Kai Cenat Explains His Viral Reaction To Hearing Drake On Lil Yachty’s Collaboration

by

Kai Cenat recently reflected on his premiere of Lil Yachty and Drake’s unreleased collaboration, “Super Soak,” during which he was elated about Drake’s verse as soon as the Toronto rapper began performing. Speaking about the drama surrounding his reaction, Cenat explained that he didn’t know Drake was featured on the track beforehand.

“The clip doesn’t explain the full story so dumbass idiots see sh*t and run with it,” he began. “So, when Yachty sent me the track with him and Drake on it, they was coming at Drake and saying that he sent me it to play it. Then on top of that, they was on my ass for the way I was reacting because I was yelling because I didn’t know that Drake was on the track. Word to my mother, Yachty sent it to me live. I asked him live, ‘Can I leak the whole thing?’ He said, ‘Yeah, f*ck it.’ I played it. I didn’t even know Drake was on the track. You know what I could’ve did with that? I could’ve took the unreleased and ran up a million with that motherf*cker bro. That’s why I reacted the way I did.”

When DJ Akademiks posted the explanation on Instagram, fans of Drake accused the haters of being Kendrick Lamar fans. “Cant believe all these grown men love kendrick so much they think the people they watch gotta have the same opinions as them,” one user wrote. Another countered: “Drake stans still bringing up Kendrick when this post has nothing to do with him ……. I’m starting to think that loss caused some of yall to have mental issues.” One more fan commented: “This got nothing to do with Kenny. It’s how he was hyping the song like he liked it so much first listen dancing and sh*t lol. It’s ok to do promo. Homie was just doing to much for it to be ANYBODY song.”

Kai Cenat Asked Ice Spice To Freestyle, But She Opted To Go More NSFW And Just Twerk Instead

When in doubt, twerk it out. This is a lesson Ice Spice learned yesterday (July 25). During a broadcast with popular streamer Kai Cenat, the “Phat Butt” rapper was able to wiggle her way out of his request for her to freestyle for his audience.

While promoting her debut studio album, Y2K, Kai thought it was be a great idea for Ice Spice to show off her lyrical styles to finally but hater to bed. But, Ice Spice had other plans. Instead of obliging with an 8 bar throwaway, Ice Spice delivered her best 8 count twerk off.

“That was my freestyle,” she joked, to which Kai rewarded with a round of applause.

However, users online weren’t as kind to Ice Spice in their responses.

“That’s all the talent she has,” wrote one user.

“I say this is a player that knows her limitations on the court,” penned another.

“Is we complaining, tho,” countered another.

“Sh*t I would rather her do this than to actually freestyle,” chimed another.

“Good strategy from Ice Spice she started dancing she knows she was finna get cooked from that freestyle,” joked another.

On the heels of the controversial 2024 XXL Freshmen Class cypher, Ice Spice might’ve dodged a load of backlash. In fact, Ice Spice seemingly pulled a play from Uproxx cover star Coi Leray’s book. When all else fails, go for what you know.

Or maybe Ice Spice stands by Vince Staples’ rule of thumb as it relates to promotional freestyles during album rollouts?

Ice Spice Checks Kai Cenat On Livestream For Trying To Smack Her Butt

by

On Thursday night, Ice Spice did a livestream with popular video content creator Kai Cenat to promote her debut album, Y2K. She and Cenat have streamed together in the past. His platform is one of the places newer rappers go to promote themselves or their music. Several clips from the stream are making the rounds on the internet, including one of Cenat attempting to smack Ice’s butt before getting caught.

Cenat tried to explain it away. Unfortunately for him, he stumbled through his words en route to an explanation that did not make much sense. Fans wasted no time making jokes at Cenat’s expense. One X user noted that Ice Spice had “eyes in the back of her head.” Others asked what he was doing. Ice did not take his explanation seriously, responding with the sarcastic tone befitting of someone from New York City.

