RaKai, a close friend of popular streamer Kai Cenat, has explained why Twitch suspended his channel for 30 days. The 17 year old said the ban likely happened after he showed a phone number that Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball had shared with him in a private message. RaKai spoke about the situation during a YouTube livestream titled “BANNED ON TWITCH” on March 15, 2026. About five minutes into the stream, he told viewers that Twitch said he violated a rule about sharing personal information.
The problem goes back to a March 10, 2026 “Just Chatting” stream, where RaKai was trying to contact different celebrities for possible collaborations. During the broadcast, he showed messages between himself and LaMelo Ball. In the messages, the NBA player had sent him a phone number. RaKai said Twitch later suspended his account for 30 days. He also revealed that the platform warned him another violation could lead to a permanent ban from Twitch.
