Kai Cenat has built his brand on hilariously unpredictable livestreams. However, he wasn’t in much of a laughing mood this past weekend when a fan crashed his 2025 American Music Awards broadcast to promote Ye and his “outspoken” demeanor, among other things.
The 23-year-old Twitch streamer was seated at the show on Monday evening (May 26) when a man approached him to introduce his daughter. She seemed thrilled to meet the popular media personality, but the father had an agenda. “Hey, who let this guy in here?” he asked jokingly. “Hey, where’s Kanye at? We wanna say, we love Ye. We love Ye for being outspoken regardless, ’cause it’s America and I think it’s a great thing to live in a free country. Don’t you, Kai? It’s a free country and it’s cool to have opinions.”
Cenat’s demeanor visibly shifted from jovial to unenthused as the man continued speaking; he even looked directly into the camera to convey how taken aback he was. “So, you really hopped on my stream, knowing my influence, to come on here and say that?” Kai asked, to which the man replied, “Yeah” before continuing to wax poetic on how great a guy the artist formerly known as Kanye West is.
“This is what I’m gonna say: I think I want to protect my energy, so I’mma politely ask you get out of here, cuz,” Kai Cenat said. The man got in one last comment, saying it’s good to have free opinions in this country and wishing God bless the AMP member.
“I don’t want that,” Cenat said as the man walked away. “Whatever you got going on, you deal with that.” He quickly moved past the weird moment and stood up to give the veterans their respect on Memorial Day, but said, “Yo, that’s crazy” after fully processing what just happened. Watch above.
Ye has rubbed several people the wrong way with his rants and music over the last few months. He has consistently praised Adolf Hitler, going as far as to put out a song called “Heil Hitler” in addition to defending Diddy, slandering Kendrick Lamar and Playboi Carti, and publicly disparaging his ex-wife Kim Kardashian. Cenat initially planned to do a livestream with the Chicago producer in Japan earlier this year, but the chaos he caused made it difficult to him to move forward with the collaboration.
