Somebody is lying. After Kai Cenat claimed that “someone” in the Secret Service reached out to him about interviewing VP Kamala Harris, but her campaign says that no such thing happened.
It all started when Cenat recently went live and asserted that someone representing the Secret Service called him five times about linking with VP Kamala Harris for a stream interview. He stated that he wasn’t with it because he’s just not that into politics (“I don’t give a f*ck,” he said).
Cenat added, “If someway, somehow, something was to go into where I do a stream of politics, I’m going to be 100 percent honest,” he said in the video. I’m going to sit on my stream and say ‘Why did you guys call me?”
Duly noted.
Considering his millions of followers across multiple platforms like Twitch, YouTube and IG, the Harris campaign trying to secure his co-sign wasn’t too far-fetched. Also, Kick host Adin Ross recently interviewed Donald Trump and got millions of views, with probably more criticism considering it was Cheeto and he erroneously blamed Biden for banning abortion.
However, Cenat’s claim that it was someone from the Secret Service who communicated with him immediately got the side since PR is not in their job description. The Harris campaign then came out and said, Nah. TMZ reports the Harris campaign leadership hasn’t even discussed anything about Cenat interviewing the VP of the United States.
But reportedly, Cenat’s team has been in talks with a third-party with alleged ties to the DNC’s convention team, which goes down in Chicago in late August. But what that actually means as far as Cenat’s participation is unknown. But the kicker here is that those supposed discussions started while Biden was still running.
While Cenat’s emphatic reaction went viral, it was more so due to suspected capping. See for yourself in the gallery.

It appears that Twitch is the new mixtape leak. Kai Cenat recently previewed a new track from Drake and Lil Yachty.
As reported on Hypebeast, the New York City native broke the internet once again. On Wednesday, July 24, the popular online personality took to Twitch and premiered a new track from Drake and Lil Yachty. Now referred to as “Super Soak,” the selection finds both MCs floating nicely on a slow-pitched beat, which samples Mr. Hotspot’s “Goodness Gracious.” Drizzy opens the cut with his signature approach of blending singing and rapping together. “I’m watching the moves, I’m playing it close / S.O.D., Super Soak / Rainy days, his and hers, matching coat / Jet is so big, it feel like a boat, staying afloat / I’m watching the moves, I’m playing it close,” he raps.
Lil Yachty follows Drake after the chorus with some moody bars on the second verse. “Twenty times Bottega, you can get what you want / Twenty times Balenci’, you could have it all / I don’t ask no questions ’bout who else involved / Get rid of your troubles (Phew), problem solved.” As expected, Kai Cenat turned up while the song played and proceeded to cut a rug from the comfort of his bedroom. Earlier this week, Adin Ross teased a song called “Promotion” that features Ye, Ty Dolla $ign and Future.

Last summer, Kai Cenat found himself in quite the the legal pickle when a planned PS5 giveaway in New York City went left and thousands of teenagers rioted in Union Square and caused all kinds of ruckus.
Naturally, the NYPD detained Cenat over the stunt and charged him for inciting a riot, but luckily for him he won’t have to fight the case any longer. According to the Gothamist, the popular influencer won’t be prosecuted for the riot that went down last August that actually put him on the map for millions of people who had no idea who he was at the time (no shots). After coming out of pocket to pay for the damages caused by the wild teens, Manhattan prosecutors have decided to drop the charges against Cenat and let him go about his online life.
Gothamist reports:
District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office said it would not prosecute the charges against Cenat and two others, Denzel Dennis and Muktar Din, after they paid more than $57,000 in combined restitution for damages to the square’s landscaping and posted a public apology about the incident on social media. The three have had no new arrests since the Aug. 4 incident that took residents and police by surprise and temporarily disrupted transit, according to the DA’s office.
The case was set to be dismissed after the apology — shared by Cenat on Snapchat and reposted by Dennis and Din — remained on the platform for 24 hours.
“I am from NY and would never want to see the city turned upside down due to unwanted, irresponsible, and dangerous behavior,” Cenat, a Bronx native, said in the post. “I wanted to do something cool and fun for people and did not think it was going to turn into something that caused harm to the city, and I should have thought more about the post before I announced it.”
Last August, thousands of teenagers took over Union Square in New York City after Kai Cenat promised to show up with free PS5’s and gift cards. By the time he showed up the crowd was antsy, and before anyone knew it chaos ensued, and the crowd overwhelmed both Cenat’s security team and the NYPD. After Cenat made a run for it, the teenagers went wild and caused havoc on the surrounding businesses and anything in sight. It was quite the spectacle.
Cenat was booked for inciting a riot, but after paying for the damages and making a public apology, he’s now in the clear. Easy-peasy. We’re sure Donald Trump wishes Alvin Bragg would let him slide on the Stormy Daniels case like he did Kai Cenat, but that’s not happening.
What do y’all think? Did Kai Cenat get off too easy, or was it fair and just? Let us know in the comments section below.

