A playful prank between Twitch star Kai Cenat and YouTuber IShowSpeed escalated quickly. It started with Kai sending Speed a jumpscare link in X, only for Speed to allegedly retaliate by leaking Kai's phone number.
From there, things spiraled quickly. Cenat allegedly struck back by sharing not just Speed's number but his dad's as well, taking the prank war into the personal realm.
Speed took the prank war from friendly fire to a full-blown airstrike, reportedly leaking Kai's entire family's phone numbers like he was dropping patch notes. As soon as the video went viral, someone (@crisnrrr) took to his X account and commented:
"Fire plays with fire"
And for real, it's difficult to distinguish who's the match and who's the gas at this juncture. Kai and Speed aren't just exchanging jokes - they're essentially hosting a demolition derby with one another's personal details. If they keep going on like this, they'll be divulging birth certificates and childhood report cards in no time.
Of course, the internet didn't miss this one. While Kai and Speed escalated their prank war into a full-blown contact list Armageddon, fans leaped to the comments like they were watching a live-action soap opera.
The theatrics didn't remain limited to their channels - shots of Cenat's stream began circulating in Speed's Discord server, with the fans keeping the fire alive and turning the exchange from banter to front-page-worthy pandemonium.
Some were chuckling, some were freaking out, and others were simply snatching popcorn, watching two streamers go all "mutually assured destruction" over a jumpscare link. Here's how the timeline responded!
Netizens have reacted as Kai Cenat and Speed allegedly leak phone numbers amid ongoing prank wars
Some of them couldn't help but make wisecracks, referring to it as if it were some kind of "Leaker vs. Leaker" world tour. Others poked fun, saying at this rate, the family pet's number could end up getting outed:
"Adults fooling themselves," a user hilariously commented.
"i called and i just had a whole 4 hour convo with 'his dad'," another user wrote.
"The most mature i have ever seen," a netizen sarcastically expressed.
A few commentators jumped in merely to be caught up in the drama, tweeting that they switched their own number first before Kai and Speed went and spilled the whole phone directory by accident. Others just shared popcorn emojis like it was primetime television while calling this whole episode a fake one:
"yall cannot be that dumb to believe they actually leaking family members numbers right? Lol. speed is clearly typing in kai mom and a random number same went for kai all for content," a user commented.
"his literally typing the names & numbers on the spot bro think we dumb," according to a user.
"It’s going to be a long night for his family," a user wrote.
Then the peanut gallery tossed in jokes freely like sportscasters. Others played the part of refs throwing a foul against both sides, while others just giggled, commenting that the only winner here was the block button:
"Npt so cool mate now kai's family have to face problem with tons of calls," a netizen commented.
"deserved LOL," a user wrote.
In the end, what had started as an innocuous prank ended up leading to a full-fledged contact list disaster. Speed and Kai could fight each other, but who took the greatest casualty were phones that were spammed with irrelevant calls. Perhaps, at this time, the number 911 will be secure alone.
