Bans Kai Cenat faced on Twitch

1. Kai Cenat banned for explicit in-game behavior

In April, Cenat received his fifth and most recent ban from Twitch, which lasted for a week. This ban was reportedly a result of Cenat's actions during a 'Grand Theft Auto 5' stream, during which he repeatedly engaged in an explicit simulated activity. Twitch cited this behavior as a violation of its terms of service. Interestingly, Cenat had just won the Streamer of the Year award, indicating that his popularity on the platform was still on the rise, despite the multiple controversies he has faced.

2. Kai Cenat banned for eating edibles on-stream

In January, Cenat received his fourth ban, which lasted for three days. The ban was likely a result of Cenat passing out on stream after consuming marijuana edibles, which violated Twitch's on-stream narcotics policy.

3. Kai Cenat banned for misinterpreted on-stream comments

In March, Kai Cenat was banned from Twitch for 30 days, which many considered a severe punishment. The ban was reportedly due to his comments during a stream that was perceived as threatening by Twitch staffers. Despite his growing popularity, the severity of the ban created tension between Cenat and Twitch. As a result, there was speculation that he might move to other streaming platforms, such as Kick. This incident also led to other content creators showing their support for Cenat.

4. Kai Cenat banned for explicit imagery

In August 2021, Cenat received his second one-day ban for sharing explicit images on his subreddit. As a result, he vowed to implement stricter moderation on the subreddit.

5. Kai Cenat banned for first time over explicit photo

In July 2021, Cenat received his first Twitch ban, which lasted a day. This incident occurred when Cenat accidentally broadcast an explicit photograph to his viewers while browsing through his subreddit during a stream. While the ban was small due to the lack of intention, it marked the beginning of a series of suspensions for the streamer.
