Watch: Kai Cenat gets slammed into the ground by a jubilant IShowSpeed after reaching 28 million YouTube subscribers
Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed have been friends for a long time, having collaborated with each other on multiple occasions. Their ongoing stream is the Hardcore Minecraft marathon and it has not been going great considering the two have been at it for more than two days at this point.
The Hardcore mode in Minecraft essentially introduces permanent deaths, meaning that a character's death will lead to a game over. Their first attempt ended after the duo died to the final boss of the game after 13 hours of gameplay, and things have not improved since then.
In fact, things had gotten so bad that IShowSpeed had even lost his voice by the time his subscriber tally on YouTube started nearing the 28 million mark. The streamer is known for celebrating eccentricly reaching these milestones, and this time he decided to use Kai Cenat as a prop.
Once the subscription counter reached 28 million, IShowSpeed decided to do one of his signature backflips. However, this time, he pulled Kai Cenat close before lifting him and slamming him into the ground. The YouTuber then finished his move by imitating CR7's Siu.
Even though it seemed like the move hurt Cenat, who was seen crawling in the background, Speed seemed entirely unbothered as he shouted:
"Siu! 28 million! 28 million baby, 28 million."
As he jumped around celebrating the accomplishment, Kai Cenat could be seen trying to get back up with the support of the Minecraft-inspired blocks in the room. However, the Twitch streamer could not do it and stayed down for a few more seconds before getting scared after IShowSpeed started throwing things around.
In related news, YouTube had recently suspended IShowSpeed over a car stunt where the streamer jumped over a couple of sports cars on a livestream. He has made quite a comeback since then, having met up with Lil Wayne and Tom Brady at the Fanatics Fest before starting the Hardcore Minecraft marathon with Kai Cenat.
