‘Karen’ throws drinks at Starbucks barista in heated drive-thru altercation – Dexerto
‘Karen’ throws drinks at Starbucks barista in heated drive-thru altercation TikTok/b190372A Starbucks employee has reportedly been fired despite having drinks thrown at her by a customer during a war of words in the drive-thru. Fast food disputes have become an all-too-common occurrence, with customers and employees fighting each other – but one incident quickly got out of control. In a video making rounds on social media, a customer in a Starbucks drive-thru was going at it with a barista, exchanging words back and forth. Although we don’t know what started the dispute, both the barista and the customer were filming, with the woman in the car saying she wanted to get the employee fired. That’s when things really took a turn. Starbucks employee reportedly fired after viral fight with customer As the two continued to make remarks back to each other, the customer requested a receipt with the employee’s name on it in order to contact the manager and get her fired. “It’s not my name on it, but you can see it right here,” the barista said, presumingly pointing to her name tag. “Actually, you can go ahead and refund me,” the customer demanded, further upsetting the barista, who refused because the shopper had already received her drink. Without warning, the customer began to throw drinks back at the Starbucks staff, right through the drive-thru window. “I’m gonna press charges on you!” the employee warned. “You threw something at me, what do you think was going to happen?” As the customer finally drove off, she couldn’t help but throw yet another drink through the window, leaving the inside of the store a complete mess. Footage of the incident was uploaded to TikTok by an account called ‘b190372,’ but it was removed and then reposted. “This happened in Plano, Texas. The barista was fired over this,” the account captioned the video. “The barista was assaulted and you decide to fire her? Not ok!” While it has yet to be officially confirmed if the barista was indeed fired, users in the comments were on the barista’s side, insisting that she should follow through on filing charges while others called the woman a Karen for how she behaved. We still don’t know exactly what caused things to get so heated between the two ladies or if they knew each other before this incident. For more viral stories, keep it locked to Dexerto.

“Karen” throws poop and boiling water over car parked legally outside her house – Dexerto
“Karen” throws poop and boiling water over car parked legally outside her house TIKTOK: truerebelheartcoachingA TikToker was shocked after an angry homeowner poured feces and boiling water over her legally parked car amid a heated parking dispute. Natalie Mayers parked in a legal parking zone on the street in Toowoomba, Southern Queensland, Australia, to go to work. As she returned to her car, however, Natalie spotted a local homeowner dumping dog poop and boiling water over the vehicle, prompting her to start recording the confrontation. In a viral TikTok video, the resident confronted her saying, “Why did you park in front of my house when there’s a sign here saying please don’t, and the street is empty.” The homemade sign asked drivers not to park outside her property, or leave their car on the street while they go to work, which Natalie had done. However, the area outside the resident’s house is a legal public parking zone. “You’ve been here over three hours – I’ve taken a photo of what time you got here and when I did this. Why would you park here?” The woman admitted to tipping feces and hot water over the car, but showed little remorse, insisting that her actions were justified. Queensland Police confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that they were aware of the incident and that investigations were ongoing. In another TikTok clip, Natalie said she had to call the police as the situation escalated. “I did actually call 000 because she threatened me and told me to wait and see what she did to my car if I ever chose to come back,” she said. “I did feel a little bit concerned about what she actually might do next so I called triple zero and they told me to move my car further down the road.” This is just the latest ‘Karen’ incident to go viral on TikTok, after a woman got punched by a ‘racist Karen’ for not moving out of her way.

“Karen” shopper loses it as attempt to return worn underwear completely fails – Dexerto
“Karen” shopper loses it as attempt to return worn underwear completely fails TIKTOK: chaneljaliceAn elderly woman went viral on TikTok after berating an employee that wouldn’t let her exchange her used underwear. In a video recorded by a store employee, the woman was seen trying to reach over the customer service counter to grab a stack of clothing that she wanted to exchange other clothes for. Another employee snatched the clothes away, and asked the shopper to leave. “Leave my store, goodbye,” she told her. “Leave my store, ma’am. I’m telling you, I’m not the one you want to do this with.” The woman, deemed a “Karen,” tried to go around the counter to grab the clothes, but the employee stopped her, and continuously asked her to leave. “You’re too old for this, just leave my store,” the worker said. “You’re way too old for this. You’re way too old for this.” After refusing to leave, the woman told the employees to call security, so she’d tell them what they’re doing to her. The customer then reached out to grab the pile of clothes again, as another employee told her to exit the store. The second employee began recording the woman as well, but the shopper slapped her phone away. The employees eventually escorted her of the store, as she made one last attempt to snatch the clothing out of the second employee’s hands. In a follow-up video, the two store workers explained that the elderly woman was rude from the moment she entered. They also said she didn’t have Alzheimer’s or Dementia, which some TikTok users previously suggested. The second employee revealed that when the customer first came to the store, she helped her buy the Spanx that she was trying to exchange in the clip. “You can not return underwear. Do you go to Victoria’s Secret and try on underwear and put it back? No, that’s nasty,” she said in the story time video. According to the TikToker, Chanel, the woman was acting erratic, and eventually got in the second employee’s face, threatening to call the police. This prompted Chanel to start recording the first video, which went viral with 7.9 million views.

‘Karen’ slammed on TikTok after berating mechanic working on her car – Dexerto
‘Karen’ slammed on TikTok after berating mechanic working on her car TIKTOK: peterbuilthookerA ‘Karen’ has been slammed on TikTok for berating a car mechanic working on her vehicle in a viral video. The woman, who’s been labeled a “final boss Karen” by TikTok users went viral on the social media app for all the wrong reasons. In a 7-minute video with over 3.1 million views, she can be seen yelling at a young mechanic as he tries to put the lug nuts back on her car. The unnamed woman repeatedly tells him to leave her property, switching between commanding him to leave the car where it is and putting the lug nuts back on. “I don’t care put everything back together get the f**k off my property or I can drive you off my property too,” the woman is heard saying. The mechanic sat there in silence for a bit, before giving his answer, “Well all we do is come by here try to help-“ The woman interrupted him, yelling, “You come to help and you shut your mouth,” before threatening to have the police come and remove him from her property. The repair technicians were having difficulty removing the tire on the car, as the lug nut key that the woman provided for them isn’t working on the tire. She claimed that it’s the correct key, calling the man a “fool” and calling their work “bullsh*t.” “Tighten it up and get the f**k out, instead of making yourself look more stupid,” she screamed. “I pity your mother who pushed you into this world,” she said, to which the mechanic responded that he doesn’t have a mother. The ‘Mercedes Karen’ then tells him that she’s going to complain to the auto manufacturer about the his attitude “so that they will never use your company.” She continued, “You said to come to do the work. Do the work and shut the f**k up.” The calm repair tech then tells the woman that he needs another piece of equipment to get the tire back on, which only further infuriates the woman. “You should’ve brought it!” she says. “You picked the wrong b*tch. Nobody messes with me.” She continued to yell and curse at the car mechanic when he was finally leaving her garage. TikTok users slam ‘Karen’ for berating car mechanic TikTok users blasted the woman for how she treated the mechanic who was only doing his job. “It is unfathomable to me that someone would speak to another person the way this woman is speaking to this man. I am speechless!” one user wrote. “I would’ve dropped the car and left right when her voice raised,” a second claimed. “I’m so confused as to what is happening here … she wanted the tire fixed but then lost her mind?” a third added. “You have the patience of a saint. She’s not just a Karen she’s the final boss Karen,” someone else shared.

‘Karen’ kicked out of taco shop for “assaulting” employee over receipt – Dexerto
‘Karen’ kicked out of taco shop for “assaulting” employee over receipt TikTok/brendapena783A Karen’s wild taco shop tantrum is going viral on social media after she put her hands on an employee. Over-the-top public freakouts are sadly a bit of a common occurrence these days, with many of these disturbers of the peace being dubbed “Karens” by the online community. The latest viral incident comes in the form of a San Diego taco shop snafu when a woman absolutely lost her mind over a receipt and proceeded to take out all her anger on an employee. The video, which was originally uploaded to TikTok by ‘brendapena783,’ shows an older woman demanding an employee give her a receipt while launching a tsunami of abuse towards the cashier. Karen loses it on cashier in viral taco shop tantrum After dropping several choice words towards the cashier, including some four-letter ones, a man filming the video, seemingly also an employee, asked the woman to leave the restaurant. Instead of leaving, however, the woman continued to demand she get her receipt and even proceeded to grab the cashier by the apron, screaming in her face in the process. For her part, the Lucha Libre Taco Shop employee refused to back down and stood up for herself by knocking the woman’s hands away. “Don’t touch me!” she cried. “Get the f**k out of here!” Eventually, when threatened with a call to the police, the karen hightailed it out of there – but not before warning the taco shop crew that they would be “seriously in trouble” as she finally exited the restaurant. Despite the video no longer being public, the cashier captioned the video: “Yesterday I got physically assaulted by this lady at my job! This sh*t is not ok.” “That’s not even her receipt, that’s the ticket order we received in our printer and we tape it on top of the order. This was an online order she placed on our website that only gives you text/email receipt so she already had it,” the employee explained, adding some additional context. “I didn’t want to give it back to her because she was just yelling at me cussing me, because I didn’t want to refund her $73 for food that she had already eaten.” The video has since made its way to Reddit, where it’s received thousands of more views with some internet sleuths even believing they’ve identified the Karen in question. So far, there’s no word if the woman has been charged or if police are involved. This is hardly the first incident with a karen to blow up recently. In March, a hotel worker was threatened after asking a woman to show her ID.

‘Karen’ shames mom for not putting coat on her toddler in viral video – Dexerto
‘Karen’ shames mom for not putting coat on her toddler in viral video TIKTOK: kuuipodawnA ‘Karen’ went viral on TikTok after scolding a mother for not putting a coat on her child, leaving viewers divided. While walking outside with her toddler, content creator Ku’uipo Dawn (Kuuipodawn) was stopped by a woman who accused her of being a bad mother. “We literally just dropped off food for my sister at her school before walking back to the car when this Karen started yelling at me,” the TikToker wrote in a text overlay on her video. In an 18-second clip, which has amassed a whopping 13 million views, the ‘Karen’ in question was heard saying: “What kind of mother puts a coat on themselves and not their daughter?” Ku’uipo tried to explain that they were simply walking to the car, but was cut off. “Are you cold? ‘Cause if you are, then she is,” the frustrated woman told her. “Get a coat for your kid. Abusive.” TikTok users in the comments had mixed feelings about the situation, as some sided with the mom. “Bless your heart. You didn’t deserve that. You’re better than me. I would have hurt her feelings,” one user wrote. “It takes longer to wrestle a toddler in and out of a jacket in the cold to put them into the car seat than it does to quickly walk inside,” another added. “Not her business and I would not tolerate that from anyone. No way,” a third shared. Others thought the woman had a point, but her approach was wrong. “So how she handled this was so wrong. What she said about her needing a coat is right, but she went about it way wrong,” one commented. “Karen is right this time.. needs a better approach though,” another agreed. “There’s snow on the ground, kid definitely need a coat,” a third said.

