Kai Cenat has stirred up controversy after livestreaming himself driving a car with his seatbelt not fastened correctly.
During the stream, Cenat was seen adjusting his seatbelt to hang loosely to the side rather than securing it properly across his body, while the car’s warning system continuously beeped in the background.
The footage quickly spread online, with viewers sharing serious concerns about both the safety and the message being sent to his predominantly young audience. Many pointed out that Cenat wasn’t just breaking traffic laws but potentially putting himself in serious danger.
“My dad would still be alive if he wore his seatbelt,” wrote one concerned viewer, highlighting the real-world consequences of what some might dismiss as a minor infraction. Others emphasized that unsecured passengers become “human projectiles” during crashes, endangering everyone in the vehicle.
People are now questioning streamer responsibility when broadcasting potentially dangerous behavior. Platforms like Twitch have community guidelines prohibiting self-destructive behavior, and similar incidents have resulted in temporary bans for other content creators.
Beyond platform penalties, Cenat could face legal consequences depending on local regulations. Most jurisdictions require seatbelts to be worn properly, and the video evidence could potentially lead to citations.
It’s a reminder of the ongoing need for responsible behavior from influencers with massive followings. While viewers tune in for Cenat’s entertaining personality, many draw the line at normalizing dangerous driving habits.
