Kai Cenat risks Twitch ban after Valkyrae prank sparks backlash
Kai Cenat is coming under fire after instructing his viewers to spam “Valkyrae got leaked” in the 100 Thieves co-owners Twitch chat.
After five years on YouTube,Valkyrae returned to Twitch in January. She’s continued to stream regularly alongside her closest friends, with tens of thousands of viewers each broadcast.
On Saturday, January 11, Kai Cenat was reacting to various Twitch streamers when he opened Valkyrae’s channel and almost immediately told his fans to spam her chat.
“Tell her she got leaked. Say ‘Valk got leaked.’ Say ‘Valkyrae got leaked’ [in her chat],” he said. His fans immediately began telling him that they wouldn’t do that, with some confused as to why he’d even ask.
“No? Oh my god, y’all are p**sy’s. Are y’all deada*s?” Cenat added before moving on to watch a different streamer.
It wasn’t long until a clip of Kai asking his fans to spam Valkyrae’s chat made its way to social media, sparking backlash from many on the platform.

Although it appears the attempted chat raid wasn’t done maliciously, Kai Cenat could still receive punishment from the Amazon-owned platform.
Twitch’s Community Guidelines for harassmentstate that streamers cannot “incite viewers to target another person with abuse.”
“Inciting viewers to target another person with abuse, regardless of whether the targets are on or off-Twitch. Organizing or participating in hostile raiding. Directly opening a user’s channel on stream and directing personal attacks towards them,” it reads.
Back in 2022, Twitch streamer JiDion was permabanned after sending his viewers into Pokimane’s chat to spam “L + RATIO,” prompting the Twitch star to abruptly end her broadcast.
They’ve sincemade amends, however, andJiDion was unbanned from the platformin May 2024, almost two years later.
