Twitch star Kai Cenat announces a 30-day-long subathon

Twitch sensation Kai Cenat is set to host a 30-day subathon stream starting on February 1, 2023. For those unfamiliar with the word, it usually refers to a non-stop streaming marathon that extends by a certain amount of time for every subscription received by the streamer.

Kai Cenat's subathon is set to take place after the New York-born streamer was temporarily banned on Twitch. Lasting for three days, it occurred after Kai was seen consuming edibles during a live stream.

While it is not something Twitch reprimands, the fact that Georgia, the streamer's current place of residence, prohibits the use of cannabis for recreational purposes was considered the prime reason behind the embargo.

Kai, however, is looking to shrug off the temporary blockade on his channel and return with a 30-day stream. Taking to his Twitter, the 21-year-old posted:

AMP Kai Cenat to host a subathon, fans react

Kai Cenat's year so far has been an eventful one, to say the least. To begin with, Kai was accused of not cooperating with Jovi Pena, a sexual assault victim. Responding to the controversy, however, the streamer assured her that he would help in every way possible.

Interestingly enough, during his first response video (now deleted), he revealed that he was willing to forgo plans to go ahead with a subathon in February. Nonetheless, he appears to be moving ahead with his initial idea of live streaming for the next 30 days.

His announcement video naturally garnered a lot of attention. Jake Lucky responded by mulling over the possibility of Kai's subathon breaking Ludwig's record of most subs.

For those unaware, Ludwig set a record for the highest number of concurrent subs when he peaked at 283,066 subscribers during his 2021 subathon.

Kai also used a Coming to America reference in his skit. It was pointed out by Full Squad Gaming, a podcast run by Bradley Martin and co. They wrote:

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.
