Fousey claims Twitch streamers use viewbots after not being invited to Kai Cenat's Mafiathon 2 stream

Streamer, musician, and internet personality Yousef "Fousey" Erakat has been going viral lately for his expressive rants online. Due to his past behavior, both Twitch and Kick banned the streamer from broadcasting on their platforms. Since then, he has been active on X Live, streaming to his audience and going on his rants about the streaming industry.

In one particular incident on stream, Fousey called out Twitch superstar Kai Cenat, who has just come out of a successful subathon, and claimed that certain top streamers on the platform fake viewership through bots:

"Fake a*s Twitch viewbotters. Y'all on Twitch acting like y'all don't view bot, Kick streamer only view bot... Don't make me expose you on the documentary next year, oh wait, I'm gonna. All of y'all, even the motherf**kers at the top spot."

For context, view botting is artificially inflating a video or stream's viewer count using automated software (bots). This is considered an unethical practice that misleads audiences and platforms, creating a false impression of popularity or engagement.

After this, Fousey claimed Cenat was scared to have him on his stream:

"He's too pu**y to have me on his stream, respectfully. He's too media trained, PR, Nike Brand, McDonald's, to have someone like me and he copes behind 'Oh I don't want you to embarrass yourself', no you don't, you don't want to f*ck up your bag."

In his rant, he refers to Kai Cenat's brand deals, like with Nike or, more recently, McDonald's. Based on previous instances, Fousey insinuated that the latter was afraid to lose sponsorship if he had him on stream.

"I don't want him to embarrass himself": Kai Cenat speaks on Fousey potentially coming on his stream

Prior to these view-botting allegations, Kai Cenat reacted to an X stream wherein Fousey claimed that the streamer thought he was a brand risk.

Cenat refuted the claims and said he was more concerned for Fousey, afraid that he'd embarrass himself:

"It's not even about being a brand risk... I don't want him to embarrass himself in front of mad people."

The streamer elaborated on this, referring to Fousey's career on YouTube. Cenat stated that he did not want a content creator from his childhood to jeopardize his image in front of a large number of people:

"Imagine, you a kid right, imagine you watch YouTubers and sh*t and you see how they was and all that sh*t, then imagine you have the opportunity for them to come on your stream, after you already know what's going on, and then there's a possibility that he may embarrass himself. You feel me? I wouldn't want to do that."

A viewer referenced Cenat's experience hosting rapper Kodak Black during his subathon, noting that many viewers found the rapper's behavior unusual:

"Like Kodak? Here's the thing chat, I didn't know how Kodak would act."

As of writing, Kai Cenat has yet to respond to the allegations of faking viewers through bots.