‘Karen’ goes viral throwing McDonald’s order on the floor for being incorrect TIKTOK: stephaniejoseph1970An angry ‘Karen’ went viral on TikTok after throwing food off the counter at a McDonald’s because they got her order wrong. The customer was filmed taking the bag of a freshly made order, and aggressively throwing it to the ground before saying, “that’s wrong.” “I have watched ‘Karen’ videos, but never seen one in person until now,” stephaniejoseph1970 captioned her video. “The Manager was amazingly calm. I told him that I appreciated how calm he was and how he handled the situation!” In the now-deleted clip, a woman wearing a pink hoodie and pajama pants argued with a McDonald’s employee over her order. She then threw the food to the ground, leaving a mess of french fries and other items on the floor. The employee remained calm, and asked the customer and her partner if they had two crispy chicken sandwiches as part of their order. “No. I had two McChickens, I have one crispy chicken, two Big Macs, and two…McDoubles,” the woman told the cashier behind the counter. She then stood with her hand on her hip, staring at the employee. After a few seconds of silence, another McDonald’s worker walked out from the back holding two bags of food, asking “All right who has what?” The ‘Karen’ turned to them and said: “That should’ve been asked earlier.” However, the food was for another customer, as they took the bag from the second employee. At the end of the video, the worker was seen calmly speaking to the customer again. In the comments, TikTok users were appalled by the woman’s behavior, with one saying, “I would have refused service.” Another agreed, writing: “I would have just refunded her and said leave.” A third user added: “It’s like you were never told no by anyone and it shows.”

“Karen” harasses TikToker in the bathroom after assuming she’s trans – Dexerto
“Karen” harasses TikToker in the bathroom after assuming she’s trans TIKTOK: creatingjayroseA cisgender woman went viral on TikTok after filming a woman “harassing” her in the bathroom, as she thought she was trans due to her buzz cut. In a viral video with over 2.4 million views, content creator Jay recorded the woman yelling at her, as she assumed the TikToker was trans and using the ladies restroom. She wrote in a text overlay, “I knew she was talking about me so I started recording. Today a woman thought I was trans and harassed me for using the bathroom. I tried to mentally prepare myself before leaving the stall knowing she was going to approach me.” Jay provided further context to what the woman was saying outside of the stall, as smaller text overlay read: “*her venting about trans people’s gender identities.*” “Stay right there yeah figure out your identity in your bedroom,” the woman could be heard ranting outside of the stall, as the TikToker was leaving a bathroom stall. “I am pissed right now,” she continued. The woman then ranted about schools “teaching that nonsense,” and her voice got louder when Jay exited the stall. “It’s a boy, it’s a child,” she said, before she approached Jay and demanded to know her gender identity. “You’re in the ladies room, and I have gotten called out several times for being in the men’s room,” the woman claimed. “And you’re gonna be called out for whatever you’re doing. So what are you identifying as today?” “I don’t think that’s any of your business,” Jay responded. At some point, the woman, whom the TikToker labeled as a “Karen,” threatened to call the cops on Jay, who was happy for her to do so. The woman continues to angrily accost Jay, with mostly incomprehensible frustration about trans people. Jay then spoke to a security guard after exiting the bathroom, with the woman following her. “What’s going on?” the man asked. “Well, I’m asking her what her identity is,” the woman said. A man then chimed in, saying “That’s my girlfriend,” before the video cut off. In the comments, Jay said that the woman didn’t even need to use the bathroom, and she only followed her in there to harass her. The TikToker also revealed in another video that she filed a complaint against the woman, causing her to be “kicked off the property for the day.”

Karen goes viral on TikTok for complaining about homeowner’s Tigger flag – Dexerto
Karen goes viral on TikTok for complaining about homeowner’s Tigger flag TikTok: tizzybizzy92 / Pexels.com, Robbin HigginsA TikToker’s less-than-savory experience with their neighbor has gone viral on social media — all because of a cheerful flag of ‘Winnie The Pooh’s’ Tigger. “Karen” has become the unofficial term to refer to entitled people — usually, but not always, an older woman who drives her kids to soccer practice in a minivan and needs to speak to your manager. Unfortunately for one unassuming home owner, their neighbor turned out to be a total Karen… and she wasn’t about to let any of her complaints go unheard. A TikTok from user “tizzybizzy92” has gone viral for documenting an interaction with said neighbor, showing Nest footage of an older woman approaching their doorway. After answering the door, the TikToker politely greeted their neighbor, who made no bones about why she was visiting out of the blue. “I wanna talk about this… Tigger flag,” the woman began. “I don’t like it.” After giving a breathy laugh in disbelief, the owner asked, “Okay, why not?” “Now, I thought the American flag was real nice,” the neighbor explained. “I don’t say nothin’ about the shrubbery bein’ cut, I don’t say nothin’ about the backyard. But now, I don’t like that. I’m just saying, I don’t like it. It makes it look… tacky.” The TikToker was quick to point out that there is no homeowners’ association to enact rules based on minutiae, but that didn’t stop the Karen from claiming that the city had “rules” of some kind before being politely sent on her way. As for the flag in question… it’s a completely unoffensive, cute image of Tigger on a blue background, holding a flower. The insane interaction has garnered over 9.2 million views on TikTok — but according to the TikToker, the platform banned her account for posting the video, although it has been reinstated at the time of writing. Whatever the case,we can all stand to take notes on how this patient TikToker handled the situation with grace and poise in spite of the Karen’s outrageous complaint.

“Karen” calls cops on two black men for shoveling her side of the sidewalk – Dexerto
“Karen” calls cops on two black men for shoveling her side of the sidewalk TikTok/gregorymcadoryA “karen” is going viral after she called the police on two black men who shoved her side of the sidewalk after a snowstorm. Have you ever tried helping a neighbor only for your act of kindness to completely backfire? That’s what happened to two black men when they removed snow from an elderly karen’s side of the street. In a viral TikTok that has been viewed over 1.4 million times, Gregory Mcadory and his friend got into a heated argument with a woman next door that eventually needed police intervention. Luckily for the two, the issue completely backfired on the woman with the cops taking the side of the two men, but just look at what happens when they had the opportunity to press charges against her! Woman goes viral after calling cops on snow shovelers The viral video began in the midst of the confrontation with the woman putting snow back on the sidewalk after the two men had finished cleaning it up for her. “So you’re mad because we cleaned up your sidewalk?!” one of the men asked perplexingly. “It’s a public sidewalk! We cleaned it up for you.” She then accused the two of trespassing on her property despite the sidewalk being public property and the men explaining that they were trying to help her. Eventually, the woman got on the phone with the police and ended up coming a bit later, but it wasn’t exactly the response that she was hoping for. Once the police pulled up, the two revealed that this wasn’t the first time the woman called the cops on them, saying that she called once before, because the snow was hitting her grass. “What do you want done about it?” a female officer asked. “Do you want her arrested?” “Nah!” the son of the homeowner replied. “But if she does it again I’m gonna press charges! I’m tired of bullsh*t. All I did was help her out. What crime did we commit? I’m gonna give her a chance, but the next time I’m gonna press charges.” The TikTok ended a bit later with all three officers talking to the woman, but it seemed like she was not happy and continued to yell across the street. It’s not known what happened after and Gregory has yet to provide an update, but hopefully, this is the last time the police will be called over literal snowflakes.

The video has now gone viral after another user found out who the woman is. So-called ‘Karens’ have been going viral for years, with the term used by the internet for women who freak out in public or spout nasty, even racist comments at others. Usually, these incidents happen in public places – but one TikToker documented his experience of having a “Karen” in his home. In a TikTok making waves on the platform, a woman is accused of having walked into a stranger’s home just to complain. It has since been claimed, by another TikTok user thatdaneshguy, that the woman is Vibiana Molina – the Head of Business and Legal Affairs for Fox 21 TV Studios. “Karen” walked into stranger’s home The video shows the woman standing in the middle of the man’s house, before he jokingly turned the camera towards himself and said it was his “first Karen.” “You’re literally walking through my house,” he said. “I know I’m walking through your house,” the woman replied. She continued to say that she was going to report the man to the owner “If you don’t want people to walk in, don’t write entrance, rooftop third floor,” she said. When asked why she cared so much, she replied: “Because you guys have been doing this all the time.” The man points out that she could have just knocked on the door, which she claimed she did but that they had not heard it. The woman then walks away from the house and the man and gets into her car. This time, the man follows her and films her driving away while zooming in on the license plate. Writing in the caption, he explained: “Me and my friends were having a small rooftop concert. We notified ALL our surrounding neighbors including her that it would be over by 10. It was not 10. Yet, she thought it was acceptable to trespass on our property, and walk through our whole house to get to our rooftop, and began to threaten us. She was extremely hostile, threatening to call the police etc.”

“Karen” calls cops on driver after he complains about her parking – Dexerto
“Karen” calls cops on driver after he complains about her parking TIKTOK: notskykawaiA “Karen” went viral on TikTok after seemingly damaging a man’s car, before allegedly calling the police on him for complaining about her parking. In a 28-second clip shared by TikToker notskykawai, the woman was seen resting her car door on the man’s vehicle. “Are you really resting your car door on mine?” the owner asked, as he approached the driver to confront her. The woman branded a “Karen” quickly slammed her car door shut, before shouting, “Get the f**k away from me. You’re trapping me in my car, f**k you.” In response, notskykawaii said: “I’m trapping you in your car? How so? You can get out. You’re perfectly free to get out of your car. Who’s stopping you?” “You are harassing me. That’s what’s stopping me,” the woman answered. She then left her car and walked off in the opposite direction, while the TikToker responded: “That’s a really cute opinion.” In the caption of the video, which amassed over 8.6 million views, notskykawaii claimed that the furious woman “called the cops because of this.” Most TikTok users in the comments slammed the “Karen” and thought the man did nothing wrong. “The audacity of these Karens’ to really try and flip the issue on the other person,” one user wrote. “People who know they have done wrong often act aggressively when you confront them,” another added. “On your side just because she said you were trapping her in when you were by your driver’s side door,” someone else said. A few users, however, said it’s not against the law to rest your car door on someone’s car. “Is it against the law to rest your car door on someone else’s door as long as there’s no damage? Who is the Karen?” one commented. “Why is resting the car door such an issue if there is no mark or damage? Honestly, it is normal here,” another added.

