Twitch star Kai Cenat has received backlash from the online community after a video of his interaction with his friend, RaKai, surfaced on social media. On March 12, 2025, a 28-second video went viral on X, showing Kai knocking on the bathroom door while RaKai was inside. Telling the 16-year-old content creator to open the door, the two-time Streamer of the Year award winner said:
"RaKai... open it."
RaKai responded:
"N***a, I'm taking a s**t!"
One of Cenat's associates opened the door and showed RaKai in a compromised state. The Twitch streamer then grabbed the latter's phone and showed it to the camera.
This video has gone viral on X, eliciting reactions from hundreds of netizens. X user @Jiz described the 23-year-old's behavior as "disgusting," adding that Nike and Twitch should "see" the streamer's actions:
"Why did Kai Cenat do this?? This is actually disgusting. I hope Nike & Twitch see this also Rakai’s mother needs to take him away from them. Have you seen this @Nike @nikestore @nikebasketball @NikeNYC @nikefootball @usnikefootball @nikelondon @nikesb @nikediamond @NikeLA"
One community member believed Cenat and his associates were teaching children that entering a bathroom uninvited is "okay":
"They are three grown men forcibly walking in on a 16-year-old. If scripted, they still teach kids watching that it's okay to enter a toilet uninvited, which it isn't." X user @dahtsick wrote.
X user @abusejuicex recalled Herschel "Guy," popularly known as "Dr DisRespect," getting banned from Twitch for "doing the exact thing":
"Didn’t dr disrespect get banned for doing this exact thing but in a public bathroom?" X user @abusejuicex posted.
On the other hand, some netizens stated that Kai Cenat's interaction with RaKai was "normal":
"This normal bro this big brother shi," X user @corteolo commented.
"This reg ny s**t stop trynna cancel my son Kai lol," X user @Rhlmv_ remarked.
