Twitch streamer’s “Mafiathon 3” haircut plan sparks emotional plea from his mother, prompting viral reaction.
The backstory
During his high-stakes “Mafiathon 3,” an ambitious 30-day Twitch stream, Kai Cenat announced he would cut his signature dreadlocks if he reached one million new subscribers. The dare was originally proposed by actor Michael B. Jordan in the Mafiathon trailer and put Cenat’s personal style directly on the line. As the event progressed, an ongoing joke emerged among fans, suggesting that without his dreadlocks, Cenat would end up resembling Sean “Diddy” Combs.
The call that went viral
On Day 3 of the stream, Cenat received a phone call from his mother, who became emotional at the thought of him going through with the haircut. During the live conversation, she pleaded, “my heart is bleeding,” at the idea of him cutting his “big, long locks”. The call quickly spiraled into a viral moment when she brought up the fan comparison. In the clip, Cenat’s mother expresses concern that if he cuts his hair, he will look like Diddy, which prompted an amused and dramatic reaction from Cenat.
