Kai Cenat Achieves Twitch Milestone with 500,000 Subscribers

The Race to Recovery
On November 1, Kai launched the Mafiathon 2 and swiftly shattered Ironmouse’s newfound record, achieving 400,000 subscriptions by November 16. This remarkable pace set the stage for his ultimate goal of hitting one million subscribers by month’s end.
