Twitch streamer Asmongold has commented on the well-known disagreement between Ninja and Kai Cenat, saying that Ninja appears to be a “bad loser.”
In May 2024, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins stirred up some drama with Kai Cenat after making a remark about Kai’s popular Elden Ring marathon. Many viewers thought Ninja’s comments had a bitter tone.
Ninja mentioned, “He does what I could have done if I’d just stayed home and streamed.”
He went on to say that he didn’t join Mixer and that he has been working hard to create unique and engaging streams.
Viewers viewed these comments as “backhanded.”
Kai himself responded to Ninja’s comments after Ninja said something similar about his own record-breaking stream with celebrity Kevin Hart weeks later.
Kai pointed out that Ninja often starts with a “Congrats to him, but….”
This frustrated Kai as he admired Ninja and believed that streamers all have their unique paths and times for success.
Later on, Ninja made further remarks about Kai, suggesting that Kai did not actually want to win during his Minecraft marathon.
Ninja claimed that Kai was losing intentionally to keep his viewers entertained.
In September 2024, during one of his live streams, Asmongold shared his thoughts on the situation. He admitted that Ninja seems to struggle with competition. According to Asmongold, Ninja appears to react strongly when others succeed at things he has done.
Asmongold remarked, “Ninja seems to be a bad loser. Because of this, people tend to provoke him into giving reactions when someone achieves something that makes him feel left out.” He stressed that Ninja should learn to take these situations less seriously.
Asmongold suggested that the key to enjoying streaming is to not get overly serious. He explained, “You lose when you begin to take things too seriously. It’s important to just have fun, take your time, and enjoy the experience.” This perspective could help make the competitive landscape healthier for everyone involved.
Moreover, Asmongold expressed admiration for Kai Cenat, acknowledging that his success comes from his vibrant energy and ability to bring fresh content to his viewers. Whether through unique gaming marathons, celebrity collaborations, or challenging tasks, Kai always manages to keep his audience entertained.
Meanwhile, Kai has reacted lightheartedly to the ongoing tension. He even organized a playful moment where his friends chanted offensive phrases about Ninja during a staged press conference, laughing off the conflict and showing that he can take things in stride.
