Kai Cenat has been making waves in the streaming world, reclaiming his title as the most-subscribed Twitch streamer after breaking Ironmouse's record.
As part of his latest stunt, Cenat launched a $100,000 giveaway challenge, offering fans a hefty prize for the first person to find him in Los Angeles.
The excitement surrounding the giveaway was palpable, especially after Cenat invited icons like Bill Nye and teased future collaborations with Kevin Hart.
However, what seemed like an exciting, high-stakes competition has now sparked a controversy that has left many wondering if it was all a setup.
The winner of the giveaway, a fan named Ljay Currie, was announced after fans watched the race to find Cenat unfold. But as soon as Currie’s identity came to light, speculation began to swirl.

Fans quickly uncovered that Ljay Currie is not just an ordinary fan—he’s a producer for none other than Drake and has been romantically linked to Australian rapper Iggy Azalea. This revelation raised eyebrows, with some viewers questioning whether the contest was rigged from the start.
The crux of the allegations lies in the idea that the giveaway might have been stacked in favor of someone already well-connected and wealthy.
Fans began accusing Cenat of orchestrating the challenge in a way that favored the rich and famous, pointing out that Currie’s celebrity connections made him an unlikely, but convenient winner.
Some critics argued that the contest seemed unfair, given that the winner wasn't an unknown fan but someone who could afford to use their connections to find Cenat faster than the average participant.
However, there were those who rushed to Cenat’s defense. Supporters of the streamer insisted that just because Currie was a well-known figure, it didn’t necessarily mean the contest was rigged.
“Kai never said the first person to find him had to be unknown,” they pointed out. “He said it would be whoever found him first, and that’s what happened.”
Others claimed that the rules were clear from the start, and the contest was open to anyone, famous or not. They dismissed the scam allegations as baseless and unsubstantiated.
As of now, Kai Cenat has not commented publicly on the accusations surrounding the giveaway, leaving fans to wonder if the controversy will affect his online reputation. With no concrete evidence proving the giveaway was anything but legitimate, the debate continues to divide his fanbase.
