"Twitch saw them green kicks": Twitter jokes about Kai Cenat getting banned from Twitch after Kick sent him a pair of sneakers

Kai Cenat started his Twitch career fairly recently in 2021 but through his dedicated subathons and regular streams, quickly rose to the very top. Named the Streamer of the Year 2022 by both the Streamer Awards and the YouTube Streamy Awards, the creator from New York has become a household name in streaming circles.

However, his rise to the top has not been devoid of controversy, with a recent one about covering up a friend's assault rocking the community. Despite other hardships and facing criticism from the community, Kai has amassed a huge following on Twitch. He currently has over 4.9 million followers, with last month's average concurrent viewers sitting at a healthy 45.8K according to Twitch Tracker.

Despite breaking Twitch's all-time subscriber record a few months ago, many fans have felt that the Amazon-owned company is not fair to him. Major contention among his supporters was how the company had yet to offer him a good contract, something Kai Cenat himself mentioned when he was sent a custom shoe from the purple platform.

Suffice it to say that fans took umbrage with Twitch sending him the shoe, which is in stark contrast to when he received a pair of very rare Nike Air Force 1 sneakers from Kick. After news of his recent ban spread online, many shared jokes about how Twitch had banned his channel because he had received better shoes from a different streaming platform. Here are a couple of people pointing it out on social media:
