Kai Cenat has been on a hiatus from streaming while focusing on building his clothing brand, Vivet. But the online criticism hasnt slowed down. In a new video, the popular creator revealed a hate wall filled with negative comments that he says keeps him motivated during the process.
Kai Cenat has been taking a break from streaming since his 30-day ‘Mafiathon’ in September 2025, during which he set a record by reaching 1 million Twitch subscribers. After hitting that milestone, Cenat has shifted his focus to his next venture, his upcoming fashion line, Vivet. While fans are used to seeing him online almost daily, Cenat has been keeping a lower profile in recent months. Still, he has dropped small glimpses into his new routine and hobbies. The creator recently launched a new YouTube channel, Kais Mind, where he shares videos of himself reading, sewing, and working out as part of his new lifestyle and brand development.
Cenats new journey has sparked mixed reactions online. While some fans support him pursuing a new passion, others have criticized the shift. During his time away, Kai has also been traveling to Italy to work on Vivet’s development. In his latest video, Cenat revealed what he called a hate wall, a wall covered with printed negative comments from users on X who doubt his vision. According to Cenat, the wall serves as a reminder to embrace criticism and use it as motivation to keep pushing the brand forward. He ended the one-minute clip with a message about proving doubters wrong: “They dont believe until you make it cool,”Cenat said.
