Twitch streamer Kai Cenat made a significant donation to assist with medical bills for the brother of young hip-hop artist Lil RT, who was injured in a shooting.
On Christmas Eve, Kai was “babysitting” 10-year-old rapper Lil RT during his live stream.
The two had collaborated previously in November 2023, which attracted some criticism after they performed lyrics that some found offensive.
This time, the stream was different, and there was no controversy.
Near the end, Kai had to remind Lil RT not to use inappropriate language, but the mood remained mostly positive.
Kai donated $16,000 to support Lil RT’s brother, who sustained severe injuries in a shooting back in November.
The GoFundMe page provided background on the situation, noting that on November 4, 2024, Ba-Kari Thomas, also known as 345Ba-Kari, was seriously injured in a shooting.
He has been fighting for his life and has undergone numerous medical treatments, including five surgeries and over 60 blood transfusions.
Kai read the details from the GoFundMe page and then told Lil RT how fortunate his brother is to be alive.
Kai reassured him, stating he would cover all the hospital expenses with a $16,000 donation.
Kai also encouraged Lil RT to let his brother know that they planned to visit him soon. The family’s GoFundMe campaign has raised its target to $40,000, as the latest updates indicate that Ba-Kari is still on a breathing machine and is struggling to breathe independently, highlighting the long road to recovery ahead.
Additionally, the GoFundMe page mentioned that Ba-Kari’s family had to relocate due to ongoing vandalism at their previous home. Contributions from supporters have been crucial in ensuring that Ba-Kari’s family can find a safe and suitable place for his recovery.
Throughout 2024, Kai Cenat has been recognized for making several generous donations, but the most significant was towards building a school in Nigeria. He achieved this by donating 20% of the revenue generated from his highly successful Mafiathon 2 subathon.
