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.

Did Rebel Kid aka Apoorva Mukhija's ex-boyfriend, just drop a ‘cute little red flag' song for her? Song accuses of lies and cheating
Known online as Rebel Kid, Apoorva Mukhija has been trending for reasons beyond her viral videos. After Sufi Motiwala hinted at their friendship ending, her ex-boyfriend, Utsav Dahiya, has now fired back with a cryptic but sharp message. What did Utsav Dahiya post online? On Sunday, Utsav uploaded a song titled Cute Little Red Flag on Instagram, a phrase Apoorva often uses in her content. Alongside, he penned a long note accusing her of spreading lies, twisting narratives, and portraying him as toxic. He claimed, 'I dodged a bullet,' alleging that he even caught her cheating. One of the biting lyrics went: 'Pucha maine ghatiya kyun bola mujhe duniya ke liye, kehti baby yeh toh sab dhandha hai mere liye.' Watch video View this post on Instagram A post shared by Utsav Dahiya (@utsavdahiya) Did he threaten to share receipts? Yes. In his caption, Utsav wrote, 'Ab agar koi aur bakwaas kari toh main seedha receipts nikalunga.' He accused Apoorva of using her large following to rage-bait audiences and bully others. He further said he once contacted Apoorva's agency to clarify his name, but was dismissed with, 'You're a nobody, be glad you dated her.' His reply: 'Numbers only matter on an app. Truth stands without followers.' He ended with another jab, 'Toh tum chalao apna ghar kalesh se, but stop spreading lies about others. Let people do some real work in their lives. Grow up, kid.' How did the internet react? On Reddit, many praised Utsav's 'revenge through art'. One user joked, 'Utsav toh Taylor Swift nikla.' Another wrote, 'Turning trauma into music is classy revenge.' Several netizens felt he had been wronged and finally took a stand. What was Apoorva's past stand? Back in January last year, Apoorva publicly confirmed her breakup with Utsav, hinting that he was abusive and 'ghatiya'. She told fans she would reveal her next partner 'only at the wedding'. Since then, her breakup tales have become part of her storytime content. At the heart of it, what looks like just another social media spat has now turned into music, memes, and a very public blame game — one that the internet is eagerly watching.