Kai Cenat may not be on the same level of stardom as Ye aka Kanye West, but that isn’t keeping the online celebrity from clapping back at the music icon for taking some potshots at him.
Last week during an interview with Justin Laboy on The Download podcast, Kanye West made a lot of noise (as he tends to do). While many folks were talking about what he had to say about Michelle Obama and having a song with Takeoff, one subject that flew under the radar was his thoughts on the king of streams, Kai Cenat. Apparently, still salty that Cenat complained about some sweatpants he sent him saying they were too big. Ye chalked it up to Kai Cenat being an “industry plant.”
Just because Kai Cenat thought Ye’s pants were oversized, the rapper decided to label him an industry plant and added, “The f*cking exact genre is the most industry plants. It’s about mind control.” Kanye also took issue with Kai “Cent” mentioning his daughter’s name a week later. But we feel he’s more bothered about the pants more than anything else.
While Kanye may feel that way about Kai Cenat, the pants he sent him were a bit too big. It is what it is.
Needless to say Kai was not going to let that slide and took to his channel to address Kanye’s “slander” saying “Ye, I’ve been doing this s**t since 2018, Ye. Facebook. Me. Bronx. Funny skits. Been doing this sh*t. All because a lot of people… man f*ck that! The pants ain’t fit my n*gga!!” LOL. They really didn’t, but Ye doesn’t like anyone criticizing his work whether it be music or fashion. Apparently, if you do he’ll label you an industry plant.
Looking to squash whatever beef Kanye may have with him, Kai pleaded with Ye: “Just send me some new pants, bro!” It really is that simple, but leave it to Kanye to turn a simple thing into some kind of conspiracy theory ish.
Check out Kai Cenat’s reaction to Kanye’s comments below, and let us know your thoughts on the situation in the comments section.

Kai Cenat looks as if he has a new enemy, as fellow streamer IShowSpeed has released a diss track directed toward him online.
In the current climate of rap beef that’s been present these last couple of weeks, another surprising feud has surfaced, this time between popular streamers Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed. The new track was released by IShowSpeed on Tuesday (April 23) during a live stream, where he rapped the denigrating lyrics directed at Cenat over the instrumental of Drake’s “Back To Back” track from 2015 as he stood in front of a green screen.
“Kai, you can’t pull Tyla/You dirty-a*s n***a you do not pull b***hes/I’m sending 5k to a f**king b***h, I never paid for p***y, n***a suck my d***k,” IShowSpeed spits out, referencing the South African songstress’ recent visit to the popular streamer which garnered a lot of attention and a claim by Cenat of extortion from an OnlyFans personality. “Adin leaked my number/B***h, here go your muthaf**kin number,” he continues showing a contact number on his smartphone purportedly belonging to Kai Cenat. “B***h, I really don’t care/Zoom in, take a good stare/N***a, I don’t give a f**k/You always on my d**k, n***a, suck my left nut.” Kai Cenat hasn’t commented on the track as of yet. The 19-year-old and IShowSpeed have had a turbulent relationship in the past, but have collaborated multiple times. But the new turn by IShowSpeed might be linked to Kai Cenat seemingly sending verbal barbs his way in a freestyle that he released over 50 Cent’s “In Da Club” which went viral last month.
As for IShowSpeed, he’s gotten into hot water for online stunts in the past involving other streamers who’ve blasted him for leaking personal information linked to them. The popular gamer and streamer Ninja called IShowSpeed out last November after deleting his Discord channel. He stated that the 23-year-old leaked the information to the channel to the public and his followers during a stream. “That Discord had Drake, Travis Scott, Marshmello, JuJu, every professional Fortnite player you could imagine,” he said at the time. All of the top OG streamers, like fucking everyone, and I had to fucking nuke it because Speed leaked it.”

