Kai Cenat discloses the real reason behind taking a break from Twitch. At the start of October 2025, Cenat was the most-subscribed streamer on the platform and surpassed the one-million subscriber mark. Not only that, Twitch CEO Dan Clancy and LeBron James also made appearances on his final Mafiathon 3. Notably, it also marked Cenat’s last Twitch streaming.
Kai Cenat shares why he took a break from Twitch
Kai Cenat reveals he took a break from Twitch to pursue his other interests and endeavors. He unveiled his new fashion line, Vivet. He shared a YouTube video where he discussed stepping away from streaming and giving his fans a glimpse into his new fashion line.
Shortly after his YouTube video, “I quit,” the former Twitch streamer spoke about this in an interview with TMZ. As the 24-year-old streamer walked outside the airport, a TMZ reporter asked him burning questions on the go. TMZ asked, “Listen, you are doing new things. Everyone thought you were done streaming. Now you drop a clothing line. How does it feel to do something totally new that people are about to see different sides of you?”
Cenat, who had paused to listen to the TMZ reporter, replied, “It feels fun to just do a new skill. Just develop it for fun. I’m actually having a lot of fun right now.” The TMZ reporter questioned, “Alright. Is that the main goal?” The Mafiathon streamer replied, “That is the goal. I had to take it seriously. It’s close. It’s like you indulge in it as much as possible. That’s why I had to take a step back from streaming to do what I got to do.”
The reporter asked, “So this is the plan. This is the next step to your career?” “Yes,” Cenat responded. The reporter continued, “How real are you with the needle now? Are you nice?” The 24-year-old replied, “I’m a beginner. I can make a few hoodies. I’m trying to do denim next. I’m a beginner right now, just learning.”