“Karen” attacks pregnant woman at Walgreens for getting vaccinated – Dexerto
“Karen” attacks pregnant woman at Walgreens for getting vaccinated TikTok: bkim1994A pregnant woman who was waiting in line to get a vaccine in Walgreens was verbally attacked by an anti-vaxxer who would not leave her alone. On May 4, a pregnant woman named Brittany Kim went to a local Walgreens in Lafayette, Louisiana to get a Tdap vaccine, which prevents tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (commonly known as whooping cough). This is recommended for pregnant people to prevent potentially life-threatening illnesses in both parents and babies. Brittany, who was 33 weeks pregnant when the clip was filmed, posted a video from when she was waiting in line to get the vaccine, when a woman now being dubbed a “Karen” walked up to her to tell her not to get it. In the video, Brittany is filming the other woman who comes up to her after finishing her transaction with the pharmacist. She asked Brittany what vaccine she would be getting, to which Brittany replied it was none of her business. “What makes you think you need a vaccine while you’re pregnant?” the woman asked. Kim replied, “I take medical advice from my doctor who went to medical school, not a woman in the line at Walgreens who apparently can’t even take her prescription medication according to directions. Please stop talking to me.” The woman didn’t seem to bothered by Brittany’s comment as she continued to express her opinion. The conversation continued for several seconds before the woman finally walked away like Brittany had requested. Brittany captioned her post: “I was already filming because she had previously said something to me when I initially checked in and I could tell she wasn’t done. “And ironically enough, while I was waiting she was in an argument with the pharmacist about how she was running out of a certain medication too quickly. It turns out she was taking more than directed because I guess she cant read. And yet she’s a vaccine expert!” The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says, “All pregnant women should get the Tdap vaccine during each pregnancy. The vaccine helps your body make antibodies to protect you from disease. These antibodies pass to your fetus and can protect your newborn until he or she can get the Tdap vaccine at 2 months old.” The CDC adds, “This vaccine is recommended during every pregnancy, regardless of how long it has been since you previously received the Tdap vaccine. If you did not get a Tdap vaccine during your pregnancy and have never gotten it, CDC recommends that you get the vaccine immediately after giving birth. “It is safe for women to receive most vaccines right after giving birth, even while breastfeeding.” Viewers are sending their support After having only been up on TikTok for 6 days, over 1000 people have expressed their thoughts at the event in the comment section, with the majority being on Brittany’s side. One person said: “THATS MY GIRL RIGHT THERE!!! You said exactly what you needed to say. I am so sorry that happened to you.” Another wrote: “The way she kept saying “you have a choice,” while harassing you for your choice.” “I’m pregnant and am a nurse and I’m fuming!!! I would have thrown horrible words at her for approaching me like this. You composed yourself well,” a third person wrote.

“Karen” Burger King manager bans TikToker for using RC Car to order – Dexerto
“Karen” Burger King manager bans TikToker for using RC Car to order TikTok: The_Blue_CarA “Karen” Burger King manager has banned a TikToker from their store after the man used his RC Car to place an order for a Spiderverse Whopper. With over a billion monthly users, TikTok’s For You Page has a wide range of content from users all around the world. Content featuring fast food is quite popular, whether it involves a DoorDash driver stealing Little Caesar’s pizza or a McDonald’s worker making 50 sandwiches at 3 am. TikToker Kael Shoerlin, aka the_blue_car, drives his blue RC Car into various places to place an order — but a recent attempt to get something from Burger King led to him getting banned from the restaurant. TikToker banned from Burger King for using RC Car to order Uploaded on May 28, 2023, Kael’s video shows him driving his car into the local Burger King and getting the attention of one of the customers who begins helping him with his order. However, the restaurant’s manager on duty had an issue with him driving the car into the store. “I have to call my GM, not knowing where it came from this might be a problem,” said the manager before apparently calling the police. Kael and his friend went down to Burger King just before the police arrived and mentioned in the video that the manager attempted to confiscate the RC car. “The other employees wouldn’t let him take it,” he said while calling the manager a Karen in the caption. “Burger King manager, Karen, doesn’t let Henry get that yummy freaking red burger.” The two behind the RC Car didn’t get in trouble with the police, but the manager did decide to “trespass” the guys from the Burger King — effectively banning them from the store unless they want to get arrested.

Kardashians finally reveal whether they’ve forgiven Tristan Thompson – Dexerto
Kardashians finally reveal whether they’ve forgiven Tristan Thompson InstagramTo soothe awkwardness Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson have a conversation about his infidelity. For the first time on The Kardashians, Khloe addresses Tristan’s third child with Maralee Nichols. Khloe and Tristan Thompson started dating in 2016 and the couple has had a very public and complicated relationship. Tristan has cheated multiple times on his baby mama. His cheating scandals shook the internet back in 2018 and still are a huge part of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. He has a strong history of being unfaithful towards Khloe throughout their relationship. Khloe finally called quits in 2021, when Maralee Nichols came forward with a pregnancy while Tristan was also expecting another child with Khloe. Has Khloe Kardashian forgiven Tristan again? Khloe somehow always manages to look past Tristan’s mistakes. She has expressed multiple times during The Kardashians that she will not be getting back together with Tristan. However, he still remains the father of her kids. Khloe said, “I just don’t have the energy for issues.” In season 4 episode 8, we finally get to see the two sit down to discuss their personal lives and have an open conversation on the topic. Khloe again reminds Tristan about their relationship boundary and discusses his future relations with the Kardashian family. Khloe said, “In this family, if you do something to one of us, it affects everyone. And they are entitled to their feelings. It’s not some small thing that happened. But time has gone by and it’s done. My son is here, your other son is here and some of their emotions have settled down — not forgotten, not forgiven, any of that — just settled down.” She expresses how therapy has made her realize that everyone has their pace for growing up and maturing. It seems that Khloe might be waiting for Tristan to mature for the sake of her family. Tristan, on the other hand, expresses how he regrets his mistakes. He said, “I am at a place where I can really see and own to the mistakes I made. I don’t think years ago I knew the damage that I probably caused.” However, he has said similar things in the past as well and only his actions can let us know of his sincerity. What surprised most viewers was the mention of model Maralee Nichols and Tristan’s son Theo. Everyone expected it to be a sensitive topic for Khloe but were shocked to see her bring it up first.

“Karen” arrested after calling cops on five-year-old daughter – Dexerto
“Karen” arrested after calling cops on five-year-old daughter TikTok/justin_elmoreA mother who called the police on her five-year-old daughter for not listening to her was arrested instead after a confrontation with an officer. Sad as it is, the cops often get called for all sorts of ridiculous reasons that have nothing to do with police business, but one officer wasn’t going to have any tomfoolery from a “Karen” on his watch. In a video going viral on social media, a mother called the police on her daughter, complaining that the five-year-old was refusing to listen to her and pitching a fit. According to the mom, she told her daughter that if she continued, she would “go to jail for acting like a crazy person,” much to the shock of the officer on the scene who was taken aback by the situation. Mom calls cops to arrest five-year-old daughter after meltdown After learning that the girl was just five years old, the officer let loose on the mother, accusing her of making her daughter afraid of the police because she didn’t know how to parent. “I know how to parent, she doesn’t know how to listen,” the mom shot back. “Well, there’s clearly some kind of gap there if she’s not listening to you,” the cop responded and took issue with the woman recording him. “What are you recording me for?” The mother then explained she wanted to record the incident to play it back to her daughter to explain how she got the cops called on her, which seemed odd to the policeman who requested to see an ID. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the woman claimed she didn’t have an ID on her, but said her name was “Karen” while refusing to cough up her last name or any other details. Instead, she demanded the officer ask the young girl for her last name, because she wasn’t the one in trouble. Karen arrested for misusing 911 after calling police on daughter “You’ve called us four times, this makes it the fifth!” the officer exclaimed, beginning to lose patience. “You’re not going to tell me how to do my job. Misuse of 9-1-1 by Georgia law is illegal. Do you understand that?” Once more, even when threatened with arrest, the woman refused to share her last name and was swiftly handcuffed. “Karen” continued to be uncooperative and wouldn’t unlock her phone to call someone to take care of her child while she was arrested. The TikTok comments on the video applauded the officer while shaming the mother for her actions and potentially giving the young girl “trauma” from the incident. “His patience is amazing,” said one user. “That’s gonna traumatize that baby forever..she’s definitely smarter than her mom though,” remarked another. As wild as this was, it’s not the only ridiculous arrest to make headlines lately. Last month, police in Mexico arrested a Chucky doll and its owner after the duo reportedly terrorized members of the public with a knife.

Kanye West’s daughter shows off diamond teeth as rapper debuts titanium dentures – Dexerto
Kanye West’s daughter shows off diamond teeth as rapper debuts titanium dentures TikTok: kimandnorthNorth West, Kanye West’s 10-year-old daughter with Kim Kardashian, took to TikTok to show off her new diamond teeth right as the rapper unveiled his new grill. Over the last few years, North West has gained quite a following on TikTok through a shared account with her mom Kim Kardashian. She’s “spilled the tea” about her dyslexia on live streams, and even transformed into her dad Kanye West in a viral video alongside Kim. On January 17, 2024, North West took to the app to show off her diamond grill right as Kanye began showing off his new titanium dentures. North West shows off diamond teeth on TikTok While Kanye was making headlines for his new grill, his 10-year-old daughter North West went viral on TikTok after showing off her new diamond teeth as well. Seemingly posted by her mom Kim, the clip shows a handful of pictures taken by North with the caption: “The things, my daughter makes on my phone ha ha.” Rapper Kanye West showed off his new titanium grills on January 17, with many believing that he completely removed his real teeth in the process. It was quickly debunked by Complex, but critics still shared their thoughts about the change. It’s unknown when North received her new grill, or if they’re even permanently placed on her teeth. We’ll have to wait to see photos in the future to see if she still has the diamonds on her teeth.

