3) Coined the term "Unspoken Rizz"

On the No Jumper podcast, Kai Cenat revealed that he and a couple of friends from New York were the first to use the term before it became popular. He claimed that the term became popular on TikTok after he started using it often.

Cenat described the meaning of "rizz" as:

"Rizz is when you're talking to your girl. But at first, shi* is not going your way... until you speak game till where you're like, you're rizzing. You're rizzing them up till hold on, shi* is starting to go your way. It's like going from a dead end to, 'Yo, you are just so swift with your words.'"

Summing up, Kai Cenat said:

"After shi* goes your way? Alright, I rizzed her up. I got mad rizz. That's rizz."

4) Tradition of indoor fireworks wars - possible cause for eviction

In July this year, a clip from Cenat's stream went viral when he lit fireworks inside the AMP house. Many drew similarities to IShowSpeed's debacle the same week. But fans clarified that Kai Cenat and his fellow content creators had been embroiled in firecracker wars for a while.

Many speculated that the fireworks inside the rooms were probably why they were evicted from their last house. This can also be verified vis-a-vis the AMP house tour video from the previous section, which opens with Keemstar speculating the same:

"It's been a month since they were evicted. Don't even know why, was it because of that firework war?"

5) Started off doing short-form content on Instagram and Facebook

While Kai Cenat has found massive success on Twitch, he initially started his content creation career with short-form skits uploaded on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. The videos go back to when he was in high school. The following is a Facebook video published on November 17, 2016:

His move to YouTube gave rise to a new sort of video from the creator, leaning towards IRL challenges and pranks. The viral Ding Dong Ditch series, where he and his friends prank people by ringing their doorbells and running away, has over 11 videos with millions of views.

With such a varied form of content, Kai Cenat is proving to be one of the most genre-defying creative individuals in the streaming space. It is no wonder he climbed up the Twitch ladder quickly and has a loyal fanbase.
