Career Beginnings
Linder began his journey as a content creator at a young age, launching a YouTube channel in 2016 where he posted gameplay clips and comedic moments. Over time, he gained confidence and transitioned to live streaming. He started streaming regularly on Twitch around 2023, establishing his online persona, 2xRakai. His early content primarily consisted of gaming and interactive “Just Chatting” sessions with his viewers.
Rise to Prominence
Linder’s profile saw a significant rise after a video he recorded in his car went viral, which he has stated was a pivotal moment that encouraged him to fully pursue streaming. His breakthrough was further solidified through his association with prominent streamer Kai Cenat and his participation in Cenat’s “Mafiathon 2” subathon. His energetic and comedic personality during these streams resonated with viewers, making him a fan favorite. This exposure led to an affiliation with the streamer collective Any Means Possible (AMP) in 2025. Now based in Atlanta, he has become a notable figure in the “Just Chatting” category on Twitch.
Content and Controversies

In addition to “Just Chatting” streams, he has also streamed gameplay from driving simulator games. He actively engages with his audience through features like a text-to-speech option for donations.
In late 2025, Linder faced a significant controversy when he was banned from Twitch for two years. The ban followed a live stream from a Walmart where he was depicted giving flowers to a woman without paying for them, leading to accusations of shoplifting. Linder addressed the situation, claiming there was a misunderstanding regarding his intentions for the flowers to be returned.
