Starting on November 1, Kai Cenat has begun another subathon with the goal of surpassing Ironmouse's world record of most Twitch subscribers. Already on the eleventh day, Kai Cenat managed to break the record of 326,252 subscribers, but he decided to keep going.

Kai Cenat's stream-sniping competition

On the 25th day, Kai Cenat invited famous YouTuber and streamer Ludwig to join him on his stream, but with a unique twist. While previously, he had chatted and done challenges with several other celebrities, this time was a bit different.

Fans were a bit confused when they tuned into the stream and saw the camera zoomed in extremely close to Kai Cenat's face – they could only really see his mouth and nose. But Kai Cenat quickly explained.

"Find me and win $100,000. The camera widens every single time that there is a 1,000 subs that come in."

said Kai Cenat, and Ludwig added:

"So whoever the first person in the world, no matter when – doesn't matter if this takes us five minutes, if it takes us five hours, if it takes us five days – we're here 'til somebody comes to us in real life, in person, and we will hand them a hundred-thousand dollars."

In the end, it only took a little over two hours for someone to find them and claim the massive prize.

That person happened to be quite the famous individual as well, Ljay Currie, a music producer who has worked together on tracks with big names like Drake, Iggy Azalea, and many more.

When asked about how he found Kai Cenat and Ludwig so quickly, he explained how he and his friends split up and drove through all of Los Angeles.

"One of my homies went to Santa Monica, one went to the observatory, I had one in West Hollywood."

He himself drove around for about 40 minutes until he stumbled upon a building with a big production on top of it. Curious and with nothing to lose, he went and checked it out.

Both Currie and Kai Cenat were shocked that this challenge found its end so quickly, but it was obvious that they were extremely excited as well.

A few other fans found the location only a few minutes after, but Ludwig and Kai Cenat suggested they leave quickly to avoid causing a public disturbance with all the fans that would soon start crowding the place.

With a hug and the giant price check, Kai Cenat sent Currie off and flew off with a helicopter saying "We don't want an NYC 2," referring to a previous incident that ended in a riot.

Do you wish you could have gotten that price money? Are you happy for Ljay Currie? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!
