Kai Cenat was left furious as a magician's prank went horribly wrong on his livestream, which ultimately left him distraught and potentially facing the prospect of a Twitch ban.
Earlier on Wednesday (November 27), a clip from the streamer's recent vod went viral after it appeared to show him 'hanging' a person during his ongoing 'Mafiathon 2 Subathon'.
"What the f**k? Wait, no, no! I'm not getting banned! N***a, I might get banned! Is he good? I'll stay here. I'll stay here! Can I stay here?" Cenat said as he instructed the cameraman not to film.
YouTuber and magician Max Major was later revealed as the person to be hung by the noose, with the actions on stream said to be part of a planned performance.

A video shared by Major has since lifted the lid on the situation as many online became concerned for the magician's welfare.
He said: "What you don't know is that was all according to my plan. See, at the start of my performance, I said that tonight was all about choices. But not just the choices that you made tonight, but the choices that you made since the day that we met. Since the first time we met, you pushed me, you challenged me, and you wanted to see me fail. And I thought tonight, I'll give you exactly what you asked for."
"You see, you thought the game was for me to influence you to make the right choice. But all along, I plan to influence you to make the wrong choice, and I knew you'd pick the red handle."

The viral stunt has taken over much of the internet, including the likes of Twitter and Reddit in recent hours.
And while it has got many people talking about Cenat's livestream, the Twitch streamer is not happy with the magician's actions and is now concerned about a potential ban from Twitch.
Cenat said: "Let 'em go! He wants n****s to look... we just look like Black people that look crazy. That's what they want the things to look like. It ain't worth it, bro. Us screaming at him, we just look like a whole bunch of Black n****s that look crazy. So, let god handle that, bro."

Max Major is yet to comment on the controversy surrounding the stunt, though Cenat has since claimed to have received a text message from Major, who described himself as the 'bad guy'.
"Max just texted my... please, listen up, chat. Max just texted my team saying, 'It's Max, I don't have my phone, I think we have everyone leave, and we let the story be what it is. I'm the bad guy, but coming back, it doesn't change anything.' Let the story be what it is, what do you mean?! This is selfish! That is selfish!" Cenat said on stream.
UNILAD has reached out to Max Major for comment.
