Kai Cenat becomes the first to reach 500K Twitch subscribers, says he has been coughing up blood doing Mafiathon 2

Kai Cenat has become the first Twitch content creator to reach 500,000 subscribers on Twitch, blowing past Ironmouse's existing record of 326,000. However, becoming the most-subscribed content creator on the platform seems to have come with its own set of complications for the streamer — in the form of a massive health scare.

While talking to his audience on Day 22 of his subathon (Mafiathon 2), Cenat revealed that he had coughed up blood in a cup that very morning:

"This morning, I was coughing up blood, right? In a cup. Looking at the cup, there's blood, there's spit... N***a, I am sick, 'cause my chest is all clogged. Bro, I feel a lot better, I feel a lot better, but every time where I do feel tired, or sh** is tough... Y'all always prove to me why I should keep going."

Fanum and FaZe Kaysan confront Kai Cenat for not sleeping well during the Mafiathon 2 stream

Kai Cenat is currently doing a month-long subathon, streaming twenty-four hours for all of November 2024. In a subathon, the broadcast's duration is directly influenced by the number of subscriptions from viewers, with each new donation delaying the timer counting down to the end of the broadcast.

Cenat's Mafiathon 2 subathon has seen multiple celebrity cameos, including record producer and songwriter Benny Blanco and hip-hop artist Chris Brown. However, as FaZe Clan member Kaysan and fellow AMP member Roberto "Fanum" pointed out, Kai's health seems to have taken a backseat because of the non-stop streaming.

A clip shows Fanum expressing his concern regarding Cenat's unhealthy sleep schedule due to the subathon. Kai also conversed with Kaysan through a phone call made by Fanum, which is where the FaZe member said:

"Listen to Fanum. You don't sleep. I think tonight, you should sleep, no speakers, no nothing, and sleep well. One night, you need it, bro."

Immediately, Kai Cenat defiantly replied:

"F**k no! Hell no! No, I don't."

Talking to Keysan, Fanum then said:

"Thank you, thank you... I'm gonna tell him. I'm about to spaz on him right now."

During their collaborative broadcast together, Kai Cenat and Benny Blanco had come across EmilyCC, a Twitch content creator who has been hosting a subathon for three years straight. This means she has broadcasted herself daily, non-stop, since November 2021. Since EmilyCC was given a spotlight on Cenat's broadcast, she has received over 10,000 subscriptions on Twitch.
