Will anything happen to my kidneys if I keep drinking 2 scoop protein shakes twice a day?

Studies aren't easy to find and were made using animal models (rodents), but they seem to indicate that whey protein diets are bad for your kidney and liver. It seems that the intake has to be rather high though.
4 scoops a day is probably bad on the long run, and could be on the short term. Beside that how much protein do you take a day ? Your protein intake shouldn't mostly rely on supplements.
If your poop is fine then you're good and keep going. If not then long term will suck

5 more scoops! Cmon!

I get 4 x 30g scoops a day from whey protein. The rest is from milk and chicken etc

your kidneys will grow stronger
I eat two scoops for breakfast and two scoops for lunch and chicken for dinner
Everyday now for several months. Am I going to die?

I'm gonna assume that 30g of whey nets you 20g of actual protein. That would be 80g of proteins a day from supplement.
I don't know your stats but that seems like a lot, do you know how much protein you consume a day ? I'm not a professional nor a doctor but you probably don't need that much proteins.
With that said I don't think you're taking extreme amounts of proteins so you shouldn't have any problems, but I still wouldn't take that much whey a day for extended periods of times because A) you probably don't need need, and B) it's likely to dmage your liver (even if it doesn't do much, the build-up could cause a problem).
I can't affirm anything though, sorry man.

probably 180-190g a day with all the milk.
Just trying to gain weight really

How's it going ? The numbers I know of are 500 grams a week (so 2kg a month) or you're packing too much fat compared to muscle gains.

1kg a week for 7 weeks. Only getting stronger. Added 40kg to my squat in that time too

Good progression but I believe you could gain less mass a week and still progress fine. If you're doing sets of 5 reps, what's your 5RM on the squat atm ?

Rodents are notorious for having problems with high protein diets.
Humans are the opposite.
If you have trouble finding studies, there's always "Dietary Protein and Resistance Exercise".
