Kai Cenat has passed xQc in Twitch followers to become the 2nd most followed streamer from North America and fifth most followed worldwide.
The Twitch star has skyrocketed in popularity over the last few years, breaking various records on the platform while amassing millions of followers.
Kai Cenat has continued growing since then and now reached over 12M followers, surpassing Twitch stars xQc, TheGrefg, Shroud, and more.
According to Sullygnome,Kai has 12,061,413 followers at the time of writing. This puts him just over 60k above xQc and makes him the second most followed US-based streamer, right behind Ninja with 19M.
However, it won’t be long until Kai gets closer to Ninja’s spot as the most followed streamer. Between June 10 and July 10, Cenat gained nearly 1.2 million followers, while Ninja grew just under 20,000. This means he’s growing much faster and could quickly take over as the most followed Twitch streamer in just a matter of months.
Overall, he’s sitting at number five. Spanish stars Rubius, Ibai, and Auronplay sit between Kai and Ninja with between 15 and 17 million followers each.
Kai has held massive streams over the last couple of months, including a 166-hour marathon in which he played throughFromSoftware’s ultra-hard title Elden Ring,dying almost 2000 times in the process.
Hetopped Twitch viewer chartsduring that marathon, with over 86,000 average viewers on stream towards the end of it.
