Kai Cenat's Twitch account was hacked. Reports indicate that Twitch temporarily suspended the account, likely as a precaution to prevent misuse. While access was eventually restored, features like the profile picture remain unchanged.
Right away, social media exploded with reactions from fans and other streamers. Many questioned how such a high-profile figure could fall victim to hacking, while others scrutinized Twitch’s security protocols. Some users wondered what drove the hacker to perform this breach, with some thinking they did it to make themselves famous or take control of Cenat's audience.
"He knows he’s got twitch in his back pocket," an X user wrote.
"No bro you are strong we are with you always," a fan reacted on X.
"You don’t panic when the fire comes. You walk through it and come out forged," a fan commented.
"i mean he right tho everyone know he got hacked and he obv wasn’t saying all that crazy s**t all that happened is he prolly lost his account for a day or two once everything’s figured out he’s not wrong," another X user wrote.
Beyond Twitch, Cenat’s YouTube account, which boasts over seven million subscribers, was also compromised. The hacker uploaded random internet memes along with some short gaming clips on the platform. Cenat’s TikTok account, which had over 17 million followers, was similarly hacked in February 2025. That incident led to a temporary loss of over 130 million likes before the account was restored.
Despite the breach, Kai Cenat has maintained a calm demeanor regarding the situation. Speaking to those who follow him, he shakes off the gravity of what has just happened, saying,
"That sh** all going to come back in the morning... No, no, don’t show attention to it."
Cenat remains one of the most-followed streamers on Twitch, ranking just behind Ninja, Ibai, and Auronplay. His ability to keep people engaged, even through disruptions like technical glitches or unexpected errors, is a testament to both his strength and his influence in the streaming world.
While Twitch has yet to release an official statement regarding the incident.
