YouTuber Kai Cenat has found himself in hot waters with none other than rapper Kanye West. The two were involved in an altercation after the Carnival hitmaker sent over some clothes from his clothing line.
Kai Cenat is known for streaming on Twitch, where he hosts rappers and celebrities. Nicki Minaj and Offset are some of the high-profile names that have appeared on his streams. His interaction with Kanye was supposed to bring the star rapper into his famous show and podcast. But the screenshots of the DMs doing the rounds on Twitter do not tell you things are okay between the two.
Kai Cenat and Kanye West beef explored
The whole thing started with Kanye West sending stuff from his merchandise to Kai Cenat. The YouTuber opened the packaging while live on Twitch and was bemused to see some sweatpants that were not his size. ‘This sh*t’s not fitting me, bro’, he added, and he wanted small-sized pants, not extra-large ones.
Kanye West apparently did not take the reaction too well, messaging Kai Cenat not to make jokes about his clothing line. He also added ‘Don’t play with me’ at the end. Kanye even pulled his strained collaboration with Adidas into the conversation, saying Kai Cenat did not say anything about that either.
Reacting to Kanye’s DMs, Kai Cenat was in disbelief with what the message said. He does not consider him liable for Kanye’s reaction and was quoted saying, ‘What the F*ck did I do?’.
Later, Kai Cenat replied to Kanye, saying that he was happy to receive items from the star rapper and showing his appreciation on his stream. He had only reacted to the pants not fitting him and that they had sent him extra-large sizes. He pointed out that no jokes were made, and he wanted something based on his own fittings.
Kanye replied, asking him if that was truly the case, and Kait was quick to say ‘Yes’. But Kanye may not have taken this whole thing lightly, as he responded by labeling Cenat as a ‘pawn’. The rapper even made claims that brands were paying Kai Cenat to make comments about his clothing line.
Myron Gaines brutally slams Kai Cenat
Twitter was abuzz, with many sharing their reactions to the whole episode. Myron Gaines, who hosts the podcast Fresh & Fit, had to say something too.
He was not convinced that Kai Cenat was not joking around with Kanye’s merchandise. According to him, he could have handled things better in front of his many viewers. Gaines seems to take Kanye’s side on the whole matter and believes his reaction was justified.
Kai Cenat has not responded to the claims made by Kanye West so far. But many fans thought the YouTuber was simply fooling around and getting the wrong brunt.
Was Kanye too harsh with his reaction to Kai Cenat? Let us know in the comments.
