KAI Cenat has become an online sensation, leaving fans in stitches with his hilarious prank videos and vlogs.

Who is Kai Cenat?
Born in New York on December 16, 2001, to a Haitian father and Trinidadian mother, Kai began posting on social media during his school days.
His dream was to be a comedian or a professional dancer.
He posted short comedy skits on Facebook and Instagram, much to the amusement of his classmates at Frederick Douglass High School, where he graduated in 2019.
He briefly attended Morrisville State College, but dropped out to focus on streaming.
At some point, he became known as Kai Cenat III, adding the "III" on account of being his mother's third child, rather than the more traditional reason of being the third child named Kai in the Cenat family.
He has an older brother, twin sister and younger brother.
