Twitch streamer Kai Cenat has come under fire following comments he made about his content supposedly targeting an adult audience, not children.

Kai Cenat is one of the most popular streamers in the world today. The content creator breaking records throughout 2023 for his increase in followers and rise to major fame and popularity. 

However, Cenat had found himself at the center of drama on social media following comments he made on a recent stream in regards to children watching his content.

Cenat began his rant by stating, “I don’t know who thinks and believes that I make content for kids but you’re dumb as sh*t.”

The streamer then added, “The content that I make is for me and other grown adults, if your kids tune in, you gotta call their parents, that ain’t me…you can’t blame me if kids are tuning in.”

Finally, Cenat explained how before each stream he includes a warning that the content audiences are about to watch is for those over the age of 18, and that he has no control if children then decide to click on his stream following the pop-up warning.

“I can call up my Twitch rep and say, hey can you please take off that warning for my sh** but guess what, I leave it, you want to know why? Because hopefully you’re 18+ and watching this sh*t. It literally warns you before you click on my stream.”

Following this explosive rant, Twitter users have begun roasting Cenat on social media. Calling the content creator out for allegedly pretending his content isn’t catered towards younger audiences and that this is “the biggest lie” they’ve ever heard.

“I ain’t a hater but his humor really is just for kids 14 and below. Don’t get me wrong though some sh** is still funny, just not as much anymore,” wrote one Twitter user. Another added, “No one over the age of 18 is watching Kai Cenat, let’s be honest here.”

Time will tell if Cenat decides to address the viral blowback surrounding his recent comments about his target audience, however, we’ll be sure to keep you in the know if the streamer does decide to acknowledge the online outcry in the coming weeks.
