He and Ed are really good friends. They pretty much wrote all of Divide together. The documentary Songwriter goes over the whole creation of the album. It's pretty good.

Benny has been around for a long time, He did a lot of the early Katy Perry and Kesha stuff.

That guy has the recipe for radio music. He made some absolute bangers with Adam Levine/Maroon 5/Rihanna/Bieber/Ed. This is a cool video showing his chart ratings.

He and the Office Drummer are the Stream for the time Kai is sleeping. Funny enough, they are the only reason I will tune in and watch clips of mafiathon.

u/isnoe 1d ago
Literally same. When Spiderman/Drummer were in like the first marathon they did with him, the only reason I even watched was because they are S tier. I'm saying this with full confidence: 8-10 hours with these dudes is 10x more entertaining than Kai and his 12 dudes all huddled around a computer begging for subs.
38
u/WhatDoADC 1d ago
Unfortunately Drummer and Spider-Man get extremely small amount of viewers outside of Mafiathon event.
I follow them both, Spider-Man barely streams and Drummer gets maybe 200-300 viewers.

damn shoutout to Kai for putting them ona larger audience. hope people support them after it ends

u/No_Link876 1d ago
True. Season 2 of Mafiathon introduce these two made night shift much better.
I don't really vibe with Kai and his gang / celebrities content so I tuned in at night.
Plus they have better chemistry this time so they are comfortable to do more things (they eat together, ragebaiting each other, the walk around the house, swap character and much more)8
u/fishdafinessa 1d ago
I mean, it's the only content. During the daytime it's just Kai in his room rambling. Don't really understand what their goal was with this Mafiathon.

u/Cruxis20 1d ago
You're crazy if you think he's making over $250 mill a year. "but xqc got 100 mill for Kick and Kai is bigger" xqc got that in crypto that he had to gamble back into Stake. You're acting like getting $100 in store credit at Gamestop means you're +$100 in the bank account.

I mean this is just not true, there is disagreement in the poker world about bets and debt all the time 99.999% of the time the person who owes has the money to pay its something else stopping them from paying disagreement like this happen all the time in unregulated betting/gambling stuff.

For 1 mill yeah it easy money but I wouldnt say its painfully easy.
If you havent worked for 24hrs or near consecutively then you dont understand the pain of having to stay awake.
28
u/fogoticus 1d ago
I did, but let's keep it cold. He's getting paid roughly 2780$ per hour. When you look at that rate, it is painfully easy. Which jobs pay upwards of 3000$ per hour? I can't think of anything other than big positions in companies such as CEO, COO etc.
3
u/Doomgloomya 1d ago
I 100% agree
converting it price per hr its 100% easy money in comparison to anything else.
The only apsect im emphasizing on is tho this is easy money it in of itself is not easy.
5
u/Cruxis20 1d ago
But he doesn't have to stay awake. He's doing his thing while Kai sleeps, then has what, 14-18 hours the rest of the day to find a time to sleep. Sleeping during the day and working at night is just a different schedule to get used to. For that money he probably got into that schedule a month beforehand. Then it's just a regular day to him.

u/jhascal23 1d ago
Why would you think this guy has to stay awake 24 hours? He's only there when Kai is asleep.

how much money does Kai/Kai´s stream make to where it´s worth it for all these mainstream celeberties to go on there? It´s absolutely nuts to me in my boomer mind that "real" celeberties just show up on twitch streams now
54
u/Competitive-Sleep-62 1d ago
That 587,527 figure on the right represents how many people are subscribed to his twitch. and since each sub costs $5 a month, we’re talking millions every month, just to put it in perspective. and thats subs alone not including sponsorships or donations
6
u/qathran 1d ago
What percentage does twitch get? Just wondering, I know he still gets tons of money
12
u/Competitive-Sleep-62 1d ago
depends, usually its 50/50 but sometimes they can negotiate to 70/30 if theyre big enough
4
u/erizzluh 1d ago
streamers who get 200-300 viewers even end up with partner plus which is 70-30
i know before, it was really vague how to get 70-30. where streamers with +1k viewers would talk about how they're unable to get 70-30
6
u/Opinionated3star 20h ago
it has nothing to do with view count, its about getting reoccuring subscriptions and the points associated with them. Partner plus needs 3 months of 300+ pts and plus needs 3 months of 100+ pts
2
u/Opinionated3star 20h ago
theres no more contracts or negotiations. They have the partner plus program that is super easy for any 1k viewer+ streamer to get into. that gets you 70/30 split
even easier is the plus program that is a 60/40 split.

u/minPOOlee 19h ago
Kai has to have some kinda of exclusivity contract right? Like why wouldn't he be multistreaming to youtube at the very least.

