Twitch bans Kai Cenat’s friend RaKai after his reckless driving stream goes viral on social media

Popular Twitch streamer and close friend of Kai Cenat, RaKai (aka 2xRaKai), has just been hit with a Twitch ban, again. This time, it’s not because of something said online, but because of something he did IRL...and

it’s got the internet talking big time. Here’s everything about the incident.

Who Is RaKai?

If you're not already familiar, RaKai (aka 2xRaKai) is a rising streamer who’s been gaining attention through collabs with big creators like Kai Cenat. He’s young (just 16), high-energy, and until this week, very much active on Twitch.But on June 16, 2025, Twitch said “nope” and took his channel down—for the second time.

What Actually Went Down?

On June 15, 2025, a clip started making rounds online showing 16-year-old RaKai driving a car recklessly and, yes, streaming it live.

In the clip, he’s seen texting while driving, taking his hands off the wheel, and basically just treating traffic laws like side quests.The video blew up on X (formerly Twitter), Reddit, and everywhere in between. People were shocked, not just by the driving, but by the fact that this was all happening on stream.

What Got Him Banned?

In a word? Recklessness. Just a day before the ban, RaKai went viral for livestreaming himself driving while looking at his phone.

And no, that’s not even the worst part. At one point, he straight-up took his hands off the steering wheel on stream.The car swerved, the internet freaked out, and Twitch clearly wasn’t amused. The clip started circulating on X (Twitter) and Reddit faster than you can say “TOS violation.”

Twitch Was Already Watching Him

Before the actual ban hammer dropped, RaKai had already hinted that something was up.During a 38-second clip from his June 16 stream, he told his chat that Twitch was “investigating” his case. He seemed unsure if a ban was coming but was trying to stay optimistic, dropping lines like:“I thought I was over, chat… but W Twitch.

W Twitch rep.”Spoiler alert: It wasn’t a W. A few hours later, boom—his Twitch channel became “temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.”

So What Now?

RaKai hasn’t publicly responded to the ban (as of now), and Twitch hasn’t said how long the suspension will last. It could be days. It could be a month. It could be permanent.But one thing’s clear—streaming while being irresponsible IRL is a fast track to getting clipped. Twitch isn’t playing when it comes to unsafe behavior that spills off-screen.Whether you’re a fan of RaKai or not, this incident is a reminder that clout-chasing while putting lives at risk (especially your own) is not the flex some think it is. Keep the energy on stream. Not on the highway.
