Former NBA star Tony Parker stunned internet personality Kai Cenat during a recent livestream at his home in Texas by revealing a fully operational 24-hour Nando's restaurant built into his private estate.
The moment unfolded on 1 July as Cenat toured Parker's luxury property during a broadcast. Fans flooded social media after the unexpected reveal, calling the setup an 'unreal flex' and 'rich beyond comprehension.'
A Full-service Nando's Inside a Private Mansion
Parker, known for winning four NBA championships with the San Antonio Spurs, has added a new talking point to his already extravagant residence: a round-the-clock Nando's restaurant, fully staffed and operated on-site. The revelation came as Cenat, one of the most popular streamers on platforms like Twitch and Kick, explored the home as part of a collaboration.
The restaurant, built into Parker's sprawling Texas mansion, is reportedly open 24/7 and offers the full Nando's menu, including its signature peri-peri chicken. Social media erupted with envy and admiration after clips from the livestream went viral, with users joking they were 'about to move in' or 'apply for a table.'
According to Indy100 and Sports Illustrated, the setup is entirely real — not a pop-up, prank or catering gig. It is a permanent fixture in Parker's home and includes staff on standby, suggesting a bespoke contract with the South African-Portuguese chain.

The phrase 'ultimate flex' quickly dominated social feeds as fans reacted to Parker's unusual home feature. While celebrity homes often include cinemas, gyms and pools, a private branch of a high-street restaurant complete with staff and branding is far less common.
Commentators on X (formerly Twitter) posted tongue-in-cheek remarks ranging from 'I'd never leave the house again' to 'billionaire behaviour.' Some even debated whether it was legal or possible for individuals to commission personal branches of global chains.
As of this writing, Nando's has not issued a formal statement confirming or denying an official partnership with Parker, though the brand has previously collaborated with celebrities for limited marketing campaigns.
A Long-standing Love for Nando's
Parker has not been shy about his love for the brand. In earlier interviews, he praised Nando's for its flavour and simplicity, though he had never mentioned a private installation. The restaurant's presence adds to what Sports Illustrated described as Parker's 'secret champion room' — a wing of his home filled with trophies, memorabilia and tailored amenities.
Cenat's surprise during the reveal appeared genuine, with the streamer exclaiming that he had 'never seen anything like it.' The moment has since been clipped and reposted across TikTok, YouTube, and Reddit, amassing millions of views.
How the Internet Made a Nando's Go Viral
The pairing of a basketball legend and a streaming sensation proved to be internet gold. Cenat's massive following and Parker's celebrity status helped propel the clip across social media within hours. Hashtags like #TonyParker, #NandosAtHome and #UltimateFlex trended globally within 24 hours of the stream.
While this is not the first time Cenat's streams have gone viral, the combination of luxury lifestyle and relatable fast food struck a unique chord with audiences. Users joked that Parker had unlocked 'the final level of adulthood,' while others expressed astonishment at the resources needed to maintain a round-the-clock restaurant.
Though Nando's remains a household name in the UK and abroad, Parker's approach to enjoying it may have set a new benchmark for celebrity indulgence — and fans, it seems, can't get enough.
