Twitch star Kai Cenat has responded to those who recently accused him of "mocking" Jamaica. During a livestream on April 9, 2024, the content creator addressed the situation, stating that he got annoyed after seeing such posts on X. Claiming that he "never bites the bait," he commented on the "audacity" of netizens accusing him of disrespecting Jamaican culture.

Cenat said:

"Twitter just be trolling s**t and baiting s**t, right? Chat, I usually never bite the bait, chat. This is when s**t got weird. Bro... n****s had the audacity to say... that I was out there mocking Jamaica, bro. A n***a that's not from Jamaica goes and makes a tweet, and everybody under it was agreeing, were saying that what I was doing in Jamaica was not culture."

He then detailed his family background, adding that he was friends with Jamaicans in school:

"This is for people that don't know me - you're talking to a son of a mother who's from Trinidad and Tobago, the Caribbean. Okay? My pops is Haitian. Okay? I grew up eating straight roti, rice in peas, curry goat... I grew up eating all that. You feel me? Then, I had a group of six people in my school who were straight Jamaican. Why do you keep thinking I keep saying I'm from a Spanish town?"

The two-time Streamer of the Year award winner continued:

"I had friends growing up that were strictly from Spanish town - Kingston, Portmore, okay? I was rushing home after school with my Jamaican friends to go play dominoes (and) Ludi. I was playing Ludi every day after school!"
