Trinidad-born rapper, singer-songwriter Nicki Minaj recently addressed the Twitch ban of popular streamer Kai Cenat during a QA session with her fans. Kai Cenat’s meteoric rise to fame on Amazon’s streaming platform Twitch is remarkable. Despite only starting his Twitch streaming career in 2021, the 21-year-old content creator has quickly become one of the biggest names in the industry. During the February Subathon, Kai Cenat broke multiple Twitch records, becoming the platform’s most-subscribed streamer ever.
However, on April 17, the Amazon streaming platform banned Kai Cenat. As of now, no specific reason for the decision has been given. Some fans speculated that the ban was due to Cenat crashing an SUV into his streaming setup, causing the video to be interrupted and viewers to see only audio and a black screen. Others said Twitch may not have been happy with the gift Cenat received from rival streaming platform Kick during his most recent stream.
Whatever the reason for the ban, it has caused a lot of controversy within the streaming community, with many fans and celebrities including Nicki Minaj expressing their support for Kai Cenat.
