Kai Cenat Calls Out Twitch CEO To His Face
Recently, Kai Cenat has become more active on social media following a hiatus after his MafiaThon 3 event in September. While the 24-year-old has yet to return to streaming, he has shared behind-the-scenes updates documenting his life during the break.
In a recent post shared to X and his secondary Instagram account, @kc3hidden, Cenat uploaded footage from the 2025 Streamer Awards in December showing him directly addressing Twitch CEO Dan Clancy over his controversial “Streamer Mount Rushmore” comments.
In the video, Cenat references a previous livestream in which Clancy excluded Cenat and iShowSpeed from his Mount Rushmore, despite having included Cenat during MafiaThon 3 the month prior. Cenat also points out that Clancy later stated he only included him at the time because Cenat asked the question directly. Cenat shared the footage with the caption, “No accountability.”
