Kai Cenat banned from Twitch, some think it was because he passed out after doing edibles on stream

Twitch powerhouse Kai Cenat was recently banned from Twitch as fans scrambled to social media to find a reason for the suspension. The news was broken by the Streamerbans bot as many flocked to the comment section to figure out the reason.

Despite enjoying quite a successful year, Kai Cenat got mixed up in controversy a few weeks ago due to his involvement in a highly publicized assault case put forward by social media influencer Jovi Pena.

That said, the exact reason for the Twitch ban has not been revealed as of yet, but fans speculate that it might be due to a recent stream where he passed out after taking edibles.

As a result of his incredible subscriber growth on the platform, he became one of the most popular English-speaking streamers on Twitch back in September.

Currently, the 21-year-old has over 3.5 million followers on his Twitch, and at the time of writing, this message pops up when trying to access his channel on the platform:

This is his fourth ban, according to the Streamerbans website, and fans may rest easy that this one is also temporary, as proven by the pop-up on his channel.
