Kai Cenat has received major support from NBA All-Star Kyrie Irving as he sparred a few statements about the streamer’s recent Twitch ban. Boston Celtics’ Kyrie Irving has shared a meaningful friendship with Kai Cenat for quite some time. The duo has featured in multiple Twitch streams along with other creators on the side. But majorly, fans adore their friendship based on one of Kai’s vlogs, where he bought an entire setup for the Celtics’ point guard. From a high-ranking CPU to the best monitor, Cenat went all out with his mom’s credit card. That took him to places as he embarked on a new journey of friendship with Kyrie. 

And now, with the recent ban on Twitch, Irving has sparred a few words to the platform in regards to his close aide and also on the account of his return on Twitch. Notably, Cenat is also friends with Adin Ross.
