Kai Cenat has officially made streaming history.
The 23-year-old Twitch star—known for turning subathons into cultural events, pulling off surprise moments like hosting Linkin Park in his studio, and pushing the limits of marathon streams—just became the first ever to hit 1 million active Twitch subscribers.
On Sunday, September 28, Cenat crossed the milestone live on stream, surrounded by friends and holding back tears.
“I started off the year not even knowing what the f*** I’m about to do after ‘Mafiathon 2,’” he admitted, reflecting on his rollercoaster year. “I could have quit at any time. I could have stopped. I could have took a break. I could have stopped, but something told me to keep going… If I didn’t have Jesus in my life, none of this would be possible… Don’t ever worry about what anybody’s got to say about you. You can do anything that you want to.”
After the stream, Kai Cenat took to X to double down on the historic moment, writing:
“STARTING 2025 I WAS A LITTLE LOST AND DIDN’T KNOW HOW IT WAS GONNA GO BUT FAST FORWARD AND NOW IM HERE 1,000,000 SUBS THANK YOU GOD GOAL IS OFFICIALLY COMPLETE.”
In just a few hours, Kai Cenat’s celebratory post exploded with engagement, pulling in tens of thousands of likes, over 20,000 reshares, and a flood of fan reactions. Supporters flooded his mentions with memes, fire emojis, and replays of the exact second his counter rolled over. One fan captured the mood perfectly: “That’s the grind paying off. Uncertainty, hustle, prayer, and then domination.”
Even Twitch itself joined in on the celebration, posting: “Chat, he did it. 1 million subs in 27 days. Congrats @KaiCenat. Legendary.”
