StreamerBans is a Twitter account that primarily shares news about bans on streamers. They were the first to share about Kai Cenat’s ban. But the main question on everyone’s mind is why the 21-year-old Twitch sensation was banned.
Unfortunately, the official reason for this ban is still unknown. The Amazon-owned platform has yet to issue an official statement regarding the ban. Even Kai Cenat has not disclosed the reason for this ban. He just tweeted, “Banned Before Subathon I Haven’t Even Been Live.”
However, it is speculated that Cenat’s ban was prompted by his passing out on stream after consuming some edibles. Twitch has the authority to ban accounts for displaying content that violates its policies. They can also ban an account if a streamer leaves or passes out during a live stream. Even Esports journalist Jake Lucky has tweeted that it could be the possible reason.
How did fans react to Kai Cenat’s ban?
The only thing Kai Cenat fans are talking about is his ban on having edibles and then his passing out on the stream. Some fans even began debating how much edibles should be permitted for streamers to consume during livestreams. Meanwhile, some wonder when he will be unbanned.

How long is the ban

More than likely "passing out" or the act of passing out whether it be fake or real implies you are not looking out for your own wellness, similar to any streamer drinking too much and passing out (also, against TOS) generally across the board. (not hating just translating TOS)
