RaKai banned from Twitch after viral reckless driving livestream
Twitch streamer 2xRaKai, a known associate of Kai Cenat, has been banned from the platform following backlash over a viral video showing him texting while driving during a livestream.

RaKai has been banned on Twitch after streaming himself recklessly driving. — FearBuck (@FearedBuck) June 16, 2025 Just a day later, on June 16, the automated account @StreamerBans confirmed RaKai's second suspension from the Amazon-owned platform. Attempts to access his channel now display a message citing violations of Twitch's Terms of Service or community guidelines. The circulating clip has intensified scrutiny over Twitch's enforcement of real-life conduct during streams. RaKai acknowledged the situation during a Just Chatting broadcast hours before the ban was made official. He explained he couldn't go live because Twitch had launched an investigation. In the clip, he remarked: 'I thought I was over… I wasn't able to stream yesterday because they needed to do an investigation or some bulls**t.' Public reaction on platforms like Reddit and X has been swift. One user on r/LivestreamFail questioned the platform's delay in taking action, while others criticized RaKai's behavior. Meanwhile, some speculated whether Kai Cenat might intervene on his friend's behalf. As of writing, RaKai has not issued a formal statement regarding his suspension. His Twitch channel remains suspended, and the platform has not commented on the duration of the ban.

Twitch bans Kai Cenat's friend RaKai after his reckless driving stream goes viral on social media
(Image via X/@clippedszn) 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. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like ¿Padece una enfermedad renal crónica (ERC)? Trialbee Más información Undo 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.' Rakai Receives Backlash For Reckless Driving Underage | Should Rakai Be Banned From Twitch ? 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.