Kara Del Toro exposes secret behind Instagram influencers’ perfect ‘mirror’ selfies – Dexerto
Kara Del Toro exposes secret behind Instagram influencers’ perfect ‘mirror’ selfies Instagram, @karajewelllWith social media discovering that Instagram influencers’ mirror selfies are apparently faked, Kara Del Toro (known as Kara Jewel on TikTok) has revealed the secret behind mirrorless, perfect ‘mirror selfies.’ The mirror selfie has become a ubiquitous feature of the modern world, as the MySpace bathroom selfie trend of yesteryear has evolved into millions of dollars spent on sponsoring influencers’ Instagram mirror shots. But, in what appears to be a dystopian revelation of sorts, social media is discovering that the spotless, high-definition selfies scattered across curated IG grids are, in fact, faked. Following a Reddit post on r/Instagramreality, Twitter has joined the confusion — wondering if it’s true that influencers’ perfect mirror selfies don’t actually involve… mirrors. The person best-suited to answer that question? Influencer Kara Del Toro herself, who boasts over 1 million followers on Instagram (as well as another 1-plus million on TikTok). In a detailed video, she puts all of Reddit and Twitter’s questions to rest — perfect, spotless rest. i swear to god u guys are making this up bc there’s NO WAY https://t.co/RvC7l4Iv2h — sarah lugor! (@sarahlugor) March 14, 2021 As seen in the original Twitter reaction to Reddit’s confusion, people are visibly confused. Reddit’s u/ffrhcp brought the information up, explaining the discomfort they’ve felt after discovering the mirrorless aspect of mirror selfies: “my life has not known peace.” On Twitter, others responded by saying “what” and, more colorfully, “I swear to god u guys are making this up, bc there’s NO WAY.” Well, on the contrary, there is a way, and Kara has the expertise to share precisely what that way is. People have dug up an older TikTok of hers, in which she reveals the truth behind these “perfect” mirror selfies: “There is no mirror.” For a series called “secrets bloggers don’t want you to know,” Kara goes through pictures of her own mirror selfies and explains why the images all look so perfect. There are never any smudges and there seems to be a mirror in every room because there is no mirror, it’s just a separate phone or camera set up with a timer. Additionally, Kara shares that the phone is just used as a “prop,” a sentiment that many people seem to understand. Not only are mirror selfies just an incredibly comfortable sight on social media by this point, but holding a phone also means you don’t have to worry about what you’re doing with your hands. View this post on Instagram So there you have it, if you’ve ever wondered why influencers seem to take spotless mirror selfies against every possible background you could think of — it’s not because they have incredible cleaning solutions or portable mirrors. It’s because they’re not using mirrors. Like the magic tricks at a child’s birthday party, it’s all an illusion.

Kanye West & wife banned for life from Venice boat company after rapper is photographed pantless – Dexerto
Kanye West & wife banned for life from Venice boat company after rapper is photographed pantless Instagram: rapKanye West and his wife Bianca Censori have been banned for life from a Venice, Italy, boat company after he was pantless on board. Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori have spent their fair share of time in Italy this summer, as they’ve been photographed in peculiar Yeezy-inspired outfits. Not only that, but the two have been walking the Italian cobblestones barefoot, leaving their couture at home and fans questioning their controversial attire. Though their clothing choices have caused quite a stir, nothing has permeated the internet faster than West’s recent photograph of him pantless while on a boat in Venice, Italy, with his wife, Censori. Fans of Kanye West call him and Censori “dingy” after a lewd act in Venice, Italy The ‘Jesus Walks’ rapper has taken his attire choices to another level, as he was recently photographed on a Venetian river taxi with his pants down and shirt untucked. Though he and his wife Censori were canoodling at the time, the people of Venice, Italy, regarded his pantless moment as a lewd act, causing both West and his wife to be banned from boarding that particular boat company. Taken aback by the indecency of the rapper and his wife, Venezia Turismo Motoscafi, who rented the boat to the couple, reportedly told Daily Mail Australia that the two are “no longer” welcome to use any of their services indefinitely. The company also explained that had the boat’s captain known that West was pantless, he would have stopped the ride immediately, saying, “The driver had to keep a lookout for traffic and did not see these obscenities. If this had happened, he would have immediately disembarked and reported the transgressors to those in authority.” Motoscafi continued their statement regarding the explicit moment, saying, “We completely dissociate ourselves from such acts and behavior — Mr. West and his wife will certainly no longer be welcome on board our company’s boats.” Fans of West have also not taken the situation lightly, calling both he and Censori “dingy.” Another fan commented on the news, saying, “When will some people learn that some countries have laws, please respect them,” while another added their thoughts on Censori’s submission to the Yeezy designer, saying, “She looks so unhappy and exhausted all the time… blink twice for help.” West nor Censori have commented on the incident. They have also not made a statement regarding their ban from the Venetian boat company. However, fans have quickly assumed that the two will use their own boat in the future while in Venice, Italy, as the couple weren’t banned entirely from the ‘City of Water.’

Kanye West’s bizarre sabbatical goes viral on Twitter: “No nut November on steroids” – Dexerto
Kanye West’s bizarre sabbatical goes viral on Twitter: “No nut November on steroids” YouTube: Nick Cannon/TwitterKanye West has revealed he’s going on a “verbal fast” for a month but hinted at staying on Twitter, which has brought about some interesting reactions. Over the last few weeks, West has found himself under severe scrutiny for comments he’s made toward the Jewish community – with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian labeling it as “hate speech.” The Chicago-born rapper has received multiple bans from Twitter and Instagram over his posts, he’s lost his Yeezy deal with Adidas, been dropped by his agency, and cut ties with Def Jam Records. While some users have campaigned for him to receive a permanent ban from Twitter, West’s account is back active as of early November. And, as a result, he’s using it to inform fans of a “cleanse” that he’s going on. Kanye West goes viral with November sabbatical tweet On November 3, the 45-year-old stated that he is “not talking to nooobody for a month” as he laid out his plans for the next 30 days. “I’m taking a 30-day cleanse. A verbal fast. No alcohol, no adult films, no intercourse. In God we praise, Amen,” West posted. “But my Twitter still lit.” The post took on a life of its own, racking up over 250,000 likes at the time of writing, as well as over 16,000 replies. While some fans were supportive of West’s move, not everyone took it too seriously. “This basically just no nut November on steroids,” said one, referring to the viral NNN trend. “Hello Mr. West, the caption technically means you WILL be talking to people,” said another. “Next time people stop talking to me cause I say some unhinged s**t I’m also gonna call it a verbal fast,” commented another. West has already posted 11 times since putting out his post about a cleanse, so his Twitter clearly isn’t going anywhere – unless he gets banned again.

Kanye West subreddit becomes Taylor Swift page as fans turn their back on Ye – Dexerto
Kanye West subreddit becomes Taylor Swift page as fans turn their back on Ye Taylor Swift/Kanye WestKanye West has seemingly burned every last bridge with even his most dedicated fans, who have now turned the popular r/Kanye subreddit into a Taylor Swift page. Ye’s fanbase is known to be one of the most loyal of any public figure, often defending the Chicago rapper for years throughout his multiple controversies, but are also happy to criticize when he goes too far. However, even his stans have completely abandoned him after his recent outburst, which included comments like, “I like Hitler,” during a guest appearance on the conspiracy theory show Infowars. Now, his followers have morphed the popular subreddit r/Kanye into a page dedicated to Taylor Swift – once Kanye’s rival. Kanye West fans change subreddit into dedicated Taylor Swift page Kanye and TSwift have beef dating all the way back to the 2009 Video Music Awards show when Ye created one of the internet’s earliest memes by grabbing the microphone away from the singer during her acceptance speech for best Best Female Video of the year for her hit song “You Belong with Me.” Since then there’s been bad blood between the two and their ravenous fanbases. However, it seems that with West’s most-recent meltdown, his fans are waiving the white flag in favor of Taylor. In a Reddit post that went massively viral, a Kanye fan stated: “This is now a Taylor Swift Subreddit. We had a good run fellas,” with a picture of the 32-year-old singer-songwriter. In the comment section, tons of Ye stans admitted they were too harsh on Swift and even regret their behavior toward her. One fan said, “I absolutely loathed her back in 2016/17 just because I took Ye’s side in their beef. Kinda regret it now that I like some of her music and it’s awfully clear that Kanye is a horrible person.” Another added, “It’s Ye. Hi. I’m the problem. It’s Ye.” Although Mr. West’s fans have stood by him through a lot over the years, it’s clear this is entirely too far, even for his biggest supporters in the past.

Kanye West takes swipe at Pete Davidson after Kim Kardashian breakup – Dexerto
Kanye West takes swipe at Pete Davidson after Kim Kardashian breakup After nine months of dating, Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian ended their relationship, and Kanye took the opportunity to throw shade on Instagram. Davidson and Kardashian met on the set of Saturday Night Live where, during an episode where Kim was the host, the two shared a kiss during a sketch. Later, the two would confirm their relationship before appearing together at public outings. Kanye – Kim’s ex-husband and father of her children – would take several shots at the couple on social media and in one of his songs, ‘ Eazy’. A line from the track reads, “God saved me from that crash. Just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s *ss.” And on August 6, 2022, the news broke that Davidson and Kardashian had ended their relationship. E! reported that the two wished to remain friends, but that long distance and busy schedules “made it really difficult to maintain a relationship.” Kanye jabs at Pete Davidson on Instagram While he has once again deleted all of his Instagram posts, Kanye has used the platform several times over the past year to express his feelings about his wife, Drake, Kid Cudi, and other celebrities. The rapper’s account has 16.3million followers but only a single post. Uncaptioned, Kanye’s sole post is a mock-up of a newspaper with the headline “Skete Davidson death at age 28.” The rather ominous post has 1.8million likes at the time of reporting. Below the headline in small print is another diss, this time aimed at former collaborator Kid Cudi. It reads, “Kid Cudi meant to play funeral but fearful of bottle throwers.” This is in reference to the 2022 Rolling Loud performance where Kanye was meant to headline only to back out a week before the show. Kid Cudi replaced West as the headliner, but walked off stage in the middle of his set after a member of the crowd threw a water bottle at his face. Neither Pete nor Cudi responded to the post at the time of writing.

Kanye West shuts down requests for him to do an NFT, for now – Dexerto
Kanye West shuts down requests for him to do an NFT, for now WikiMedia Commons: David Shakbone/Larva LabsKanye West has hit back at requests for him to produce his own line of NFTs, saying he’s focused on changing the real world for now. Over the last year and a bit, influencers across the globe have increasingly been dipping toes in the world of Cryptocurrency and stretching into NFTs. These non-fungible tokens have spread across the internet like wildfire, with plenty of big names putting their brand towards their own line of them – be it in the form of selfies, cartoon apes, or a card that’ll get buyers exclusive access to merch and things in the future. One big name who won’t be getting into NFTs, however, is Kanye West. The Chicago rapper, who is reportedly working on a follow-up to his DONDA album, has seemingly had requests to put his name towards a token, but he has no plans to do so. On January 31, Ye dropped a not-so-subtle post on his Instagram that contained not one, but two messages to stop asking him to do an NFT right now. “Stop asking me to do NFTs, I’m not finna co-sign…,” the rap star posted in his caption. “For now, I’m not on that wave. I make real music and products in the real world.” Expanding on what he’s doing in the world, he added: “My focus is on building real products in the real world. Real food, real clothes, real shelter. Do not ask me to do a f**king NFT. Ye. Ask me later.” View this post on Instagram While the message may come across as pretty brutal to some, Ye has clearly left the door open to do something in the future. As noted, he is reportedly working on a new album – DONDA 2 – and it could be the case that once he’s done with that, he’ll put his creative genius to work in the world of NFTs.

