Kai Cenat becomes most subscribed English-speaking streamer on Twitch with 80,000 subs

On September 24, Kai Cenat became the most-subscribed English-speaking Twitch streamer, taking the crown from streaming juggernaut xQc. The achievement arrived a few weeks after he assumed second position on the charts.

His meteoric rise to fame has been nothing short of sensational. For context, he reached 60K subs in late August. In the next nine days, Kai leapt to the 70K figure, putting him second on the mantle.

For those unaware, subs provide users with special perks such as exclusive emotes and engagement opportunities in exchange for a small fee to their desired creators.
