“Oh my f***ing gosh!” – Kai Cenat reaches 50,000 subscribers mark on Twitch; fans celebrate

Kai Cenat has been among the quickest rising streamers on Twitch. Although he only started streaming a couple of years ago, he has already accomplished a feat many prominent content creators have struggled to do - receiving more than 50,000 live subs on Twitch.

Social media reporter Jake Lucky took to Twitter to share a clip of the New York native celebrating reaching 50K subs, making him the 4th most subbed Twitch streamer, just behind xQc (73K), HasanAbi (61K), and NICKMERCS (61K).

Kai Cenat screams with joy at reaching figure

Before becoming a full-time streamer, Kai was known for his comedy skits and Instagram reels. The 21-year-old rose to prominence primarily through his vlogs and prank videos, such as his Ding Dong Ditch series, where he and his companions would prank individuals by ringing their doorbells and fleeing.

In addition to gaining 50K concurrent subscribers, Kai celebrated another feat earlier this year. On August 6, he tweeted that his 24-hour stream had over 100K (peaking at 132K) views.

Subscriptions (subs) allow viewers to gain access to exclusive emotes and additional benefits from the streamers of their choice. Subs are usually paid monthly, so they are always in a state of flux.

According to sullygnome.com, Kai is the seventh fastest-growing streamer on Twitch. For reference, he has accumulated over nine million watch hours over the past 30 days, a 359.2% rise from his previous 30.

Although the Twitch partner has 1.85 million followers, relatively less than those at the top (such as Ninja, Tfue, and Pokimane), his rise has been nothing short of meteoric.

The online star is expected to reach two million followers at the current growth rate.

Fans react to Kai Cenat reaching milestone

Kai Cenat has already garnered a strong fan base over the past few months. With over 300K new followers in the past 30 days, the streaming community has extended its admiration and praise to the young American. Here are some of the tweets congratulating Kai:

With around 9K subs only a few weeks ago, reaching over 50K subs is considered a near impossible task. But for Kai Cenat, it appears to be a reality. Presently, Kai spends most of his streams playing GTA role-play, Minecraft, Fall Guys, and Fortnite.

Although titles like FIFA 08 and GTA San Andreas acted as the catalyst for his love of video games, the exponential growth of the streaming community also propelled his interest in the genre. He also has a prior work experience of 2 years.

Shreyan considers factual and accurate content to be the most important as a creator and a reader. He ensures this by double checking every piece of information in his articles and sourcing it from streamers directly rather than depend on third parties. His works have caught the attention of the heavyweights, with the PR team of Sidemen (a YouTube group he’s been following since his teenage days) and Chess.com reaching out to him for sending exclusive press releases.

Shreyan would love to drop into the virtual world of FIFA/EA FC and explore it further but, he would recommend playing Red Dead Redemption 2 to gaming skeptics for its top-tier gameplay, story and characters. During his downtime, he enjoys balancing his interests in reading, watching films and sports, and of course, playing video games.
