“I wanted to articulate myself better”: Kai Cenat explained why he started reading books every day
Like the rest of us, it seems that Kai Cenat has a few New Year's resolutions.
While he's known for his high-octane streams with dozens of famous faces, the 24-year-old seems to be hankering for a slightly slower pace of life in 2026.
Kai Cenat inspires others to read more
In a now-viral video, Cenat went into detail about how he's trying to read more. "Honestly... The reason why I started reading was because I didn't like the way I spoke," he revealed.
He shared, "To be honest, I wanted to articulate myself better, and I noticed when I got into arguments, and I had to get a point across, people were not taking me seriously at all, at serious moments, and I would have anxiety build up, and then I would stutter my words, and I'd not know what happened."
"So hopefully, me reading—and I also have been writing as well—helps improve the way I articulate myself," he added.
"Also another reason why I want to read more, because I feel like as I am making my venture into clothing, I feel like when people have to ask me questions about the garments that I end up releasing, I should be able to articulate myself perfectly and explain what is going on and my thought process behind each garment and the inspiration. So, yeah, that's really why. I don't know if it's gonna work. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't."
Has Kai Cenat quit livestreaming?
Meanwhile, Cenat has been tracking his reading process on a secret YouTube channel called Kai's Mind. He would upload videos with titles like the following: "Reading for 10 mins to help me speak better part 16 *1/7/26*."
Other videos on the account feature him working out and learning to sew.
In a Jan 13 video entitled "I Quit," Cenat revealed the channel and expanded on why he was so keen to change.
“I quit thinking in my head of the goals I want to achieve and not pursuing them because I’m primarily known for one thing," he explained.
“I’ve [come] to realise that I’m a true creator, and I’m very passionate about creating," he said. “I have other goals and things that I just want to achieve, and do more of."