Kanye West slams Nicki Minaj for refusing to clear song for ‘Vultures’ album Flickr: NRK P3; Youtube: Nicki MinajKanye West slammed Nicki Minaj for denying his request to clear the song “New Body” for his new album Vultures. Kanye West readies his brand new album Vultures, a joint venture with Ty Dolla Sign. The record, originally set to drop on December 15, reportedly features collaborations with Quavo, Chris Brown, Youth Thug, and his daughter North West. There’s one collaborator that will not be happening, however. Nicki Minaj initially appeared on a song called “New Body,” which was previously performed three years ago. On December 14, Ye posted a text to Minaj, in which he wrote, “May I call you about clearing ‘New Body’ on the new album.” After performing at a Jingle Ball party in Atlanta, Minaj responded to his request. Nicki Minaj responded to Ye’s request on TikTok Nicki Minaj took to TikTok live to respond to Kanye West’s request to have a song called “New Body” cleared for his new album Vultures. “Now regarding Kanye, that train has left the station,” she said. “No disrespect in any way, I just put out a brand new album. Why would I put out a song that’s been out for 3 years? Come on guys.” Kanye West slams Nicki Minaj for denying the song clearance In response, Kanye West reportedly slammed the rapper for refusing to allow the song to appear on his new album Vultures. “I made that girl rewrite her verse 3 times for ‘Monster.’ I supported her career. So I don’t know what it is,” he said. As of this writing, Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s joint album Vultures has yet to surface online. There has not been an update on the release date or the tracklist either. For more entertainment news, keep it locked to Dexerto.

Kanye West set to purchase Parler after Twitter & Instagram bans – Dexerto
Kanye West set to purchase Parler after Twitter & Instagram bans YouTube: Nick CannonKanye West has entered into an agreement to purchase the “free speech” social media platform, Parler, just days after being banned from Instagram and Twitter. Kanye West has been a significant part of the entertainment industry for over a decade with his rap music and apparel, notably his ‘Yeezy’ shoe line. West, now known as Ye, has also taken a bold stance against censorship that he says happens on social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter — where he is now banned. Taking things into his own hands, it has been revealed that Ye has entered into an agreement to purchase Parler, a social media platform that promotes “free speech.” Kanye West set to purchase Parler Parlement Technologies, the parent company of Parler, revealed the acquisition in a press release on October 17, 2022. In it, they explain that the proposed acquisition will “assure Parler a future role in creating an uncancelable ecosystem where all voices are welcome.” Kanye said: “In a world where conservative opinions are considered to be controversial we have to make sure we have the right to freely express ourselves.” Under the terms of their agreement, the press release says that both parties have the intention to enter a definitive purchase agreement soon, and expect to close on the sale within the next few months. West isn’t the first big name to enter into an agreement to purchase a social media platform in the last few months. Back in April, Tesla founder Elon Musk revealed his interest in buying Twitter, although it has yet to go through in the months since. It’s quite possible that Kanye’s deal with Parler could suffer from a similar fate — so we’ll have to wait to see what happens in the next few months.

Kanye West shades Mark Zuckerberg after being kicked from Instagram over “anti-Semitic” post – Dexerto
Kanye West shades Mark Zuckerberg after being kicked from Instagram over “anti-Semitic” post Kanye West has taken shots at Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg after Ye had his account restricted following a post that users are calling “antisemitic”. The Donda rapper and polarizing icon Kanye West wields his Instagram profile as a weapon. Where celebrities often share photos of lavish vacations or staged photo advertisements, West’s posts are normally aimed at other stars. Earlier this year he took shots at Pete Davidson and Kid Cudi, and he even went as far as to leak Drake’s home address. He has also taken to the platform to share multi-post rants about his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and their joint parenting ventures. Now, after posting text conversations between himself and other players in the rap game, West has had access to his Instagram restricted. One of the posts contained a text exchange with himself and Diddy where Ye claimed ‘Puff’ was being manipulated by Jews. Many comments claimed the post was fueled by “anti-Semitic” ideology, and the American Jewish Committee went as far as to call out Kanye’s actions in a post of their own. Kanye goes after Mark Zuckerberg The post was taken down by Meta shortly after it was posted resulting in Kanye West’s account being restricted. The rapper then jumped on Twitter, a platform he hadn’t posted on since November 2020. After losing the 2020 Presidential Election – despite having voted for himself – Kanye’s last post before his Twitter hiatus was a picture of himself with the caption ‘KANYE 2024’. And almost two years later, his first post back would be a hat with ‘2024’ embroidered on the bill. He would quickly follow this post up with a tweet jabbing at Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. With Meta being the parent company of Instagram, it only made sense for Kanye to blame the company’s owner for his account being restricted. “Look at this Mark. How you gone kick me off Instagram?” Ye asked. He also shared a photo of the two holding microphones performing a duet. At the time of writing, Kanye hasn’t posted anything further on his Instagram or Twitter. However, when he regains access to his Instagram, you can be sure he will be back to posting text exchanges as well as promoting his presidential campaign for the 2024 election.

Kanye West plots 100,000-acre ‘Droam’ city in Middle East – Dexerto
Kanye West plots 100,000-acre ‘Droam’ city in Middle East Wikimedia Commons, Jason PersseKanye West shared plans to build an immense 100,000-acre city somewhere in the Middle East. Kanye West infamously reveals plans that never see the light of day. From unreleased, eventually leaked albums to video games, the rapper’s announcements too often lead to nowhere. If you’re a diehard fan, you’ve come to expect that things may not shake out. In his latest venture, West eyes a big land project overseas somewhere in the Middle East. A staggering 100,000-acre city is in the works, as he revealed initial plans on Twitter/X on December 20. The city will reportedly be called Droam, and he’s currently seeking to fill positions for project managers, architects, engineers, and builders. Kanye West in talks to buy property in Middle East A luxury real estate agent named Marcel Remus claims that Kanye West took some time out of a recent Dubai trip to talk about buying property. “I just had several meetings last week with superstar Kanye West. We both stayed at the iconic Atlantis The Royal,” Remus said. While it’s certainly possible this trip has to deal directly with Ye’s visionary utopia, it could very well be a new vacation home or getaway. Many celebrities, such as Victoria Beckham, are known to have other houses all over the world. Fans likely won’t get their hopes up too much, especially as even Kanye West’s new joint album Vultures with Ty Dolla Sign has yet to be released. (By the way, rumor has it that the album will drop on New Year’s Eve.) Ye isn’t a stranger to buying random properties. As recently as March 2023, he bought an LA church location for a cool $1.5 million and left it in disarray. As ambitious as it is, Droam could just be another fanciful pipedream.

Kanye West returns to social media with bizarre ‘mind control’ rant – Dexerto
Kanye West returns to social media with bizarre ‘mind control’ rant American rapper Kanye West (who now wishes to be known as ‘Ye’) has returned to social media after a mere seven day hiatus – and he has an odd message for his fans. Kanye made his comeback with a strange series of Twitter videos, some of which had no sound at all. One of these videos contained a nine-minute spiel from the rapper, where he discussed what he believed to be “mind control” in regards to social media. “I just want to talk about mind control,” West said. “You know, when people try to influence you through social media and try to tell you what to do, or if you post something that’s positive on Instagram, it gets taken down if it’s not a part of a bigger agenda.” He also alleged that his IQ was 133 points, and stated that he is the ‘best living recording artist’ because ‘spirits’ flow through him – or, rather ‘us.’ Read More: FaZe Banks responds to assault allegations following Shane Dawson’s docuseries over Jake Paul – “They were Mensa level, 133, 98th percentile – like, straight up Sigmund Freud, Tesla Vibes,” he claimed. “When people try to tell me what to do, I feel like they’re touching my brain.” Kanye’s return to Twitter follows his meeting with President Donald Trump on October 12, as well as his highly controversial speech during a Saturday Night Live show in September. Kanye received a slew of criticism for his pro-trump rant during the show, which may have inspired his social media hiatus. Kanye has also changed his profile picture to a picture of a globe, centered on Africa.

Kanye West in talks with TikTok about “JesusTok” vision – Dexerto
Kanye West in talks with TikTok about “JesusTok” vision YouTube: BigBoyTV / TikTok[jwplayer ZXB9LNVP]Rapper Kanye West surprised fans on August 21 when he revealed he has been in talks with TikTok about bringing his latest idea to life. The star had previously claimed that he had a “vision” about making a religious version of the app. The 43-year-old business mogul made his groundbreaking debut in 2004, and has gone on to win over 21 Grammys. The artist is notorious for his eccentricity, and pushing new grounds with his decades-long career in music. However on August 21, the musician unveiled what might be his biggest project yet when he announced a potential collaboration with TikTok. The musician stated on social media that he had a vision to make a “Christian version” of the viral app. Kanye West shares vision of “JesusTok” The chart-topping artist has not been shy about his close relationship with religion. In 2019, he went viral after hosting his iconic Sunday Service at Coachella festival in California. And in October, he dropped a Gospel album titled Jesus Is King. On August 21, Kanye claimed he was now in communication with TikTok to bring his faith to the app. In the social media post, the 43-year-old excitedly told his followers that he would keep them updated. “WE GOT IN CONTACT WITH TIK TOK PRAISE THE LORD…I’LL KEEP EVERYONE UPDATED,” the tweet exclaimed. https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1296876973419986944 The announcement follows tweets posted to his account on August 17, where he explained to followers that he was “disturbed” by content he saw while watching the app with his daughter. West said that he had a vision for a new version of the platform called “JesusTok.” https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1295458320547901441 The business mogul then detailed the project as being a “A CHRISTIAN MONITORED VERSION THAT FEELS SAFE FOR YOUNG CHILDREN.” Going by his latest announcement, the app company has responded to his idea. https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1295459472735793152 At the time of writing, TikTok has not officially made any statements as to whether they are in talks with West, or considering his “JesusTok” idea. However, the artist has dipped his toes in many ventures before, from fashion design to filmmaking. Perhaps his next big project will be the hit app.

Kanye West just changed his name, Prince-style – Dexerto
Kanye West just changed his name, Prince-style Notable hip-hop artist Kanye West has just changed his name, much in the style of late music icon Prince – or, rather, ‘The Artist Formerly Known as Prince.’ Kanye revealed the change in a Tweet, which stated that he wishes to be known as ‘Ye’ henceforth. “The being formally known as Kanye West,” he wrote. “I am YE.” The change shouldn’t come as too great of a surprise, as the rapper has used the title as a nickname for years, and even named one of his albums after the term in June. While the presentation of Ye’s name change was a very obvious nod to Prince’s similar change of title, no other reasons for the switch have yet been revealed. His Twitter handle has since reflected the change in kind, as well as his Instagram account, to boot. This change comes just before the release of Ye’s newest album, ‘Yandhi,’ which is to be released alongside his appearance on late night show Saturday Night Live. Ye’s presentation on SNL follows Ariana Grande’s declination of an appearance on the program due to “emotional reasons,” following the death of her ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller. While Ye will appear as a musical guest on the show and will likely debut a new song from the album, he is also set to appear in one of SNL’s renowned comedy sketches, headed by Star Wars actor Adam Driver. ‘Yandhi‘ follows Lil Wayne’s long-awaited album ‘Tha Carter V,’ which just released after five years in the making.

