Then, he also shared the story of how he met Kai at TwitchCon. “And then six months later when we released juvee to the public, little did we know Kai Cenat would just keep getting bigger and bigger, and now he’s one of the biggest creators in the world. So, I completely whiffed on that. And then we were at Twitchcon and I heard a voice calling out ‘Nade.’ It was Kai sitting with all his boys and family. Then, I told him the same story and said we have to work together sometime man. Obviously, you’re a lot more expensive now, and deserving so.”
