Kai Cenat (born Kai Carlo Cenat III on December 16, 2001) is a trailblazing American streamer who redefined digital entertainment for Gen Z. Raised in Brooklyn, New York, Kai's journey began with comedic skits on Facebook and YouTube in 2018. However, his career trajectory changed in February 2021 when he migrated to Twitch. His high-energy 'just chatting' streams and celebrity collaborations with stars like Kevin Hart and Nicki Minaj quickly propelled him to superstardom. By 2023, he broke records as the most-subscribed Twitch streamer in history during his first 'Mafiathon' event. As of 2026, Kai remains a global cultural icon, though he has recently expanded his horizons beyond live broadcasting. Following the intensity of 'Mafiathon 3' in late 2025, he launched a secondary YouTube channel, 'Kai's Mind,' to document his personal growth and interest in high fashion. This pivot led to the debut of his own fashion brand, Vivet, marking his transition from a viral content creator to a serious entrepreneur and designer. Despite a brief hiatus from his main channel, Kai continues to lead the AMP collective and shape the future of internet culture.