Kanye West deletes Twitter and Instagram accounts after weeks of controversy – Dexerto
Kanye West deletes Twitter and Instagram accounts after weeks of controversy US recording artist and fashion designer Kanye West has deactivated both his Twitter and Instagram pages, following weeks of controversial posts and public appearances. The Hip-Hop legend re-emerged on Twitter earlier in 2018, and immediately made headlines for his support of conservative politician Candace Owens, and later explaining he “loves” US president Donald Trump. His recent album rollout came amid plenty of fuss stirred up by an appearance on TMZ, where he stated slavery “sounds like a choice to me”, and doubled down on his support of Trump. He then announced, again via Twitter, that he would be releasing another album entitled ‘YANDHI’, following his performance on Saturday Night Live – where he made yet another speech, explaining both his political and philosophical ideas. The album never came, instead being delayed until November 23, as West made more controversial comments on Twitter, including calling for the abolishment of the 13th amendment, which he later clarified, saying he meant to say “amend”, not abolish. As the 21 time grammy winner heads out to Africa to finish his upcoming album, he has now completely deactivated his Twitter and Instagram, perhaps turning his full attention to his music. After his controversial posts and appearance on SNL, other stars including Lana Del Rey, Snoop Dogg and more hit out at Kanye for his comments. SNL cast member Pete Davidson also spoke about the musician on the latest episode, saying that “Being mentally ill is not an excuse to act like a jackass.” Kanye recently spoke out against the psychological impact of social media, revealing that he had spoken to Twitter founder Jack Dorsey about removing likes and followers from the platform. He previously deactivated his accounts in 2017, before returning in April 2018, so he may be gone for now, but Ye will no doubt be back.

Kanye West finally joins TikTok and he’s gone viral already – Dexerto
Kanye West finally joins TikTok and he’s gone viral already TIKTOK: YeKanye West has made his TikTok debut, and he’s already gone viral with his first video jamming along to his own music. The rapper joined the social media app over the weekend, setting up a verified account under his nickname, “Ye.” He uploaded his first video on September 18, much to the delight of his fans. The almost three-minute-long clip showed Kanye riding in the passenger seat of a car, while songs from his 2019 album Jesus Is King were playing on the speakers, including ‘Selah,’ ‘Closed on Sunday’ and ‘God Is.’ The video has already amassed over 711,000 views, and 176,000 likes, while Kanye’s TikTok account has over 221,000 followers. The ‘Eazy’ rapper himself has yet to follow anyone, and his profile picture remains a plain black background. Kanye shared the same footage on his Instagram Stories, along with videos of him playing classic songs from Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Bill Withers and Sam Cooke, and Chris Stapleton. Fans react to Kanye West joining TikTok Thousands of fans took to the comment section to express their joy over the rap icon joining TikTok. “This has made my day. Welcome to TikTok ye hope you post more!” one fan commented. “The Goat Is Here,” another one wrote. “Yeezy season approaching,” a third fan shared. “The queen has fallen but the king has risen,” someone else added. Others fans were loving the rapper’s first video. “The man listens to himself what a W,” one fan wrote. “That singing through the hallelujah was just heavenly,” another one commented. “TikTok of the year,” someone else added. The rapper’s TikTok debut was significantly tame, considering his history of controversial posts on social media. Last month, Kanye took a jab at Pete Davidson on Instagram, by sharing a mock-up of a newspaper with a headline that read: “Skete Davidson death at age 28.”

He has even been encouraging fans to write his name on their ballots, rather than selecting one of the more established candidates. The way 2020 is going, though, we won’t rule a successful Kanye campaign out just yet. Away from politics, fans can certainly get excited because, barring any last minute issues, a Kanye West X Joe Rogan podcast appears to be just round the corner.

Kanye West speaks out after daughter North’s TikTok account goes viral TikTok: kimandnorth / Wikimedia Commons: David ShankboneRapper Kanye West has responded to his daughter North having a viral TikTok account, saying he doesn’t want his children to be on the popular app without his permission. In the past few years, short-form video platform TikTok has seen countless celebrities make an account to join in on the viral fun.

North features in most of the posts, and she make a variety of different videos including popular trends and challenges, makeup, and more. The bio reads: “Me and my bestie. Managed by an adult.” However, North’s father Kanye West has now spoken out about his thoughts on the viral account in an interview with Hollywood Unlocked. West, according to Entertainment Tonight, explained that there was an incident where North asked to show him something inside the house, and he had to tell her he couldn’t go inside. “My daughter wanted me to go inside,” he said. “I was like, I am the richest Black man and North’s father, right, and the security was able to stop me from going into the room with my daughter and that had not been defined.” Click here if TikTok doesn’t load “And I am hearing that the new boyfriend is actually in the house that I can’t even go to.

And I said, ‘I need you to go and say these two things.’ Security ain’t going to be in between me and my children, and my children ain’t going to be on TikTok without my permission.” North recently went viral after she went live on TikTok without permission from her mother, leading to Kim having to tell her to end the stream. The comments on North and Kim’s shared TikTok account remain disabled, but each video continues to garner tens of millions of views.

Kanye West brags about getting Pete Davidson to deactivate Instagram account – Dexerto
Kanye West brags about getting Pete Davidson to deactivate Instagram account Pete Davidson/Kanye WestRapper Kanye West boasted about Pete Davidson deleting his Instagram account after the comedian briefly returned to the platform for the first time in four years, which led to Kanye fans flooding his comments. Kanye West has been publicly feuding with Saturday Night Live cast member Pete Davidson since he began publicly dating Ye’s ex, Kim Kardashian. The rapper’s dislike of The King of Staten Island star even bled over into his music on his new song Eazy, where he rhymed, “God saved me from that crash / Just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s a**.” Now, Kanye is continuing his battle against the SNL star. Kanye “runs” Pete Davidson off Instagram The 44-year-old rapper posted to Instagram on February 24, claiming he “ran” Davidson off Instagram. Read More: Did Jake Paul & Julia Rose break up? – Davidson had reactivated his Instagram for the first time since 2018, only to deactivate quickly after his very first post. Pete’s comments were flooded with Kanye West fans telling the comedian to “find God,” and called him “Skete,” the nickname Kanye had given him amid the drama. “Ran Skete off the gram, tell your mother I changed your name for life,” Ye wrote alongside a screenshot of Pete’s account. Kanye even included a screenshot of the comments that flooded Pete’s page, which has since been taken down. YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul even chimed in on the drama, threatening to “slap” Pete the next time he sees him, and said “Kanye & I on his a** now.” Despite Kanye’s continued posts about Pete, the comedian has still yet to comment on Kanye publicly.

Kanye West claims Jonah Hill’s 21 Jump Street performance made him “like Jewish people again” – Dexerto
Kanye West claims Jonah Hill’s 21 Jump Street performance made him “like Jewish people again” After a series of seemingly antisemitic comments from Kanye West toward the end of 2022, the world-renowned hip-hop artist claims to “like Jewish people again” after watching 21 Jump Street. Kanye West began his antisemitic spiral in October 2022. His access to Instagram was restricted after posting messages between himself and fellow rapper Diddy where Ye claimed “Puff” was being manipulated by Jews. Two months later, Kanye would appear on an episode of the InfoWars podcast. During the three-hour interview with host Alex Jones, Kanye expressed his admiration for Adolf Hitler – the leader of Nazi Germany in the 1930s. This was followed by now-deleted posts on Twitter that contained imagery of Swastikas and the Star of David. He also claimed, “I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” before his account was suspended. Kanye West has 21 Jump Street revelation Without access to the world’s most popular social media outlets, Kanye’s tirade against Jewish people grew quiet. However, a recent post on Instagram perplexed users as they aren’t sure if Kanye has turned a new leaf or is poking fun. “Watching Jonah Hill in 21 Jump street made me like Jewish people again,” He captioned a photo of the box art of the 2012 comedy. “No one should take anger against one or two individuals and transform that into hatred towards millions of innocent people.” He continued, stating, “No Christian can be labeled antisemite knowing Jesus is Jew.” In previous posts, Kanye claimed that he couldn’t be called antisemitic because “black people are actually Jew also.” The post received over 2 million likes, but the reception from users was split in the comments. Some called this a “win” for Kanye, while others thought this was a poor attempt to get right in the public eye. Regardless, it seems we have Jonah Hill’s outstanding 2012 performance to thank for another head-scratching Kanye West post.

Kanye slams Disney Star Wars films on Joe Rogan Experience – Dexerto
Kanye slams Disney Star Wars films on Joe Rogan Experience Joe Rogan Experience/DisneyKanye West’s interview on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast is definitely a marathon, but one of the most interesting stretches is the rapper’s opinion on Star Wars, and what Disney has done with the franchise. On October 24, the highly anticipated JRE episode with the man known as Ye was released, despite fears earlier in the week that it would be canceled or delayed after a member of Rogan’s staff fell ill. Yeezy talked at length about how he’s been “called to be the leader of the free world,” but he also brought up the Star Wars movies several times, and made it very clear he wasn’t a fan of the new Disney trilogy. Timestamp at 1:14:45 for mobile viewers. “This is one thing I will say, and this is about to make me mad right here, they said that George Lucas’s prequels are worse than the corporate-made Disney Star Wars,” West seethed. “Revenge of the Sith? We saw how Darth Vader was made! Like, I watched that ten times during Covid. ‘Don’t jump Anakin, I got the high ground!’” Rogan, apparently a Star Wars purist in his own right as well, was definitely on board with what Kanye was laying down, “I’ll get mad at that too, that’s f**king ridiculous.” The original six movies were superior, Ye argued, because they were original ideas straight from the mind of George Lucas himself instead of people rehashing an old concept, which he explicitly criticized Disney and Pixar for doing quite often instead of taking a chance. “Every time there’s a new idea, they call it an unproven idea,” West said about Disney and Pixar. “So they’ll get to Toy Story 800,000 and Frozen Trillion before there’s a new concept and they take a chance.” Kanye’s passion for the sci-fi series might be surprising to some but he can definitely be considered a hardcore fan – to say the least. #TBT 2008 on set of Alligator Boots….awwww these memories!!!! pic.twitter.com/LaMnBMJSmH — Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) March 13, 2015 Besides taking inspiration from the universe Lucas created for his clothing and architecture projects, he also met his wife Kim Kardashian West for one of the first times while shooting a Star Wars-themed skit with Jimmy Kimmel back in 2008. This particular argument against the new Star Wars films is certainly not a new one, and Kanye will have no trouble finding those who agree with his take. But we wouldn’t count on this changing how Disney operates…even if it is coming from the future leader of the free world.

