These days, social media is for more than catching up with friends and family or sharing funny memes. More and more, people are turning to social platforms as a legitimate means of making money. From gamers and beauty gurus to life coaches and even budding actors, social media has turned into big business. In particular, the medium has now reached a point where society has literally watched people grow up in front of the camera, or even migrate from one platform to another as new options emerged and overtook previous social options. It has become something of a real-life “The Truman Show” with content producers often sharing intimate parts of their lives. In particular, Kai Cenat is one such Black creator who has amassed quite the following across popular platforms like YouTube and Twitch. And after his recent controversy with a viral push in New York’s Union Square, he has become a household name beyond the Gen Z and Gen Alpha demographics. This leaves only one question — exactly...

If you’re tapped into the streaming world, you’ve most likely heard the name Kai Cenat. As AfroTech previously told you, in February, the 21-year-old was reportedly the first Black streamer to reach 200,000 subscribers on Twitch. Additionally, he was said to be only the third person to achieve the milestone.

Kai Cenat is clearing the air on his Twitch earnings during his subscription marathon.
