The Streamer Awards 2023 wrapped up earlier today with the flagship title and Streamer of the Year announced at the end of the ceremony. In this category, prominent content creators such as Kai Cenat, Jeremy "Jerma985," Felix "xQc," and Hasan "HasanAbi" were nominated.

Moroccan-Canadian icon Imane "Pokimane" presented the award and revealed that Cenat bagged the prestigious accolade. Unfortunately, the 21-year-old personality was unable to attend the function.

Kai Cenat's friend and AMP-affiliated content creator, Agent 00 accepted the award on the former's behalf and addressed the community. He stated that Cenat has shown what it's like to be an entertainer in "every definition of the word":

"Hey! So obviously, coming off the straight off... the most entertaining subathon, I've got the opportunity to see in my life time. He wasn't able to make it. But, I think a lot of people have reasons to doubt him, coming on to Twitch. But over the last year, he has really demonstrated what it's like to be an entertainer, in every definition of the word. I think he has shown as what's possible."
