"CEO, do what you've got to do" - Kai Cenat claims Dan Clancy could potentially unban IShowSpeed on Twitch

On August 1, 2023, Streamer of the Year Kai Cenat discussed his recent conversation with Twitch CEO Dan Clancy. According to Cenat, the first question he asked Clancy was whether YouTube sensation Darren "IShowSpeed" would be unbanned from Twitch. For context, IShowSpeed was indefinitely suspended from the Amazon-owned platform on December 12, 2021, after he appeared as a guest on Adin Ross' e-dating show.

While conversing with TikTok personality Ashaley "Ash Kash" on the show, the 18-year-old made some suggestive remarks. He said:

"Say, we're the last two people on Earth and we had to reproduce to make the world continue. Would you reproduce with me? (Ash Kash responds with a 'no') Who's going to stop me? Who's going to stop me?! If we (are) the last two people on Earth, who's going to stop me?! You're not stopping me! If we're the last two people on Earth, who's going to stop me?"

According to Cenat, Clancy "agreed" to reinstate IShowSpeed on Twitch:

"We sat down with the CEO. The first couple of questions I asked, 'Yo, we need Speed unbanned ASAP!' And, guess what that n***a said. 'I agree.' So, CEO, do what you've got to do. Okay? CEO, do what you've got to do!"
