He began his journey by posting comedic skits on platforms like Instagram and YouTube, uploading his first video on YouTube in January 2018, which focused on pranks and challenges.

Thanks to his humor and relatability, his content quickly gained traction with a young audience. By 2020, Kai had already built a solid following, but his move to Twitch in February 2021 propelled him into the spotlight of mainstream online entertainment.

His high-energy streams, gaming, and real-time reactions on Twitch led to explosive growth. His unique approach, which involved direct audience interaction, collaborations with other streamers, and celebrity appearances from figures like Lil Baby and 21 Savage, helped him become one of the platform’s top creators.

In 2023, Kai set a new record by becoming the most-subscribed Twitch streamer of all time, with over 306,000 subscribers during a month-long subathon called “Mafiathon.” This milestone demonstrated not only his popularity but also his ability to keep viewers engaged for extended periods.

Kai’s impact was further recognized through multiple accolades, including “Streamer of the Year” awards at the 2022 and 2023 Streamy Awards and The Streamer Awards. His influence extends beyond gaming, as he played a significant role in popularizing slang like “rizz” and “gyat,” cementing his status as a cultural figure.

He has ventured into acting, appearing in music videos and even directing one for A Boogie wit da Hoodie. His content reaches audiences across platforms, including YouTube, where he has a main channel and a “Kai Cenat Live” channel for gaming and reactions, and TikTok, where his comedy skits continue to gain popularity.

Despite some controversies, including a 2023 Union Square giveaway incident that led to his arrest for inciting a riot, Kai’s career remained on track. Charges were later dropped after an apology and a monetary settlement.

In September 2024, Kai shocked fans by announcing he would quit streaming to pursue a professional basketball career, only to return to streaming in October 2024 after announcing his retirement from basketball, with plans to break new Twitch subscriber records.
