Kai Cenat’s Early Viral Videos

Young Kai Cenat was born and brought up in the Big Apple, New York where he took to creating content at a very early age going as back as posting his first viral video on Facebook about Parent Teacher Meetings.

Kai then moved on to produce short form videos on Instagram for a while even before Instagram Reels was a thing and soon enough, he shifted to making content on YouTube where he really started to take hold and go in an upward direction.

His Ding Dong Ditch series was one of his most popular adventures where him and his friends would ring random doorbells and then record the reactions of the people who would then open the gates again and again until their frustration reached to the top and they got an outburst.

This mixture of explosive reactions from the common person along with the angle of it all being a prank on the person having an outburst made it the perfect combination for Kai Cenat’s channel to blow up and gain a massive following.

As of right now, Kai Cenat’s YouTube channel holds a subscriber count of a whopping 3.47 Million users while averaging 5.42 Million views this past month according to his SocialBlade profile.

The Start of Kai Cenat’s Streaming Career

It wasn’t only his content that got him to where he is today though, his involvement in numerous other chat shows and dating shows hosted by other YouTubers such as Adin Ross also played a huge role in the exponential growth of his channel and as soon as he joined Twitch in January of 2021, there was no looking back.

Ever since Kai made the move to Twitch, he has been visited by more and more people on his stream every single day and his community has continued to grow exponentially throughout the time he has been a part of the purple platform.

Drama and Milestones on Twitch

Cenat has also had his fair share of drama both around him and surrounding him as well. Apart from being on all the chat and dating shows, he also had a brief presence on the Discord call between Andrew Tate and xQc where the juicer had challenged Tate’s views on women.

He also hosted his first ever 24 hour stream where he decided to stream for 24 hours straight without sleeping and kept his energy running throughout the entire duration of the stream while also hitting the big milestone of having 100K concurrent viewers!

Not to mention Kai Cenat’s current living situation where he lives in the AMP house where he shares his residence with other content creators like ImDavisss, Fanum, Agent 00 and Duke Dennis. Their series Prank Wars is best known on YouTube for the insanity that ensues with fireworks and spray guns.

Back in July 2022, Cenat also discovered that he was the fastest growing channel on Twitch and ever since then he has continued to walk that path and is now on the number one spot after Ludwig leaving the throne empty for too long.

Current Twitch Situation

Kai Cenat is currently the #1 most subbed channel on Twitch right now with the number of subscribers increasing every single day that he comes online and streams a plethora of games such as GTAV, Fortnite, Valorant, Minecraft and the likes of other popular and trendy games.

Tons of streamers and celebrities also came forward to congratulate Kai on the achievement he has made. Names such as Drake, Roman Atwood, and even Ludwig himself have all expressed their happiness and support for Cenat with Ludwig even calling out Twitch to “pay the guy before you[Twitch] lose another record breaker“.