It’s starting to seem like today’s celebrities are learning the hard way that when you deal with women (well, anyone) you meet off of Instagram or OnlyFans, it’s not necessarily going to be a one-and-done affair. Kai Cenat has become the latest student of how cold the game can get when you play around with the wrong one, but he’s not taking it lying down (at least not like he did at one point with her).
According to Vibe, the world-famous social media influencer is allegedly being extorted by an OnlyFans model, Layla Red, who is looking for a bigger payday in exchange for her secrecy pertaining to their sexual encounter. Apparently, Red has been asking Cenat to cough up $5,000 (on top of the $5,000 he’d allegedly already paid her) or she’d go public with their “relationship.” To show that she wasn’t playing, the OF content creator “leaked” a picture of a naked Kai sleeping in her bed after one of their “baby-making sessions.”
Trying to avoid looking like a simp to his millions of fans, Cenat went on the offensive and refuted the notion that he came out of pocket for $5,000.
Per Vibe:
However, Cenat went live on Sunday night (April 14) debunking the OF content creator’s claims and threatening to take her to court due to her breaking a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) that she supposedly signed.
He also shared a transcript of his Apple Pay transactions, showing proof that he never paid her five stacks for sex, but only $50 for her Uber ride.
In response, Red also shared a screen recording of her own which apparently shows a message from Cenat sending over $5k via Apple Pay.
After Red tried to drop her receipts, Kai Cenat went digital age petty on the model and informed everyone that he purchased her name domain so that any time someone Google’s her name, they’ll be directed to “all of her lies,” instead of her OF link, Vibe reports.
That’s pretty damn clever.
Continuing to fight for his good name, Cenat continued to troll Red on his Live and let viewers witness just how messy things can get when you try to come for him and his money. That man really seems unbothered by the situation. Just sayin’.

Lil Nas X went on social media to release an apology for his controversial “J Christ” video which has earned the artist some heavy backlash.
The latest single and music video by Lil Nas X has brought about a backlash that has compelled the artist to issue an apology through social media. On Monday (January 15), Lil Nas X addressed those criticizing “J Christ”, which was released last Friday (January 12). In a four-minute video which he shared in a post on X, formerly Twitter, the rapper began by saying he wanted to “explain where my head is at,” with his words.
He stated that he wasn’t necessarily apologizing for the song, but he acknowledged that he might have gone awry in his promotion of the single. “This is not to try to get everybody on my good side or whatnot. This is more to clear my head about my own decisions. I know I messed up really bad this time,” said the “Old Town Road” artist while casually sporting a bonnet. “And I can act unbothered all I want, but it’s definitely taking a mental toll on me.” Lil Nas X would also state that he expected some heat because “religion is a sensitive topic,” but he wasn’t aiming to mock anyone’s faith. “I didn’t mean to mock. This wasn’t a ‘f—k you to you people, f—k you to the Christians.’ It was not that. It was ‘I’m back like Jesus,’” he continued. “I’m not the first person to dress up as Jesus. I’m not the first rapper, I’m not the first artist, and I won’t be the last.”
In closing, Lil Nas X said: “I was put on this earth to bring people closer together and promote love. That’s who I am. I’m not an evil demon guy trying to destroy someone’s values. That’s not me.” The “J Christ” video has become a spur for many to blast the artist for what they saw as disrespect, with media figures like gamer Kai Cenat and artists like Hurricane Chris releasing their own videos saying that he should find “something else to play with besides Jesus”.

