Kai Cenat just dropped a tweet saying nothing more than “No accountability” it shows Twitch CEO Dan Clancy walking up to him at the Streamer Awards and pressing him about some controversial comments.
The whole thing started when Clancy made remarks about a hypothetical streamer Mount Rushmore. According to what’s circulating, Clancy suggested that Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed don’t belong on that list.
But here’s where it gets messy. Kai’s not just upset about being left off some imaginary monument. His beef is that Clancy allegedly said one thing to his face, then said something completely different later, and wouldn’t own up to the inconsistency when confronted.
The Streamer Awards gave Kai his chance. With cameras rolling, he approached Clancy directly about the comments. The video packages the confrontation as evidence of what Kai sees as a CEO not being straight with him.
Clancy’s defense, from what can be gathered, centers on how you define “Mount Rushmore.” He argues it should represent the pioneers—the streamers who built Twitch and live-streaming culture from the ground up. Think early Justin.tv era creators who were streaming before it was mainstream.
By that logic, Kai and Speed—while undeniably massive now—came up after streaming was already established by streamers like Sodapoppin. They’re current superstars, not foundation-builders. Clancy positioned this as a distinction between legacy and current popularity.
Kai is one of Twitch’s biggest draws right now. His high-energy streams, celebrity guests, and event-style broadcasts pull massive numbers. He’s part of the AMP creator collective and represents the modern wave of streamers who treat broadcasts like TV shows.
IShowSpeed, meanwhile, is primarily a YouTube streamer known for his intense personality and global IRL content. He’s got a huge youth following and regularly goes viral, though his main platform isn’t Twitch—which makes the whole “Twitch Mount Rushmore” debate even more complicated.
