"Now Would You Guys Get Scared?": Kai Cenat's Friend Ray Shocks Fans with Dramatic Transformation
In the ever-changing landscape of internet fame, Twitch streamer Ray better known by his handle rayasianboy is the latest social media sensation after unveiling a fresh new look on-stream June 30, 2025.
The 19 year old Twitch streamer and YouTube star frequently regarded as the heir apparent to, and collaborator with, fellow streaming juggernaut Kai Cenat had resulted in fans across the world shouting in disbelief after he showed up in his new YouTube video draped in what appeared to be a full sleeve of actual, ghastly-looking tattoos adorning his arms, neck, chest and right cheek.
A Tattooed Statement of Identity
Despite Ray's notable weight loss, the effects of his transformation went beyond appearance. In live chats with his online audience, Fong explained the cultural significance of some of his tattoos. Gesturing towards the dragon tattoo front and center on his cheek, Ray explained, "You feel me? I have to keep the Asian culture in my mind. You feel me? Have to keep the Asian culture in me! You feel me? This dragon!"
Asking the Crowd: 'Would You Be Scared?'
It wasn't just the tattoos that started the controversy, it was what Ray asked Judy next that truly sent the internet into a frenzy.
Instead of the intended reaction of awe, or perhaps even fright, Ray was instead met with a tsunami of derisive condemnation from digital denizens. The majority replied that they would be terrified not even a little bit, with some even calling him 'soft' or 'pu**y' underneath in the comments.
Online Reactions: Mixed but Engaged
We clearly aren't the only ones eager to learn more reactions on social media have been fast and furious, and overwhelmingly divided.
After the performance, some commended Ray for fully embracing his culture and using the space a platform provides to express himself creatively, but others disagreed about whether the face tattoo in particular was a good move at such a young age.
Ray's successful livestream did what every successful content creator dreams of doing. It closed gullets, raised eyebrows, and had viewers glued to screens.

Whether this artistic giant's leap will open up a new avenue for other young streamers to traverse, or if this will be a solitary artistic evolution, distinct to Ray, we don't know yet, what is clear is that he's not shying away from asking hard questions and living with the answers.

Bennett calmed nerves first, announcing during a celebration party at E11even that he was staying. He later signed an 8-year, $64 million extension. Ekblad followed with his own 8-year, $48.8 million contract. Together, these deals consumed a significant portion of Florida's $19 million salary cap space. Brad Marchand Spotted at Wimbledon (Image via: Instagram) The 37-year-old forward hinted at an extension during team celebrations, but with the Bruins reportedly interested in a reunion, the Panthers face a tough decision. Despite winning his second Stanley Cup, Marchand remains one of the most sought-after names in free agency.