Ice Spice Checks Kai Cenat On Stream

For Ice Spice, Cenat’s stream was the last stop on her album’s pre-release promotional tour. Y2K arrived on Friday at midnight. Earlier in the week, she was the subject of Rolling Stone‘s latest cover story. She went in depth about her relationships with Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift, dealing with negativity, and her “feud” with Latto. Cenat’s livestreams are a looser atmosphere, as fans have previously seen when he went live with Kevin Hart and Druski. Ice and Cenat are both from The Bronx as well, which they’ve talked about in the past.

Y2K comes with some fan intrigue. Ice Spice has been among the most popular rappers around for the last two years. The New York Times dubbed her “Hip-Hop’s New Princess” in a January 2023 profile. She’s rubbed shoulders with Taylor Swift, even getting on a remix of Swift’s track “Karma.” Despite those achievements, people if she could hold their attention for an entire album. Her Like..? EP was met with a mixed reaction. Much like that EP, Y2K is dividing fans early. Ice released nearly half the album as singles. None of them captured the public in the way that her songs with PinkPantheress or Nicki Minaj did last year. Hopefully, her stream with Cenat gives it a boost.

Ice Spice Twerks On Kai Cenat’s Stream After Being Asked To Freestyle

Ice Spice just dropped off her brand-new album, Y2K. This is her debut project and as you can imagine, there was a lot of hype going into this release. However, there were also quite a few reservations. With four out 10 songs already being known to the public, fans felt like Spice could have done more. Not to mention, the lead singles were not incredibly popular. Either way, there is a lot of intrigue about the project, and only time will tell what happens next for her.

Meanwhile, on Thursday night, Ice Spice decided to do a stream with Kai Cenat as a means of promoting the album. She and Kai have been flirty with one another in the past, so it should come as no surprise that they streamed. Overall, it was a fun time for both of them and there are some viral clips making it to the internet. In one of these clips, Kai asks Ice Spice to freestyle. However, she ended up twerking instead. You can check out this clip, below.

Overall, this is going to be a make-or-break time for Ice Spice. People want to see that she is the real deal when it comes to hitmaking. However, the reactions to her latest songs have been brutal in a way. That said, it will be interesting to see whether or not the artist is able to subvert some of the narratives that have persisted as of late. Only time will tell whether or not this album is a true success or one of the biggest flops of the entire year.

Drake & Lil Yachty’s New Song Draws Mixed Reactions

by

Drake might be coming back with new music soon. After a first half of 2024 that the Toronto rapper would probably like to forget, it seems that he’s trying to get himself back on track. Popular Twitch streamer Kai Cenat previewed a new Drake song, featuring frequent collaborator Lil Yachty. Cenat and Drake are friends, with Cenat often supporting his new music by playing it on streams. Drake shouted him out on the track “First Person Shooter” with J. Cole, though not by name.

Drake and Yachty have collaborated a lot in recent years. Yachty appeared on the For All The Dogs track “Another Late Night,” released last year. Yachty also has production credits on For All The Dogs and the Grammy-nominated Her Loss, Drake’s joint album with 21 Savage. Drake cited Yachty’s influence as why For All The Dogs became what it did. Fans had a lot to say about the new snippet, which is currently untitled.

Drake & Lil Yachty Song On Kai Cenat’s Twitch Stream

“Man Drake saving the summer once again,” said one Instagram user. Another took the new snippet as an opportunity to make fun of Kendrick Lamar fans. “Meanwhile Kenny fans still listening to that burnt out ahh track,” the user said. If nothing else, Stephen Curry agrees with Lamar’s hit “Not Like Us” being “burnt out.” Some fans did not want to hear Yachty appear on the song. “Nahhhh we didn’t need lil boat on this one,” and “Song is fire without yachty part!!” said two other users. Lil Yachty has often divided opinion, and this latest snippet is no different.

Drake has done two joint albums in the past. First was What A Time To Be Alive, his hit album with Future and Metro Boomin that took 2015 by storm. In 2022, he released the aforementioned Her Loss with 21 Savage, which was nominated for Best Rap Album at the 2024 Grammy Awards. Considering Drake and Yachty’s recent history, a joint album between those two next does not seem like an unlikely destination. Are you here for a collaborative album between the two? Will that get Drake’s career back on track? Sound off in the comments.