This past weekend OG Hip-Hop journalist Elliott Wilson found himself at the mercy of the Barbz collective after he seemingly shaded Nicki Minaj for appearing on Kai Cenat’s streaming channel. Though he issued a public apology, it was too late. They hate him now.Things began when Wilson seemingly took a shot at both Nicki Minaj and Kai Cenat after the former appeared on Cenat’s show with a post of Nicki twerking on the show and a caption that read “Hip Hop journalism.” Fans took the post as Wilson mocking the moment and Kai’s channel.
Nicki wasted no time in responding to Wilson’s alleged shade and took to X to slam him for his post. “Elliott if you’d spit Jay-Z dikk out for a one second, you’d be able to be happy for the new comers. Isn’t that how y’all tried to tarnish my image? By saying I’m not welcoming new btchs in?” Nicki tweeted.
The post was enough to have the Barbz pounce on Wilson to the point that he took down his post and threw up a new one in which he tried to make amends with Nicki saying he never dissed her and “Always said she’s the female rap [GOAT]. Over Lauryn, Missy, Kim and Foxy and all. I think Cardi B is dope too. Happy Holidays.”
Unfortunately, that didn’t save him from the online wrath of the Barbz.
Wilson then went on and praised Kai for getting this far in the streaming lane saying Cenat “deserves respect.”
People are still mad even though Wilson continued to shower Nicki with praise following the release of her latest album, Pink Friday 2.
Nicki meanwhile doesn’t seem to be letting up and continues to take shots at Wilson (whom she referred to as “Idiot” Wilson) and even threw a stray shot at DJ Envy for being involved in his alleged real estate scam after hating on her music.
Nicki’s on one! Y’all don’t know what y’all started. Hopefully Nicki’s husband doesn’t start stalking Elliott Wilson now. Just sayin’.
Peep Nicki address Elliott Wilson below, and let us know if his apologies were enough to quiet the storm in the comments section below.

Nicki Minaj is still coasting on the high waves after dropping her latest studio album Pink Friday 2 last week and is now making the media rounds. The American-Trinidadian superstar joined with popular streamer Kai Cenat for a stream event that has the Barbz celebrating but also sparked some critics to chime in, too.
Nicki Minaj hopped on Twitch with Kai Cenat early Thursday morning (December 14) with fans of both figures tuning in at major numbers even in the wee hours. The pair, who both share Trinidadian heritage, talked about Pink Friday 2, engaged with fans, held a dance party, took some shots, and Minaj also shared a new track.
According to some of the chatter we’ve seen online, the stream got over 360,000 views and apparently shattered Cenat’s viewership record but we have yet to confirm that on our side. However, it would be safe to see that having over 300,000 viewers turned in at the hour they began is impressive all the same.
Given the age difference between Cenat, 21, and Minaj, 41, and considering that Cenat’s audience is also on the younger side, some observers didn’t understand the pairing. There was also a dig from a notable Hip-Hop journalist that stood out, which we’ll share in the reactions later.
Despite that, the two seemed to enjoy each other’s company and Minaj joined in a wild dance party with Cenat and his friends. There was also a point where Cenat introduced Minaj to his mother and twin sister.
On X, formerly Twitter, folks are adding their thoughts about Nicki Minaj and Kai Cenat connecting on Twitch. Check out the reactions below.
Pink Friday 2 is out now.
