Once again, Kai Cenat has broken a Twitch record.
As AFROTECH™ previously reported, Cenat is in the midst of “Mafiathon 2,” a 24/7 stream running throughout November 2024. So far, the Twitch stream has featured guests such as Lil Uzi Vert, Snoop Dogg, GloRilla, Quavo, and most recently, Serena Williams.
Cenat shared several goals for the stream, including allocating 20% of earnings toward the school he is building in Nigeria. He says the project was inspired by singer and streamer Ironmouse, who previously held the title of the most-subscribed creator on Twitch and also raised funds to support the Immune Deficiency Foundation.
“Shout out to Ironmouse, because she inspired me to make sure to give a lot of this bread that’s coming in to a good cause,” Cent explained.
To no one’s surprise, one of Cenat’s goals was to reclaim his title, which was previously taken by Ironmouse on Sept. 30, 2023, with more than 312,000 subscribers, Rolling Stone notes.
Eleven days into “Mafiathon 2,” Cenat now sits at the top of the Twitch throne, with more than 332,000 active subscribers, according to Game Rant. The previous world record was 326,252.
Speaking to the milestone on Twitch, Cenat said, “Whatever you think that you want to do you can literally can do it but chat, it is very important you got to keep God first.”
He later added, “You got to just keep going chat, no matter how tired you get whether you’re a teacher, whether you’re a doctor, whether you play basketball. No matter how tired you may get you got to just keep going. That’s how he greats that’s are the great.”
Moreover, Cenat’s milestone might not have come to fruition if he had transitioned to the streaming platform Kick, as he revealed he was offered the opportunity. He claims the company had a $60 million offer on the table, which was disclosed to him ahead of his first “Mafiathon.”
“I still feel like if I went, I wouldn’t be here right now,” he said in reflection.