Kai Cenat Played An Unreleased Drake And Lil Yachty Collab Live On His Stream

Drake seems to be putting his feud with Kendrick Lamar behind him. Since dropping “Family Matters,” currently his final contribution to the diss track swap, Drake has linked up with Sexyy Red on “U My Everything” and Camila Cabello on a couple new tracks. Now, the story continues via a new Lil Yachty collab.

Streaming icon Kai Cenat previewed an unreleased Drake/Yachty track on his stream last night (July 23). The song doesn’t have an official title, but some have dubbed it “Supersoak” or “Super Soaked”

Drake sings on the chorus (per Genius), “I’m watching the moves and playin’ it close / S.O.D. (Stacks on deck), super soaked / Rainy days isn’t hers, matchin’ coat / Jet so big, it feel like a boat, stayin’ afloat / I’m watching the moves and playin’ it close / S.O.D., super soaked / She was a hoe, but I ain’t gon’ judge, ’cause that was way before.”

Drake isn’t the only one who’s kept busy in 2024. Yachty started the year by dropping his psychedelic album Let’s Start Here in January. In June, he linked up with James Blake for a joint project, Bad Cameo. Beyond Blake, he also collaborated with everybody from Faye Webster to McDonald’s.

Check out the video above.

Kai Cenat Premieres New Drake And Lil Yachty Song During Live Stream

Kai Cenat has skin in the hip-hop game. At least, he’s notable enough to warrant a mention. Drake referenced the Twitch streamer by name on his Kendrick Lamar diss, “Push Ups.” He also showed love to Cenat during a 2023 show. “Make some noise for my brother Kai Cenat one time in here, you know,” the rapper told the Atlanta crowd. The two appear to be on good terms, but fans were still totally caught off guard on July 23, when Cenat played a previously unreleased collab between Drake and Lil Yachty.

The song doesn’t have an official title, but Kai Cenat lets the entire thing play while he reacts in real time. The Twitch streamer counts down from ten before premiering the song, which he seemingly had never heard before. The beat and smooth cadence of the opening verse is classic Drake, or at least, the Drake that fans have gotten in the 2020s. His flow is reminiscent of numerous tracks on Her Loss (2022) and For All the Dogs (2023). Mileage may vary. That being said, Kai Cenat loves it. He struts around the room while Drizzy makes reference to an unfaithful woman.

Drake And Lil Yachty Skate Over A Moody Instrumental

The rapper also drops the line “Cleopatra working at the Pyramid tonight.” This seems like a direct nod to Frank Ocean’s 2012 single “Pyramids.” There’s a brief instrumental break in between Drake and Yachty’s verse, and Kai Cenat grows impatient. “Where you at, Boat,” he asks. The rapper then hops on the track with his trademark vocal warble. Yachty doesn’t flow as smoothly as Drake, but his bizarre inflections are more in line with what his fans like. Overall, the untitled song is pleasantly catchy. Not a smash, but the kind of deep cut that could anchor the back end of an album.

The timing of the song’s premiere makes sense, given Drake’s recent remarks. The rapper recently told DJ Akademiks that he plans to get back to making hits. “This is him to me,” Ak told his viewers. “He says, ‘Yo Ak, I’m back to giving everybody who loves me what they love from me.’” There’s no word on when fans will get a CDQ version of this Yachty collab. In the meantime, though, Drake will appear on the new Gordo album Diamante, which is out July 27. Maybe the rapper has a 2024 comeback in him after all.

Druski launched Coulda Been Records in 2019, described by Complex as “a satirical record label crafted for his IG Live talent-scouting show.” More recently, Druski aired his Coulda Been House reality show on YouTube, and now, the label’s viability is indisputable.

On Monday, July 22, Druski exclusively revealed to Billboard that he will stage his inaugural Coulda Fest at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on September 7. The comedy and music festival will feature Lil Baby, Kai Cenat, Soulja Boy, Waka Flocka Flame, Yung Joc, Young Dro, Roscoe Dash, Navv Greene, Travis Porter, DJ Unk, Baby Drill, Baby Kia, Shop Boyz, Yung LA, F.L.Y., Rich Kidz, and Ugliest Rapper Alive.

