Adin Ross and Kai Cenat recently got on a call with Trainwreckstv. The duo streamed the call live, letting fans hear the conversation among them. While it was well for a long time, a certain piece of information baffled the streamers as well as the fans. Trainwreckstv broke the silence about Twitch and how it pays other streamers, which came as a shock to everyone. Twitch has been rigorous with its terms and conditions, and so popular streamers have called quits on the platform. Still, streamers like Adin Ross, Kai Cenat, Pokimane, and more decided to stay back, hoping for things to improve in the future. However, it looks like there are many internal factors playing a role in the streamer’s payouts, as Trainwreckstv revealed on the stream. The Apex Legends fanatic mentioned the names of a few streamers that Twitch paid more compared to others, baffling fans. So, does Twitch really pay them more, or these are simple speculations? TRAINWRECKSTV FIRES SHOTS AT TWITCH AND REVEALS SHADY SECRETS TO ADIN ROSS AND KAI CENAT It is no secret that Twitch has always kept fierce guidelines for their streamers. Be it the content genre or the profit sharing, the platform always stood one step up despite being the silent partner. I mean, the app only provides a platform, whereas the streamer puts in their heart and soul to grow daily. Still, Twitch takes away the majority of their revenue, leaving behind a handful to the streamer. DIVE DEEPER: “For What?” – Fans Unimpressed With Twitch for Banning Adin Ross After He Got Swatted on Live Stream [https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-for-what-fans-unimpressed-with-twitch-for-banning-adin-ross-after-he-got-swatted-on-live-stream/] For this, multiple content creators called quits on the platform, moving to YouTube, Mixer, etc. While the platform is always in trouble over this, it somehow finds a way out. But now, we have another finger pointing at it as Trainwreckstv spilled some secrets. During a casual stream [https://twitter.com/HUN2R/status/1591507613900238848?s=20&t=VZamheSKQR1zxc1GfYTa1A] with Adin and Kai, the streamer revealed that Twitch mainly looked after big-time celebs like Pokimane and Hasanabi. He said that the platform makes streamers feel important, but the truth is that they pay more to these elites. Surprisingly, he even mentioned a faded figure of $30 million that Kai couldn’t believe, as he kept shouting about it during the stream. Adin Ross [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Adin-Ross-Twitch.jpg] On the other hand, Adin didn’t look impressed, either. At first, he did not believe Trainwreckstv’s statements but later joined the party. All in all, it was chaos as the trio left fans baffled by these statements. So, do you think that Twitch does this? Or these are some baseless speculations? Well, for now, it’s a mystery.

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??
