Popular gamer and streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins recently had some controversial words about Twitch stars Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed’s marathon Minecraft stream. The pair had just concluded a grueling 105-hour Hardcore Minecraft marathon that got more than a hundred thousand viewers throughout its duration.
He claimed that the duo deliberately slowed their progress to maximize entertainment value and viewer engagement. His remarks have sparked mixed reactions, with some accusing him of jealousy, while others believe he was merely acknowledging the strategy behind Kai and Speed’s marathon stream.
During a recent Twitch stream, Ninja discussed Kai Cenat and Speed’s 100-hour Minecraft marathon with his brother. The two shared their thoughts on the marathon which got a massive audience. His brother mentioned that Kai and Speed’s progress was slower than usual. The streamer responded by saying that the duo was intentionally prolonging the stream to keep their viewers hooked,
They’re doing it for pure entertainment, bro.
These remarks quickly went viral, with fans and commentators weighing in. On X (formerly Twitter), users noted how he often has something to say about Kai.
Some users interpreted these words as jealousy, pointing out that Kai and Speed were consistently attracting viewership numbers that most streamers would envy.
This incident is not the first time he has been at odds with Kai. Earlier in June 2024, Ninja’s record for the most-viewed Twitch stream was broken by Kai during a collaboration with Kevin Hart and Druski. When informed by his viewers, his response asking if he was “supposed to be offended,” was seen by many as salty.
Kai and Speed continue to be on top of the streaming world. Their recent Minecraft marathon is just one of many successful collaborations. From their repeated failures to the hilarious incident where they showered together on stream, the duo kept their audience entertained throughout.
Their antics, combined with the high stakes of hardcore Minecraft, made it peak entertainment. And it’s no wonder that the stream attracted such a massive audience. The duo’s ability to engage their audience through humor, challenges, and sheer personality has made them fan favorites.
As a veteran of the industry, Ninja has seen his influence wane as new stars like Kai and Speed rise to prominence. Whether these words are driven by jealousy, genuine concern, or a mix of both, they show the tension that can be there between celebrities.
As for Kai and Speed, their ability to turn a simple Minecraft marathon into a global event speaks to their undeniable influence and talent, regardless of anyone else’s opinions.
