Kai Cenat has surpassed xQc in the number of followers on Twitch. Today, he is the second most popular streamer in North America and the fifth in the world by follower count…
This certainly causes concern among some of his famous competitors. In recent times, Kai Cenat's popularity has been growing rapidly. This top streamer has already broken several records on the platform and currently has around 12.1 million followers on Twitch.
Thus, he has surpassed Canadian streamer xQc (Felix Lengyel) by nearly 100,000, becoming the second most popular streamer in the US after Ninja (Richard Tyler Blevins), who has 19.1 million followers.
Moreover, Kai Cenat's popularity is quickly gaining momentum, fueled by various hype topics often associated with him on social media. Creativity is certainly not something he lacks!
For example, Cenat hosted massive streams, such as a 166-hour marathon in which he played Elden Ring. This stream attracted more than 86,000 viewers.
We can also recall his June sleepover stream, which more than 712,000 viewers watched. This stream featured the famous Hollywood actor Kevin Hart and comedian Druski, who increased views by their mere presence.
A week ago, Cenat, together with #1 YouTuber MrBeast staged a live fireworks prank in his apartment. During the stream on July 3, Cenat’s friend set off a pile of fireworks that caused a large explosion. The next day Kai said that made it in a replica room in a field.
If this trend continues, he may soon surpass Ninja in popularity. Especially considering that in the last month alone, Kai has gained around 1.2 million followers, while Ninja has gained less than 20,000 in the same period.
Globally, Kai Cenat is currently ranked only fifth among streamers. He is surpassed by Spanish streamers such as Auronplay, Ibai, and Rubius.
But Kai is quickly moving towards his goal of becoming the top streamer in the world. He is outpacing his competitors in social media as well. Currently, his fan count stands at 6.22 million subscribers on YouTube, 10.3 million followers on Instagram, and 2.3 million on Twitter (X). And believe me, it's only going to grow...
