Kai Cenat Mafiathon 2 livestream updates: KaiCarly, Twitch ban, swatting & more

Kai Cenat is looking to reclaim the throne. Mafiathon 2 is now underway as the Twitch superstar looks to get the record back for the platform’s all-time concurrent subscriber peak.

While he was dethroned from the top spot in October 2024, as VTuber IronMouse took the top spot, Cenat quickly announced his plans to strike back. Mafiathon 2 was announced on October 30 with plans to broadcast live through the month of November, 2024.

Now that the stream is underway, there’s plenty happening including celebrity appearances and all sorts of wild shenanigans. So read on to keep on top of all the latest antics as the marathon stream continues.

How long has Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon 2 been going?

Mafiathon 2 is currently in the midst of Day 5, with Cenat having been live for over 50 straight hours already. The marathon stream has racked up over 200,000 Twitch subs thus far, with more constantly streaming in.

Kai Cenat’s ultimate goal with this subathon is to overtake Ironmouse’s all-time Twitch sub record to regain his place as the must-subscribed Twitch streamer.

Kai Cenat gets swatted and surrounded by police

The start of Mafiathon 2 was marred by a swatting incident. Just one day into the broadcast, Cenat was swatted and subsequently banned on Twitch.

Cameras showed helicopters circling his home as police rushed in to investigate a call.

Moments after sharing footage of the police helicopter circling his location, Cenat’s account was struck off Twitch. The streaming platform banned him in the middle of Mafiathon 2 due to the swatting incident, though the punishment was quickly overturned.

While it did interrupt the continuous broadcast, Cenat was back in front of the cameras in no time.

He soon crossed the 140K sub mark when he returned to Twitch, as viewers were clearly supportive of his return. However, as a result of the ban, the VOD from the first day of the broadcast is no longer available, at least not directly on Twitch.

Miles Morales NPC drops by

Retiring to bed at the end of Day 1, Cenat enlisted the help of TikTok star Miles Morales NPC to shout out subscribers while he got some shuteye, but not before the pair performed an NPC exchange.

Day 1 of the event also saw actor Miranda Cosgrove make a guest appearance in a segment dubbed KaiCarly, ushered in with its own bespoke opening sequence riffing on late ’90s and early noughties Disney Channel shows.

Streaming for charity

On November 1, Cenat announced that 20% of all revenue generated by the event would be going to charity. Specifically, the funds will be going toward building a school in Makoko, an informal settlement on the coast of Lagos, Nigeria.

“We will be going out-of-pocket funding this entire project with a full staff, classrooms, uniforms, etc. 20% of November, starting tomorrow,” Cenat said at the time.

Snoop Dogg checks in

A few weeks after linking up at the VMAs, Snoop Dogg and Cenat look to be planning something proper on stream. Snoop called the Twitch star on Day 2 of the broadcast, teasing his next album and ways to promote it.

One idea is to recreate the magic of the Kevin Hart sleepover stream. If it comes to fruition, Snoop and Cenat could be live on Twitch together in December.

A live wedding

Keeping up the antics, Cenat hosted a ‘wedding’ of sorts on Day 2 of the stream, officiating as more than 100,000 fans watched on live. Obviously not a legitimate marriage, things soon got out of hand as the ‘groom’ confessed his ‘love’ for someone other than the bride.

Snoop Dogg gives Kai Cenat a tour of his LA compound

After his phone call with Snoop, the rapper invited him to check out his expansive Los Angeles compound on Day 4 of his stream. The massive building included a recording booth, a huge green screen set, a basketball court, a casino, and even a full arcade.

The two stars went on to plan out future content together, saying they’d like to have a sleepover stream in the style of Kai’s famous sleepover broadcast with actor and comedian Kevin Hart.

Kodak Black sparks speculation on Mafiathon Day 4

That’s not all; Kai had another special guest on Day 4 of his stream as rapper Kodak Black joined him for a chaotic broadcast that left viewers speculating if the artist hadn’t taken drugs while they were live.

Kodak’s erratic behavior sparked rumors across social media that he was under the influence – but at the time of publication, nothing has been confirmed, and Kai has not addressed the matter publicly.

GloRilla hops on stream

The next celebrity to join in with Kai’s antics was rapper GloRilla. And she happened to stop by at a milestone moment in the marathon stream. Just a few hours into Day 5, Mafiathon 2 hit the 200,000 Twitch sub target.

This put Kai 126,000 more subs away from making history once again, with three full weeks left in November for the stream to continue.

Halle Bailey speaks out after DDG brings baby Halo on stream

On November 6, rapper DDG appeared as a guest on Kai Cenat’s stream, bringing with him baby Halo, his son with Little Mermaid star Halle Bailey.

However, it seems that Bailey found out her son was on Kai’s stream at the same time as everyone else, saying she did not approve of the situation and had no idea he would be broadcast in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers.

“I wasn’t told or notified and I am extremely upset to have my baby in front of millions of people,” Bailey said in a now-deleted tweet. “I am his mother and protector and saddened that I wasn’t notified, especially when I am out of town.”

DDG eventually took their son off-stream, but the incident sparked a tidal wave of backlash against Bailey from fans who felt she was unfairly punishing Halo’s father.

The next day, Bailey published a tweet claiming she had “overreacted” to the situation and thanked Kai for the gifts he’d bought for Halo.

“Yesterday, maybe I did overreact and shouldn’t have brought it here,” she wrote. “I know that Halo is always safe with his dad. I just don’t like finding out with the rest of the world what my baby is doing. Thank you Kai for the gifts for Halo.”

For now, that’s all the latest with Mafiathon 2. But as the stream is still just in its early days, with plenty more planned for the coming weeks, be sure to check back often as we’ll keep you posted on all the crazy highlights.