“Coulda Fest won’t be a traditional music and comedy festival,” Druski told Billboard. “It’s going to be a celebration of Atlanta’s culture and a night full of hilarious sketches that bring us back to the special times in our city’s music history. This concept has never been done before, so I’m looking forward to bringing this vision to life.”

The event will be co-hosted by DC Young Fly, known for starring on Wild ‘N Out.

According to Druski’s Instagram announcement, the artist pre-sale is slated for Wednesday, July 24, beginning at 10 a.m. ET. The code is “COULDA.” The general sale will take place on Friday, July 26. You can sign up for notifications here.

Kai Cenat FaceTimes A$AP Rocky On Twitch Stream

by

Kai Cenat FaceTimed A$AP Rocky after meeting up with fellow A$AP Mob member Illz. Cenat was live on his Twitch stream when he ran into A$AP Illz, which quickly turned into Cenat on the phone with Rocky. The New York City natives exchanged pleasantries, as they had never met to that point, before hanging up the phone.

Cenat has been on live stream with some of the most popular names in entertainment. He recently collaborated with Kevin Hart, which went viral for several moments over the several hours they spent together. He spoke with LeBron James on FaceTime on that stream as well. The two of them met in real life during Team USA’s practice in Las Vegas. Neither party has ruled out the possibility of James appearing on Cenat’s channel. Although, it will probably have to wait a while as Team USA is in France for the Olympics.

Kai Cenat has had another banner year as a titan of Twitch. He recently went viral for a stunt he and popular YouTube creator MrBeast pulled off. On the Fourth of July, a replica of Cenat’s room went up in flames after fellow YouTuber ImDavisss lit fireworks in it. The video went viral, but Cenat and MrBeast, real name James Donaldson, had to explain that they did not really burn down Cenat’s actual room. Cenat has also become a prominent Elden Ring player. His livestream of him playing the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC pack lasted 166 hours and reportedly netted him over $400 thousand.

After nearly six years without a new album, A$AP Rocky finally announced something new. Rocky is releasing Don’t Be Dumb, his fourth effort, on August 30. The rapper-turned-fashion mogul premiered tracks from the album at a fashion show in June. Earlier this year, Rocky was caught in the crossfire of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle thanks to his own longstanding issues with Drake. He will look to dispel any notions that his music is “mid” when his next full-length work arrives late next month.

Kai Cenat Defends Sketch After His Gay OnlyFans Past Sparks Backlash

by

Sketch was the talk of the internet on July 8. Leaked photos of the Madden streamer engaging in sexual acts with other men leaked online. There was speculation that he’d had an OnlyFans account before his Twitch career took off. Instead of denying these claims, Sketch confirmed them. He hopped on stream and admitted that the photos were real. He owned his past, but the backlash has been swift. So swift, in fact, that fellow streamers have come forward to defend Sketch. Kai Cenat is one of them.

Cenat was confused as to why so many people would want to cancel Sketch over the leaked photos. “Why do people care so much,” he wondered aloud. “I understand it’d be shocking to a lot of people, but bro. Why does something that somebody else do get you so mad to the point where you gotta go on the internet and bully the n**ga.” Kai Cenat went on to discuss the outsized reaction to Sketch’s past, and the ways in which social media users have resorted to bullying.

Kai Cenat Calls Out Fans For Overreacting

The Twitch streamer liked the severity of the backlash to Sketch committing a crime. “You would think that [Sketch] murdered somebody,” he asserted. “You would think this n**ga murdered somebody by the way n**gas is talking.” Kai Cenat urged his followers to practice empathy with regards to Sketch and the other people who amass this level of bullying online over their past. He also made it clear that he was not bothered by what Sketch had done. “I’m not in no space to judge anybody for what they do or what they have done,” he added. “It doesn’t bother me, I don’t care.”

Antonio Brown, who was one of the most prominent bullies of Sketch initially, even walked back his comments after realizing how bad things have gotten. After tweeting images of Sketch with the “f” slur, Brown urged his followers to lay off. “My page comedy & entertainment,” he asserted. “But I wanted to make sure I let you know I spoke with @thesketchreal this morning. Jokes are jokes but making sure his mental health good. Never know what people got goin on or are goin through.”
