"No way Ray is international like this": Netizens react to a reported mural of Kai Cenat's Taiwanese friend in Germany

Ray "rayasianboy", a Twitch streamer and close associate of internet personality, Kai Cenat, was recently depicted on a mural in Flensburg, Germany. The painting was done by Instagram user Kim Castensen (@kimc_nas), who is known for their detailed and expressive murals. These murals often depict celebrities and other streamers, like basketball player Lebron James or FaZe Clan member, FaZe Rug.

The painter replaced an older mural with Ray's face after his original piece was vandalized.

This situation incited conversations online, as many congratulated Ray and admired the art.

A post on X by user @scubaryan_ had fans reacting to the entire situation:

Some like @TheDukeeee found it hard to believe that Ray had such a global presence:

"Nah, no way Ray is international like this 😭😭😭"

User @royal_bobby24, appreciated the quality of the artwork:

"This is one of the most accurate murals I have ever seen 😭nah bruh is talented, he actually looks like Ray [more] than Ray himself."

Another X user, @YoungboySource, mentioned the influence of Kai Cenat in Ray's current position:

"It's crazy how Kai changed his life in [the] snap of a finger 🔥."

The mural also features the phrase "God did", which was popularized by the two. Here's a video of Ray using the phrase when Kai won an award at the 2023 Streamys.

Overall, the mural could be seen as a testament to how far the streamer has come.
