Serena Williams is enjoying her life post-retirement to the fullest! Just a few weeks ago she was seen spending time with her daughters, doing several fun activities, and even attending Taylor Swift’s concert. Now, she was spotted making a surprise appearance on Kai Cenat’s ‘MAFIATHON 2’ live stream. The collaboration, part of Cenat’s ongoing partnership with McDonald’s, which features a popular chicken Big Mac drew in numerous viewers as fans eagerly watched Serena Williams engaging in a conversation with him in the live stream. What was their conversation all about, though?

For those who are unaware, Kai Cenat is a 22-year-old American online streamer and YouTuber. He is one of the most popular streamers on Twitch boasting over 13 million followers on the broadcasting platform. In fact, he was named “Streamer of the Year” at the 2023 and 2024 Streamer Awards. He’s known for his connections to celebrities, having streamed with the likes of Kevin Hart, Ice Spice and even John Cena. Serena Williams seems to be the newest addition to his star-studded list! Like most streamers, Cenat is no stranger to subathons, where creators continuously stream for an extended period of time without stopping to gain more followers and subscribers.

Kai Cenat has been pulling in some notable guests lately, and fans were quite thrilled to see him bring in Serena Williams on the recent livestream. In the recent viral video clip featuring a few glimpses of their recent online meeting, Cenat expressed his joy saying, “Serena, what’s up? How you doing?” In reply, Williams said, “I’m fine. How are you?” After that, the renowned streamer apologized to the tennis star for a bit of delay and asked her about how’s everything going for her these days. Serena Williams claimed everything was good for her at the moment and then she asked Cenat if he was on a 24-hour shift right now.

In reply, Kai Cenat said, “Yes, I’m on day 11 and I have cam zones 24×7. They watch me eat, sleep, wake up, take shower!” Serena Williams was a bit stunned after hearing this and asked him, how many days he was going to do that. Then Cenat replied saying, “I’m doing 30. I’m finishing November 30th.” Is he shutting off for like a day after that? Well, the streamer replied that he might shut off and come right back. He couldn’t give that answer to Serena Williams at that moment. However, he said, “I’m definitely here for 30 days straight. So, I’m on day 11, now. I’m getting through it.”

Williams then said, “I really wish we could have done this in person but you know we’re on the far side of the country.” Kai Cenat lives in NYC, while Serena Williams’ residence is in Florida! Cenat then revealed that they’ve trying to meet each other in person for quite some time, but somehow this hasn’t worked out as of now.

Kai Cenat and Serena Williams share some common ground as well. Both are sponsored by Nike! Perhaps, who knows we might also see Kai Cenat and Serena Williams on the tennis court. Does Williams love gaming, though?

Serena Williams reflects on her love for gaming

Alexis Ohanian is often seen playing video games with their elder daughter, Olympia, but do you know, that video games were also a huge part of Serena Williams’ life while growing up? During a previous interview, she claimed, “I always liked gaming when I was younger because it was really popular. This generation grew up with (video games). The generation before didn’t have it, so (it was) just always part of my life, and I just kind of enjoyed that.“

She remembered playing classics like the Duck Hunt, Power Pad, and Metroid on the Nintendo Entertainment System that required cartridges. Later on she “ended up having all the Game Boys.” What was her favorite game, though? “Definitely Just Dance 2021. And I really, really love Mario Tennis Aces. Those two are by far my favorite,” she revealed in an interview. Serena Williams also spoke about how she carried forward her extremely competitive nature from the tennis courts to Maria Tennis Aces. She never liked to lose in any of these games and she claims, Mario Tennis Aces was “dangerously competitive” at that time.

In 2021, during an interview with the People, she revealed her passion for gaming and also spoke about her plans to pass this passion down to her daughter, Olympia. “I travel everywhere, so I travel with it. Sometimes when I’m taking some alone time, I’ll just sit on my couch and, just like when Olympia is at school or something, I just relax and then I’ll pull out my Switch and just have fun,” Williams disclosed. She said that time that she has some plans for introducing the Switch or future Nintendo consoles to Olympia when she’s older.
