The Streamer Awards this year led to a scandal on Twitch. The rant of a 17-year-old is now causing discussions.
Who is it about? 2xRaKai is an American streamer from the circle of Kai Cenat, who established himself as the biggest streamer on Twitch in 2023 and has held the title since. His content mainly consists of Just Chatting and IRL streams, where he entertains his viewers with jokes and his energetic personality.
Currently, the 17-year-old is embroiled in a controversy.
To make it big on Twitch, usually hard work and a good portion of luck are needed. However, going viral with crazy actions has proven to be an effective means:
Question at the Streamer Awards causes scandal
What is the current situation? RaKai has been suspended from Twitch since December 3, 2025, after he streamed himself allegedly stealing flowers from Walmart, an American retail chain.
Although strict rules normally apply for suspended streamers, an exception was made for RaKai so that he could participate in the Streamer Awards 2025. At the annual event of streamer QTCinderella, content creators are recognized and celebrate themselves. RaKai received a nomination for “Best Breakout Streamer”, for content creators who have experienced particularly strong growth this year.
However, the event sparked controversy when QTCinderella asked the 17-year-old during an interactive segment what the “coolest thing” he ever stole was. The streamer continued: “Don’t answer that! It’s a test. It’s a test, RaKai! Haven’t you learned anything from this?” She also urged to take the microphone away from him.
Some viewers initially found the joke to be racist, especially since the background was likely not known to everyone. Streamer ExtraEmily faced criticism in the spring after she ran a red light. She was questioned by QTCinderella about the speed limit in a school zone.
Streamer insults organizer, claims he only understood the implication later
This is what happened next: While RaKai took the jab at the event with a somewhat embarrassed smile, he later publicly expressed his frustration with the awards in a stream on his YouTube channel. He referred to the award ceremony as rigged, claiming he should have actually won. This is a common criticism of the event.
In another clip, the streamer unleashed a tirade against QTCinderella. He said he actually wanted to respond to her at the award ceremony: “Bitch, what’s the coolest dick you’ve ever sucked? You ugly bitch.” The statement was accompanied by explicit gestures.
However, he calmed down, RaKai explained. The 17-year-old stated that he had not really understood why she said something like that all along. Now he realized that she was referring to his current ban for shoplifting.
He also claimed that he did not actually steal the flowers. It just wasn’t evident in the stream how he clarified the situation.

The clip in which RaKai disparages QTCinderella landed on r/LivestreamFail, the largest streaming community on Reddit, where it was heatedly discussed. Some viewers are reminded of a young IShowSpeed, who also used to stand out with sexist remarks, but has since become an internationally known superstar among streamers.
Many also agree that RaKai is too young and immature to have such a large platform on Twitch. He is not a good role model for his young viewers. Others criticize KaiCenat, who is said to have been involved in helping the young man gain fame and is allegedly allowing him to live in his content house.
The German equivalent, the StreamAwards from Reved, took place this year without any major scandal. However, there was a surprise appearance by the organizer Reved, which gives fans hope: Two years ago, she said goodbye to Twitch, now the biggest German streamer hints at a comeback
