Summary

On November 21, Cenat welcomed Chris Brown to the broadcast. The pair entertained viewers by showcasing their backflip skills, singing Brown’s hit songs, and enjoying a casual basketball game. While some fans praised the collaboration, calling it “legendary” on Cenat’s X account, others criticized the decision, pointing to Brown’s controversial past and history of domestic violence and sexual abuse, most notably against his ex-girlfriendRihanna.

In response to Cenat’s now-deleted tweet, one person wrote: “lucifer username [angry emoji] woman beater [happy emoji],” referencing an incident days earlier when Cenat rebuked and refunded a fan who had donated 100 subscriptions solely because their username was “Lucifer.” Another X user commented on a clip fromthe month-long Mafiathon 2 stream, saying, “Kai forgot Chris is literally a woman beater? [people] do anything for some views,” while a third added, “Kai always surrounds himself with the wrong people.”

Kai Cenat Under Fire For Bringing Chris Brown On Stream

This latest backlash comes weeks after Cenat welcomed rapper and fellow YouTuber DDG, along with his nearly one-year-old son, Halo, for a stream. While Halo’s appearance sparked a minor disagreement between DDG and Halo’s mom, Halle Bailey, the stream itself showed everyone enjoying the moment. One of Kai Cenat’s most memorable streams took place in June, featuring comedians Kevin Hart and Druski. The stream, which included a surprise FaceTime call with LeBron James, set a new Twitch North American record for viewership, reaching “712,600 peak concurrent viewers” and attracting 4.95 million unique viewers over 11.5 hours,according to Afrotech.
