Twitch superstar Kai Cenat has landed in hot water after a video surfaced showing him filming his 16-year-old friend, RaKai, in a bathroom, sparking a firestorm of backlash across social media.
The Incident That Shocked Fans
On March 12, 2025, a clip began circulating online showing Cenat knocking on the bathroom door while RaKai was inside. Despite RaKai’s protests, someone in Cenat’s entourage forced the door open, exposing RaKai in a compromising situation. Cenat then grabbed RaKai’s phone and flashed it to the camera, while RaKai—clearly caught off guard—reacted in shock.
The clip, originally shared during one of Cenat’s livestreams, was immediately met with outrage, with viewers calling it an invasion of privacy and inappropriate behavior, especially considering RaKai’s age.

Fan Backlash: ‘This is Actually Disgusting’
As the video gained traction, fans and critics alike condemned Cenat’s actions, calling for accountability.
“This is actually disgusting. Why did Kai think this was funny? He’s messing with a minor’s privacy. Twitch and Nike need to take a hard look at this.”
“This isn’t just a prank. This is straight-up weird. Walking in on a 16-year-old in the bathroom is NOT normal.”
Many pointed out that Dr DisRespect, another high-profile streamer, was banned from Twitch in 2019 for filming inside a public restroom.
“So Dr DisRespect gets banned for doing this in a public place, but Kai Cenat gets a pass? Make it make sense.”
Defenders Say It’s Just ‘Brotherly Banter’
Despite the uproar, some of Cenat’s loyal fans have brushed off the criticism, claiming the situation was nothing more than playful teasing between close friends.
🔹 “This is how brothers play around, y’all making it weird.”
🔹 “RaKai wasn’t even mad, this is just Kai being Kai.”
However, many argue that this goes beyond harmless fun, emphasizing that violating someone’s privacy, especially a minor’s, should never be excused as a joke.
Will There Be Consequences?
As of now, Cenat has not addressed the controversy, and Twitch has not issued a statement on whether the incident violates their content guidelines. However, with public pressure mounting, it remains to be seen whether the platform or Cenat’s brand sponsors will take action.
This incident has once again ignited discussions about boundaries in online content creation, where streamers often push the limits for entertainment. The question now is: Has Kai Cenat crossed the line?
