Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed's Minecraft marathon stream has garnered quite a buzz, but not for the reasons they were hoping for. Things took an unexpected turn when a young boy, who goes by the name Takky, gifted Kai Cenat over £9,000 in subscriptions on Twitch. This generous gesture left the streamer in a state of shock and disbelief, as he feared that the young fan had stolen his mother's credit card.
Both Cenat and IShowSpeed are known for their ambitious streams on Twitch and YouTube, often taking on challenging video game tasks. And this time was no different as they set out to beat Minecraft on the most difficult setting without stopping until they completed it. However, this proved to be a daunting task, leading them to call in a therapist to ease the tension between the two.
During the marathon stream, Takky gifted a total of 2,350 subscriptions, which amounted to over £9,000. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Takky was, in fact, a child. Cenat had just hit the milestone of 13 million followers on Twitch when Takky donated 1,000 subscriptions to random viewers, bringing the total to 2,350. With each subscription costing £3.99, the total amount gifted was £9,375.
Fans in the chat were quick to find Takky's YouTube channel, which featured a young boy playing NBA 2K24. The realization that a child might have used his mother's credit card without her knowledge left Cenat exclaiming, "Oh my god, he stole his mum's card, he gifted 2,350!" It was evident that Cenat was worried about the situation and even commented that the kid or his mum might have to call the bank to get the money back.
Unfortunately, Twitch's policy does not allow streamers to refuse gifted subscriptions, except in cases of technical issues, fraud, or where required by law. This is a common problem faced by many streamers, as children often get hold of their parents' credit cards and donate to their favorite streamers. In fact, a large portion of Twitch's audience is underage, making this a recurring issue.
As for the marathon stream, Cenat and IShowSpeed have been at it for four days now, with 82 hours and 38 deaths in, but they still haven't beaten Minecraft. This unexpected turn of events has definitely added to the excitement and drama of the stream, making it even more talked about.
