July 8th 2024.
Kai Cenat, a well-known streamer on Twitch, almost faced a major consequence for his recent antics. In a July 3 livestream, he invited popular YouTuber Mr. Beast to join him in celebrating the holiday. As the two went live from Cenat's home, viewers were greeted with a dazzling display of fireworks in the background. Little did they know, things were about to go awry in front of Cenat's massive audience of over 12 million followers.
A clip of the incident was reposted by Complex, a media outlet, and quickly gained attention. In the video, Cenat can be seen getting into a heated argument with AMP Davis, a fellow gamer, who lit up one of the boxes of fireworks while Mr. Beast was not in the room. Cenat's frustration was evident as he yelled at Davis to stop playing around. The situation escalated as the two engaged in a physical altercation over the box of explosives, with Cenat hurling profanities at Davis.
In the midst of the chaos, Cenat's angry outburst caught the attention of Twitch, who deemed the display of recklessness and danger a violation of their community guidelines. As per the platform's rules, streamers are prohibited from posting dangerous activities or encouraging others to do so. Cenat's actions could have resulted in harm to himself and others in the home, putting his channel at risk of being banned.
In a video posted on YouTube the following day, Cenat revealed that the fireworks were actually a cleverly crafted prank. The room where the livestream took place was a fake, and he and Mr. Beast had spent a month creating an outdoor replica of the stunt. However, Twitch had already taken notice and removed the VOD (video on demand) of the stream. Cenat had to quickly explain the situation to his representatives on Twitch to avoid being banned.
According to Twitch's community guidelines, any behavior that endangers one's life or encourages others to engage in physically harmful activities is strictly prohibited. This includes stunts or pranks that could potentially cause physical harm to anyone. Cenat's risky prank could have had serious consequences, but luckily, no one was hurt.
Despite the controversy, Cenat's YouTube video explaining the prank has garnered over 3.6 million views, adding to his growing infamy. While he may have avoided being banned from Twitch, Cenat's actions serve as a reminder to all content creators to be mindful of the potential consequences of their stunts and pranks, and to always prioritize the safety of themselves and their audience.
