Twitch CEO Dan Clancy is backtracking on his decision to include popular streamers Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed (Darren Jason Watkins Jr.) on the hypothetical Streamer Mount Rushmore. Clancy was first asked to name his “Mount Rushmore of streamers” during a Mafiathon 3 interview, Kai Cenat’s recent month-long 24-hour Twitch stream. Clancy listed Ninja, IShowSpeed, Pokimane, Kai Cenat, and CohhCarnage. However, in a video making the rounds on social media as of Monday, Oct. 13, 2025, Clancy admits he only included Cenat because he asked, suggesting neither Cenat nor IShowSpeed truly deserves a spot. “…It probably should be more historical. You know, in other words, Kai is big now, but arguably, it’s like he asked me, so I had to put him on there. But arguably it’s like ‘Look, you’re great, but you can’t be on the Mount Rushmore yet,’” Clancy said.

Popular streamer Kai Cenat is paying it forward.

Twitch star Kai Cenat provided an update on his long-promised Nigerian school project during the kickoff of his highly anticipated Mafiathon 3 livestream. The announcement follows months of questions from fans about the initiative, Dexerto reports. Cenat first pledged support for a Nigerian school during his visit to the Makoko Children Development Foundation School and Orphanage in Lagos, Nigeria, in March 2024, where he saw over 300 students crowded into a single classroom, as AFROTECH™ previously reported. At the time, he promised to provide help however he could. After returning to the U.S., he expanded that commitment, announcing plans to build a completely new school to better serve the students and community of Makoko. Over the following year, fans repeatedly asked for updates as the project remained largely unreported, while donations continued to accumulate, according to Dexerto. During the recent Mafiathon 3, Cenat paused the stream to provide new details. Two...

A lot of streamers are not good at click-and-start and not having no plan,” Raud said on the podcast. “I’m really good at that because before, where streaming’s at right now, the bigger streamers got it to a point where people feel like...

Streaming may not be the easiest job, but it’s not harder than a standard 9-to-5 — or at least not according to Kai Cenat . During an interview with Shannon Sharpe on the “Club Shay Shay” podcast, the online streamer was asked if his job is more difficult than a typical 9-to-5, to which he replied, “F-ck no.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Club Shay Shay (@clubshayshay) “Anybody who says streaming is harder than a 9-to-5 is an idiot,” Cenat said. “I work so hard on my streams, it takes a lot of hard work, there’s a lot of planning. You got to be in front of a camera for dozens of hours. I understand that, it’s hard.” “But harder than a 9-to-5? You’re talking about somebody that may not even want to be there,” he continued. “I love streaming. I think about it all the time… The average 9-to-5 worker don’t want to be there.” Cenat added that when those that work a 9-to-5 job finally receive their paychecks, they often use them to pay bills and care for their...