Kanye West asks Joe Rogan to record live JRE podcast episode with him – Dexerto
Kanye West asks Joe Rogan to record live JRE podcast episode with him YouTube: PowerfulJRE / BigBoyTVPopular rapper Kanye West has made it known that he wants to appear on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. On October 12, the music icon publicly asked the UFC commentator on Twitter to call him to schedule an interview for the hit show. [jwplayer smynPnSq] The Joe Rogan Experience continues to be the top podcast in the world, boasting millions of subscribers across YouTube and various platforms. The comedian has featured guests ranging from Tesla CEO Elon Musk, to lead Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler. It seems as though the show could add wildly popular artist Kanye West to that list soon. The 21-time Grammy Award winner tweeted at the host and told him to schedule an interview as early as the week beginning October 12. Kanye West wants to go on the Joe Rogan podcast Listeners of the JRE podcast will know that Rogan has tried to get West on it numerous times. In 2019, the host revealed that an interview had not yet happened due to the artist being “complicated.” However, it looks like the rap star is finally ready to go on show, as on October 12, he made a post on Twitter directed at the 53-year-old. “Would love to go on Joe Rogan’s podcast LIVE this week I have my team trying to get your number Joe I’m in Calabassas Let’s do this my friend,” he tweeted. https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1315680854555848705 The artist’s tweet also featured a “ski” emoji, which appears to be a reference to another podcast segment about him from February. In it, the commentator stated, “Kanye wants to get know me. We’ll do it. He’s a really nice guy, man. I’m not in a rush.” (Topic starts at 00:51.) At the time of writing, Rogan has yet to respond to the interview request. However, he has told viewers on numerous occasions that he really wants to sit down with the Grammy artist, making this look like an inevitability. It’s unclear though if the JRE podcast’s move to Texas in September will be a conflict, as West stated he is currently in California. Although, the two states are a short flight away so perhaps the host will fly back to his old studio for this epic interview.

Kanye West fans convinced he gatecrashed wedding in viral video – Dexerto
Kanye West fans convinced he gatecrashed wedding in viral video YouTube: ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST/TikTok: TheDeanSickerKanye West fans are convinced that the rapper gatecrashed a wedding in Italy after a video went viral of someone dressing like him taking photographs with the bride and groom. Wedding days are always built up to be the happiest moment of a couple’s life together. It’s that time in their relationship when they finally become one and celebrate with their closest friends and family. Naturally, some weddings have spawned incredibly viral videos in the past. Some for weird dance moves at the reception, others leaving viewers questioning their fashion sense, and some for their lavish, if not unusual, menus and locations. Well, in the case of one couple from Atlanta, their wedding has gone viral for a different reason as some believe that Kanye West gatecrashed their celebration in Florence, Italy. Did Kanye West gatecrash a wedding in Italy? It originally caught attention when a TikToker, thedeansicker, posted a clip of a mystery man – who people believe is Kanye – posed for photos with the couple. In the video, the groom can be heard saying “Of course, we know” as he greets the man and adds that the couple are “from Atlanta” before the snaps. The man that everyone believes is Kanye can’t heard saying anything and also appears to be masked up in typical Kanye fashion. The clip has since been shared across social media by a whole host of accounts, including a number of Kanye fans. They’re all convinced him just by the way the mystery man is dressed up. “Just imagine that you get married and end up with a photo with Ye,” said one. “They met Kanye West they’re never going to fail,” said another, referring to Chance the Rapper’s iconic line from Ultralight Beam. Some questioned the legitimacy of it being Kanye, asking why no one has heard him talk for a while. “How come we haven’t heard him talk in so long?” one viewer quizzed. Even though you can’t see the rapper’s face in the video, he has been in Europe over the last few weeks, specifically Italy. He and his wife Bianca Censori were banned from a Venice boat company due to some lewd attire. Unless the couple speaks out and confirms it was Ye at their wedding, it will remain speculation for most. However, diehard fans are convinced.

Kanye West delays new album and reveals 3 albums instead – Dexerto
Kanye West delays new album and reveals 3 albums instead Wikimedia Commons, Jason PersseKanye West delayed his new joint album Vultures with Ty Dolla Sign until 2024 and revealed three different volumes. Kanye’s Vultures has been plagued with delays and controversy. Originally, the album (an 18-track joint effort with Ty Dolla Sign) was to be released on December 15, 2023. That didn’t happen, and the set was delayed indefinitely. The push might have been partially due to Nicki Minaj refusing to clear “New Body,” a song that she and Ye had worked on five years ago. Ye even threatened not to release the album unless the song was cleared. On the album’s official tracklist, Nicki Minaj is mysteriously not credited but Bump J and Lil Durk are on the title track. After rumors swirled online, Vultures then shifted its release date to December 31, but now that appears to be a no-go, as well. The music mogul has now delayed the album until the new year. Kanye reveals several versions of Vultures On January 23, Ye revealed there will be three “volumes” of Vultures, a collab with Ty Dolla Sign. The first is set to drop on February 9, with the follow-ups arriving on March 8 and April 5. Vultures has also been marred by controversy from an unlikely place. The song “Everybody” reportedly samples the Backstreet Boys’ “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back).” Turns out, the boy band did not give clearance to Ye. It’s yet to be seen if the song will continue forward as originally conceived. The latest album delay follows surprising news that Ye is planning to build a 100,000-acre metropolis in the Middle East and is currently eyeing somewhere in Dubai for the location. “I just had several meetings last week with superstar Kanye West. We both stayed at the iconic Atlantis The Royal,” luxury real estate agent Marcel Remus told an Arabian newspaper. With three new albums (and a potential city in the works), 2024 is certainly looking up for Kanye.

Kamaru Usman’s manager Ali Abdelaziz pitches UFC fight offer to Jake Paul – Dexerto
Kamaru Usman’s manager Ali Abdelaziz pitches UFC fight offer to Jake Paul Instagram: Jake Paul / Kamaru UsmanAfter having a heated exchange on social media, Ali Abdelaziz offered Jake Paul a fight against his client, UFC Welterweight Champion Kamaru Usman, but only if he could cut to 185lbs. Jake Paul has been linked to many potential fights in the UFC. However, it’s hard to find one more mouthwatering than a bout against Kamaru Usman, a dominant champion who has cleaned out his division. Usman challenged Jake to a fight in April 2021. It looked like things were in motion shortly after, but it never came to fruition. Usman laughed it off a year later but admitted he’d be open to it if Jake made a compelling offer. However, things could be in motion again after Usman’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, locked horns with Jake on social media. The dispute ended with him pitching a fight offer and begging Dana White to let it happen. “If Dana thinks it will be an unfair fight between Kamaru and Conor, maybe it’s a good opportunity to start the launch of Zuffa boxing,” said Ali. “We have to stop talking about these fake fighters from boxing.” “Mr. Informant, do us all a favor and shut your peanut head ass mouth,” replied Jake. “The only thing fake is your boy Usman’s boxing skills. He won the belt from Tyron Woodley by decision. You’ve seen what I did.” “I wasn’t even talking about you,” said Ali. “But if you are so tough and you say you have a wrestling background, you come to the UFC at 185lbs, and you have a fight in your hand with the P4P King Kamaru Usman!” Read More: Dana White reveals Jake Paul UFC fight offer – “I know Dana White would love to see your face get smashed. [You’re] very irrelevant, and you flopped with your Showtime deal, and now you want to be in the UFC so bad. Dana White, please give this man a piece of bread.” I wasn’t even talking about you, but if you are so tough and you say you have a wrestling background, you come to the UFC at a 185lbs and you have a fight in your hand with the P4P King @USMAN84kg and I know @danawhite would love to see your face get smashed. — Ali Abdelaziz (@AliAbdelaziz00) March 19, 2022 Jake hasn’t responded to the challenge yet — perhaps because he’s keen on a fight against Conor McGregor. However, Dana White thinks he’d match up better against UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya. Either way, it seems like more doors are opening for Jake by the minute. His brother, Logan, believes he has revolutionized boxing and MMA, and the fact he’s receiving these kinds of offers is a testament to that.

Kandyland responds to “real life troll” claiming she uses body for views – Dexerto
Kandyland responds to “real life troll” claiming she uses body for views Popular “Just Chatting” streamer “Kandyland” is a familiar face for Twitch regulars, known for the humorous moments that happen during her broadcasts as well as her funny interactions with viewers. However, one such interaction didn’t go very swimmingly, as the streamer bumped into a hater in real life during a night out at a nightclub to kick off the 2020 New Year. According to the streamer, she and the person in question were hitting it off before he made some unsavory comments regarding her content. “There was a guy who came up to me, who recognized me from the internet,” Kandyland began. “What he said was, ‘You only get views because you have big tits, and they’re probably not even real.’” She argued against this view before moving on with her story, claiming that, “The reason people choose to stay and watch me is not because of my appearance. …I don’t need to defend myself. It’s rude. I don’t want to cover up, okay?” That wasn’t the end of the troll’s offensive comments, though – he went on to comment on Kandyland’s derriere, as well, claiming that “it’s probably flat” when her friend came to her defense. “Was that necessary?” the streamer questioned of the critic’s hateful words. “Was that necessary? No, it wasn’t. So I just walked away. I didn’t say anything. But that’s like a troll in real life. … a real-life incel!” Kandyland went on to hypothesize why the bystander would make such harmful comments, theorizing that he felt she was “better than him” due to her online presence, and wanted to “devalue” her by knocking her down a peg. According to the streamer, this isn’t even the first time such a scenario has happened in real life, claiming that a similar encounter occurred at a DreamHack gaming convention. “I’m so worried,” she continued. “This happened at DreamHack, this happened at the festival… I’m so worried that the trolls are getting out. When they are under the influence, I guess. Whatever he did.” Needless to say, it’s never a good idea to spread hate, whether online or in real life: but Kandyland’s reaction to the rude stranger de-escalated a potentially dangerous situation, which could have gotten out of hand, had she decided to lash out at the man.

