Suspicion has arisen after Kai Cenat’s recent claim that he declined a $60 million offer from the streaming platform Kick.

The popular media personality shared in a Twitch stream that Kick offered him the massive sum to stream half of his first Mafiathon on their platform and announce that he had officially signed with them.

“They was like, ‘Yo, we’ll give you 60.’ I think it was like $60 million or however much millions it was—‘if you stream half of the sub-a-thon on Kick and then at the end of the sub-a-thon, you reveal that you have to join Kick.’”

Cenat claimed he turned down the proposal, saying, “I hung up the phone—chat, this is real—I literally got down on my knees, and I prayed, and I asked God if this is the right decision, I wanna follow my heart, let me just make the right decision here and please don’t let me regret it. And chat, I still feel like if I went, I wouldn’t be here right now. No cap.”

Yet, another streamer, Trainwreckstv, countered Cenat’s statement, alleging the offer was actually $22 million, not $60 million as Cenat claimed.

“It wasn’t 60 mil for a sub-a-thon.  It was 22 mil for a year, right?  It was 22 mil for a year. And then the first three months would be non-exclusive. And then after that, the next three months would be exclusive. And the 22 was for a year, right? And obviously, that was declined, and a little bit more was asked for. But it was nowhere near 60 mil for just a sub-a-thon,” he explained during his own stream.

In a tweet about his comments surfaced, Trainwreckstv clarified that he never believed Cenat was lying, but was misinformed.

“I never said lie, there was most likely just miscommunication between he and his management who do all his dealings on his behalf. Kai has no reason to lie, he’s one of the good ones, imo it was absolutely a miscommunication between managements,” he tweeted.

Cenat’s first Mafiathon, which he hosted from February 1st to March 2nd, 2023, earned him considerable success and a loyal fanbase. During this 30-day “sub-a-thon,” a marathon livestream format he branded as the Mafiathon, Cenat streamed non-stop to his fans, whom he calls his “Mafia.” His sub-a-thon success helped him reclaim the title of Twitch’s top streamer, a record he initially lost to VTuber Ironmouse.

No matter the true nature of the deal, on Monday, the viral influencer broke Ironmouse’s subscriber record of 326,252, making
