Twitch streamer and Kai Cenat's friend Ray, also known as "rayasianboy," has claimed that he did not serve in the mandatory Taiwanese military service. In a 54-second video posted on X, Ray asserted that he did not serve his tenure in the military and spent the majority of his time playing NBA 2K.
While claiming that he "didn't do s**t," the content creator said:
"I'm going to be honest, chat, I didn't go to the military, chat. No cap. I didn't even go to the military. I didn't even... I didn't even go to the f**king gym. I didn't do s**t! I was playing 2K all day! If you've seen me in the 2K park, that is me. Ray Quan Lee. Oh, s**t! I leaked my name. If you've seen me in the 2K park, that is me. If you've seen me play in 2K, that's me. I didn't do s**t. I didn't do this s**t, I'm sorry."
Ray then explained that he took a four-month break from streaming for his mental health. He elaborated:
"On god, these four months, it's like mental break. Whole restart. You got your visa, you're Gucci over here. They're saying, 'Lying a**.' I'm sorry, chat. I'm sorry."