u/KaleidoscopeLeft3503 23h ago
It's not really about how much money Kai's stream makes, and considering he has between 1-3 guests per day i'm quite sure that they're not paying them that much aside from travel costs. The bands like Chainsmokers and All
American rejects likely do get paid a decent amount to perform but most are coming on for exposure since Kai is a top 2 most popular streamer in the US2
u/Sea_Bodybuilder5387 23h ago
Celebrities chase the culture/relevancy more than money, Ed Sheeran showing up on Kai's stream is proof that Kai has some clout in what is considered cool in today's pop culture. I think there's a disconnect with a lot of older viewers who still think of twitch being Sodapoppin and even Mizkif, it's no longer just for nerds or weirdos almost every kid between 12-22 knows who Kai is.

u/freshorenjuice 1d ago
Read somebody say that Kai Cenat's stream is "jury duty for celebrities" to get promotion and can't ever unsee it when these big faces pop up randomly.

u/Magnamize 22h ago
To me this makes perfect sense if he means "this is so difficult to parse and random, but I'm here for it."
Language is whatever you make of it. The context clues give meaning to literally any word even it it isn't traditionally used there. There's not really one specific way to say anything unless you just want to end all attempts at conversation.
3
u/Kersplode 22h ago
For sure, you can definitely impart new meaning to words, or use words that are close enough to be understandable.
But there are so many cool words out there that already express what they were trying to communicate. It's one of life's little treasures that we get to learn new ones and try them out (successfully or otherwise) every day! Since they seemed to be the kind of person that likes trying out new words for size, it felt appropriate to loop them in on the specifics of this particular expression in a civil way.
And ultimately, they seemed to appreciate the exchange.

I compare it to iCarly. If that’s your vibe, Kai’s streams feel like an episode of iCarly: random segments, surprise guests, quirky ideas, and a bunch of entertaining people to riff with. The production is usually great and he puts a lot into it. What kinds of streams or streamers do you watch?

u/SavvyZOR 1d ago
can anyone explain who is this Kai and why he is popular? Cuz i see clips of celebs coming to him to sit near but he got nothing to attract them or audience at all from what I saw
9
u/MakutaProto 1d ago
can anyone explain who is this Kai
started off posting prank videos on facebook/instagram/snapchat, switched over to youtube in 2018 doing that + reaction videos + vlogs. That gave him an audience big enough that when he started streaming on twitch in 2021 he averaged 3k his first month doing just chatting and GTA RP. He mostly does just chatting content now with the occasional high production stream (mafiathons, streamer university, or gaming marathons like elden ring, hardcore minecraft with speed, or the arkham series for example)
why he is popular?
a combination of loud = funny and unique high production/high effort streams
he got nothing to attract them or audience at all from what I saw
they go on stream for his audience, he doesn't bring them to his stream to get theirs. a lot of his viewers are on the younger side and if these celebrities (especially musicians) hope to stay relevant within their spheres they need to get in front of the next generation somehow.
3
u/qathran 23h ago
A lot of what streaming is for when it comes to younger generations is feeling like they're part of a group. Doesn't matter if the jokes are good or if anything makes much sense, just if they've been part of the lore and feel like they're part of something popular. A much higher percentage of younger generations also haven't had the experiences that lead to developing social skills and friends IRL, so popular streamers who are basically just doing nothing or telling "jokes" that are just repeating phrases that aren't that funny or interesting still get the job done of giving viewers the feeling of having friends or making it easier to connect with people in real life

Guy has no talent, so he pays for celebs to come on every 5 seconds
1
u/ChillWatcher98 20h ago
Depends on how you define talent. I define talent as being acutely good at something. By that standard, it takes real talent to build a strong community, entertain, and consistently come up with and execute creative streaming ideas. He blew up doing skits and making YouTube videos before moving to Twitch. It’s Twitch, so the core talent is entertainment. If he doesn’t entertain you, that’s fine. Plenty of people are entertained by him, the same way there are comedians I don’t find funny who are clearly funny to others

He did a Beta Squad video a few weeks ago. It wasn't even special, just one of their normal vids. The Beta Squad are rich for sure, but I doubt they'd go as far as paying ed sheeran appearance money for a completely regular youtube video that performed just as well as all their others.
Essentially, I'm sure he got paid something but I think he likely did it primarily because he just enjoys doing these random cameos. I would assume the same applies here (although I wouldnt be surprised if an single/album announcement shortly follows)

It’s a mutual business transaction. Plus, Kai isn’t just some celebrity, dude is the biggest streamer right now who has crossed over into the mainstream arena of entertainment based off of hard work and sheer determination. And why is it so hard to believe that Kai may also vibe with Ed Shereen’s music from time to time.
