Kai Cenat goes viral for Diddy resemblance amid Adin Ross leaked message controversy
Twitch streamer Kai Cenat has returned to social media with a new look that’s taking the internet by storm. After a month-long break following his September “Mafiathon” stream, Cenat surprised fans on November 2, 2025, by debuting a clean fade haircut — officially saying goodbye to his iconic dreadlocks.
The creator shared his comeback photo on X (formerly Twitter), posing at a dimly lit restaurant with a calm, confident expression. The image, posted without a caption, quickly went viral, amassing over 28 million views and sparking widespread discussion. Instead of focusing solely on his return, many fans drew comparisons between Cenat and a young Sean “Diddy” Combs, joking that the streamer looks like the hip-hop mogul’s “secret son.”

Social media platforms flooded with side-by-side images of Cenat and Diddy, with users pointing out the uncanny resemblance. One viral post read, “I’ve been saying this for years: Kai Cenat is secretly Diddy’s son.” Another joked, “Diddy broke out of prison and swapped places with Kai Cenat.”

The viral buzz comes amid Cenat’s ongoing feud with Adin Ross, who is embroiled in controversy after alleged leaked messages suggested he paid a Kick user known as KickChamp to spread hate toward Cenat.
Ross has denied the accusations, claiming on a livestream that his account was hacked and that the leaked screenshots were fabricated. He added that the payment mentioned in the messages was linked to unrelated content deals, not harassment campaigns against Cenat.
Although Ross insisted that he and Kai had spoken privately to clear the air, fans remain skeptical. The two have not collaborated publicly in months, and Ross’s name is reportedly banned from Cenat’s Twitch chat, suggesting their friendship may have quietly dissolved.
