With a previous record high active sub count of 74,900 subscriptions, KaiCenat's stream quickly exploded, achieving nearly 10,000 Twitch subs before the day was out. Shortly after attaining his monumental victory, KaiCenat broke down with tears of joy in an emotional call with his mother.

"Congratulations, Kai. You're number 1! I was sleeping and kept hearing my notifications, but when I looked, you were at 79 [thousand], and I'm so happy for you, baby! You work so hard, and you deserve this so much," KaiCenat's mom said over the phone.

She continued to express her love for Kai, noting how proud she was of him. "I love you so much. Babe, I'm so proud of you, and you're number 1! And you're MY son! I'm so happy to be your mom," she added.

KaiCenat was visibly emotional during the call, tearing up as his mom vouched for his grinding and hard work. "My son worked hard. He's a grinder. Every day, every night. And he gives me the world. I want the world to know I love you so much, son."

Several more of KaiCenat's fans took to Reddit to also congratulate him, with many expressing how incredible it was watching his Twitch sub count grow seemingly exponentially.

"For a while, I thought the hype was over. He was hovering around 73k subs for a while after jumping from 40k to 70k in a month. Then I go to work and come back with 10k subs in 2 days," wrote one Reddit user.

KaiCenat's achievement will undoubtedly be one for the history books, and we look forward to watching him continue growing. Congratulations on your monumental achievement, Kai!
