Social media divided after streamer Rakai goes viral for reading The Cat in the Hat live, a moment he said was inspired by Kai Cenat’s recent focus on personal growth.

Kai Cenat recently spoke openly about needing to prioritize his mental health and personal development. The streamer said he had stepped away from streaming to focus on new creative pursuits, including launching a fashion brand.
He also documented adopting new habits, such as taking sewing classes and reading daily, to improve his public speaking. In a series of YouTube videos, Kai reads aloud, looks up unknown words, and tracks his progress, a move that even earned him praise from Merriam-Webster online.
Inspired by Kai’s journey, Rakai, his 17-year-old streamer protégé, went live on Thursday and told viewers he plans to start each stream with a reading to improve his speech. He then pulled out the Dr. Seuss one. The Cat in the Hat and read it aloud to her chat. The moment quickly circulated online, with social media users divided over whether Rakai was supporting or mocking Kai’s self-improvement efforts.
