fansâ€™ personal favorite creators but also provide an ecstatic display of chemistry and the profound dynamic between all the members. A friendly code that has worked for a lot of famous creators before and after Sidemen, MrBeast being one big example of the same. Despite the strong evolution of their individual careers, the bond has remained constantly enriching among the members of The Sidemen, keeping them as relevant as ever.Â  Early LifeÂ  On the 19th of October 2013, a group of seven legends came together for a project that would be of historical significance on the YouTube platform. Initially, the project had no fan following or any notoriety, and the name represented nothing but a GTA online group created by a few small YouTubers. However, the potential for the group was unbounded.Â  The group comprises seven members:Â  Olajide Olayinka Williams â€œJJâ€ aka KSI Harry Lewis â€œWroetoshawâ€ aka W2S Simon Minter aka Miniminter Vikram Singh Barn â€œVikâ€ aka Vikstar123 Tobi Brown aka TBJZL Ethan Payne aka Behzinga Joshua Bradley â€œJoshâ€ aka Zerkaa But in the beginning of early 2013, the name Sidemen represented very little on the YouTube platform and each creator was doing their own thing with individual channels of substantial size. However, the creators had some common links with each other. For instance, KSI and Miniminter had both attended the same school and therefore had made plenty of videos together in the past while Zerkaa and TBJZL had also studied together, leading to a similar scenario. The other remaining creators of the group have met each other through YouTube and other scenarios.Â  CareerÂ  The first big claim to fame started for the Sidemen when they began creating videos together while playing video games, GTA V to be more specific. Through an iconic upload titled â€˜GTA V Online Group Fun #1 (With Zerkaa, TBJZL, KSI, Behzinga)â€™, the big foundation of the group was laid. In fact, these group collaboration videos led up to the release of GTA crews in October 2013. Eventually, Behzinga created a GTA group called The Ultimate Sidemen, a point all members consider being the official beginning of the group.Â  The word Sideman refers to copying everything a friend does, but at the time of the establishment, KSI was the biggest Youtuber among all the members having 4 million subscribers which kicked off a joke calling all other members his â€˜Sidemenâ€™. Later on, as they rose to popularity, the members moved into a house together. However, the group didn&#8217;t have a channel until KSI was inspired by the idea of an official single YouTube channel. After six months of planning, the Sidemen official YouTube Channel went live on May 16, 2016. It became the fastest YouTube channel to reach one million subscribers.Â  Within six months of the channel launch, the Sidemen launched a book they promoted through a tour, and also started a football club under the label of Sidemen FC.Â  Net WorthÂ  Sidemen has 3 main sources of income:Â  Merchandise Sales Sponsorship Deals YouTube AdSense As of November 2023, an estimate of their net worth was reported to the tune of $56.3 million, with the group dipping into ventures like clothing, books, fast food, and vodka. It is important to note that the clothing merchandise has been running since December 2014, before the official YouTube debut of the channel.Â  KSI has a reported net worth of $29 million, while Miniminter&#8217;s net worth is estimated to be $35 million. AchievementsÂ  The Sidemen have achieved significant success and milestones in their careers, both individually and collectively.Â  Diverse Content Creation: The group has produced many kinds of items, such as gameplay, dares, blogs, and joint ventures. The flexibility associated with this has made them very popular. Charity Football Matches: Sidemen has been conducting charity football matches with other YouTubers and celebrities at different times. They have contributed to charities a substantial amount in these events. Sidemen Clothing Line: They started off with an apparel collection called Sidemen Clothing that has earned widespread fame.

Podcast Success: Some members of the Sidemen have also tried their hands at podcasting where â€œWhatâ€™s Goodâ€ is a popular show between Miniminter and Randolph. Involvement in the Gaming Community: Moreover, many Sidemen are known personalities in the gaming world â€“ they are engaging in eSports activity and have contacts with other gamers. Book Releases: Some of its individual members have published books based on their stories and views. Impact on YouTube Culture: Sideman has impacted on the generation of YouTubeâ€™s culture and they influence trends and have led to the generation of the standard of collaborative content.