KaleiRenay joins FaZe: From “brand risk” to “FaZe Kalei” – Dexerto
KaleiRenay joins FaZe: From “brand risk” to “FaZe Kalei” FaZe ClanKaleiRenay is joining FaZe Clan. A Twitch star, a Warzone demon, and one of the wildest Twitter follows around — it was only right that we spoke to her about how she got here (among other topics, like possums and “simp management”). Kalei is gifted with the Kar98 and an absolute danger on Verdansk. Her Twitter game is also pretty strong and…pretty dangerous to open at work. While others have worried that she’s a “brand risk,” FaZe say she’s just “being unapologetically herself.” We spoke to her about what being herself means, especially as a female content creator in the male-dominated gaming space. From growing up on FaZe, to mental health and future plans, an array of ground was covered. But first, some quick facts… The quick facts Favorite animal? Probably a possum. I love possums. – Least-favorite animal? Dogs…I don’t like dogs. They smell. – Favorite song right now? “So High” by Doja Cat. – Favorite artist of all time? Korn. – Go-to Warzone loadout right now? Kar98 and XM4 or Bullfrog. – If you were a fish, what kind of fish would you be? Probably a clown fish. My entire life is a meme, it’s fitting. – Moving onto bigger fish, how did you first get into streaming? “I knew about YouTube because I grew up watching a lot of the people that I’m now joining, but I had no idea about streaming. My friends introduced me to the CoD league over on MLG and that’s where I originally started watching streams like Scump and FormaL. And FormaL had a girlfriend, SJ, and she was one of the first Twitch streamers I started watching. She was super inspiring to me and I give her so much credit for my journey because she’s the one that started it off. Watching that entire side of the community, I wanted to join it so I saved up, I got a PS4, I got a camera for my PS4, and that’s how I started streaming.” Were you always talented at games or was there a point when your skills started ramping up? Honestly, when I started streaming I wasn’t the best at games. I kind of just did it because it was fun and I was bored and I had a lot of friends that did it. I didn’t really start popping off on games until Warzone. When Warzone came out I felt eager to get better. I surrounded myself with some of the best players in the world and we constantly force each other to improve. But I started off as a content creator. You should’ve seen me in Fortnite. I was awful. I was . I was a Minecraft streamer for the longest time — I thought Minecraft was my game until I got back on CoD, tried Warzone out, and was like ‘no way, this game is for me. I need to get on this.’ So I started grinding, started getting better, started surrounding myself with people that just play this game constantly. That’s where I started seeing the improvement and overall growth. some clips from today’s stream 😳 i really am unstoppable with any sniper pic.twitter.com/WkAzGRnp5i — Kalei (@KaleiRenay) May 21, 2021 Is that because Warzone suits your competitiveness? Yes, yes, yes. I have an urge to compete and to prove myself and…Minecraft, you can’t do that with Minecraft. Speaking of competing, what Warzone skill are you most confident in? Sniping. Warzone skill you want to improve? On the competitive side, probably how I push things in 2v2s. It used to be kill races, but now more competitive scenes are switching to 2v2s, so I need to start grinding out wagers and getting better at that. What’s it like being a female gamer in a male-dominated space? I feel like I have to prove myself a lot more than other people would have to — which kind of sucks, but at the same time it helps you improve a lot. And I’ve proven I’m able to compete with some of the big guys. In a male-dominant scene, it’s the biggest thing: I just have to literally prove myself 10 times more than other people have to, which can get mentally exhausting. You seem to handle your…variety of followers really well, do you have any “simp management” advice for upcoming streamers? Honestly, muting is your best friend. That’s the best thing that I can say: just mute people. If you’re having a bad day, then just mute, don’t respond. That’s been my biggest journey — like maybe two to three years ago you’d see me fighting on the timeline with random incels. And that got so exhausting. Because at the end of the day, not everyone is going to like you. It’s exhausting trying to make everyone like you. So just be you, play your game. You’re going to have haters no matter what, so muting is your best friend. Know you’re big on music and hiking, how important are hobbies like those to maintaining mental health? Music is my escape. I don’t play music on stream, I don’t share it with the world. Music is my safe space. and that is what gets me going. If I’m having a bad day I’m not gonna sit on the timeline and bitch. I’m going to go play my piano or play my guitar. That’s where I go to maintain my mental. And hiking? Oh yeah. Just getting out of the house, sometimes it’s nice to be able to disconnect and not have to worry about what people are saying about you. It’s nice to be able to escape and go outside. As a big advocate for mental health, what’s something you think people don’t realize enough about it? People don’t realize until it’s too late. People like to joke about mental health, but it’s a real thing. I’m sure everyone has lost someone due to mental health, I personally have too — and we’ve lost a lot of streamers to mental health as well. My thing is: there’s always signs if your streamer or YouTuber is tweeting something concerning. And watching people just sit there and meme ‘oh you’re a streamer, you’re a YouTuber, you have your life so easy.’ It’s shit like that that can spring someone off the edge. And I don’t think people realize that mental health is such a real thing. No matter the amount of clout, no matter the amount of money — that’s not going to cure someone’s depression. On the…brighter side of tweeting, you’ve had some pretty wild ones. What are some of your favorite personal tweets? This one I tweeted on Mother’s Day, it was simply “Happy Mother’s Day, who’s trying to make me a MILF?” Sweet, simple, straight to the point. Nothing more, nothing less. You go through my timeline, there’s some crazy stuff like “pisses on you cutely,” you know, random shit like that. It’s super funny to me. Are there any tweets that you think the timeline slept on? Oh, definitely. “Squeeze me like the little ketchup packet I am.” That one was definitely slept on. So…has FaZe asked you to tone it down at all? No, no, no way. In fact, they actually encourage it. I’ve never felt so welcomed, whether it was a community, team, management in general — I’ve had management teams that are like ‘seriously, Kalei?’ and I have yet to get a text message, a DM, an email like ‘can you…seriously, Kalei? Seriously?’ No, I have yet to get that, they encourage it. And I love that. I love that. How hype were you when the FaZe signing started taking form? I didn’t believe it at first. I literally did not even believe it at first. I was like ‘no way, no way this is real.’ Because I’ve just been thrown in the trash basically. I mean, believe it or not, a lot of people don’t believe in me. I have my community that believes in me, but it’s always like ‘oh she’s never gonna get this sponsor’ or ‘she’s never gonna join this team because she’s a brand risk.’ Because she’s like this, she’s like that. And it’s just like…it’s not a persona. This is my personality. I can’t turn the switch on and turn the switch off, this is who I am. So when FaZe initially contacted me, I was like ‘no f**king way,’ and at first I was scared like this is just gonna be another thing where they’re gonna look at it and they’re gonna go ‘oh, just kidding!’ I’ve had stuff with G2, Mutineers, certain teams like that where they just took a step back and they were like ‘yikes, nevermind.’ So for me to get as far as joining FaZe now, it’s like ‘holy shit, wow.’ It’s insane. who wants to sniff my chair after this clip pic.twitter.com/qDMNLivChY — Kalei (@KaleiRenay) May 18, 2021 You watched a lot of YouTube coming up, so did any FaZe members or pieces of content come to mind when they first contacted you? Yep, growing up watching Rain, Adapt, all of them, it’s so surreal. I grew up watching their content. Literally, FaZe Rain would upload right as I got home and I remember watching him and then switching the channel onto Pamaj because they uploaded around the same time. And it’s like, I’m on a team with these people, I grew up watching them six, seven years ago, that’s insane to me. Looking forward, are there any projects you’re excited to work on as FaZe Kalei? Honestly, I’m just excited to grind stream in general. With this huge FaZe announcement, I think it’s really pushing me more to create better content. Whether it’s getting better at the game, creating funny content with my friends and stuff like that. That’s what I’m excited for, this initial announcement and seeing how people are reacting, I just don’t want to disappoint. I want to use this opportunity to my best.

Kallmekris details “dangerous” stalker situation thats causing her to move YouTube: KallmekrisTikToker and YouTuber Kallmekris has shared that she’s been involved with “dangerous” stalkers coming to her house, and they’re causing her to move.

Known for her hilarious skits and acting prowess, all of Kris’ videos receive millions of views within hours of uploading them. On April 26, 2023, Kris uploaded a video on YouTube sharing that she has had to deal with “dangerous” stalkers at her house that are causing her to move. Kallmekris is moving due to stalkers In the video titled “We need to talk,” Kris revealed that she is about to move to a new house. After explaining that the background of her videos was going to change very soon, she went into detail as to what was prompting the move. “Over the past year I’ve been dealing with stalkers and people that have found my house,” she revealed. “I’ve been in some pretty dangerous situations that I haven’t talked about just because I’ve been scared to talk about it because I didn’t want more happening.” Kris then revealed that people found her house and were flying drones above the property in the middle of the night on top of other things. (Topic starts at 1:37 in the video) In a comment on the video, Kris shared her appreciation for her fanbase as she also went into detail about her current mental health struggles. “Can’t begin to explain how grateful I am for all your support over these past couple of years. I’m in awe every day of this positive and beautiful community,” she said. Kris explained that she will be quite a bit more private in the new house to prevent being in a similar situation, making it clear that she won’t upload a house tour video for those curious. She’s not the only influencer to detail struggles with stalkers recently. Notably, IRL Twitch streamer Jinny recently dealt with one following her during a broadcast.

Kalei reacts to being kicked from FaZe Clan as part of “clean slate” reboot – Dexerto
Kalei reacts to being kicked from FaZe Clan as part of “clean slate” reboot Kalei / FaZe BanksKalei broke down crying during her Twitch stream after being kicked from FaZe Clan. On April 28, FaZe Clan announced that they had kicked the majority of its members, including various long-term members such as Rain, Blaze and Cizzorz. FaZe Banks revealed that only 14 members remain as part of the organization as a result of the “reboot.” Top Warzone streamer Kalei stated that she found out about the mass kicking of FaZe members a year before, but was reassured by “everyone” that she was going to be one of the only members staying. Despite this, she ended up being one of the creators removed from the team, which she confirmed while streaming on Twitch following the announcement: “I got kicked. One of the only members that can pull millions of impressions a week. Top streamer, for Warzone, and still had so much love and passion for a team that I didn’t even get paid to stay there.” Kalei expressed her frustrations and claimed that she “didn’t get a dime from them and still got handed to, a s**t end at the end of the day.” She added: “They treated it like we were f**king stupid. The way that it was handled, nobody deserved that.” Hours later, Kalei posted to Twitter/X: “I’m so grateful for all the opportunities, I’ll never forget when I got the phone call and got asked to join FaZe. The friends I made on the way. The support from my community. Everything. Thank you and wishing the best for them. Here’s to a new beginning.” Faze Banks has since replied in a lengthy response, which started: “Today sucked. I promise the only reason you were let go is because a genuine relationship couldn’t really ever have been formed. Because of the nature in which you were recruited. You were recruited unfortunately during the darkest era of FaZe and we just have to wipe our slate clean.” FaZe’s CEO did not address the claims that she was not paid while she was a member of FaZe Clan. However, he ended by praising the former FaZe member who joined in 2022 and apologized: “The way you spoke about FaZe and your love for it, and you being emotional makes me emotional. I’m sorry, it’s all love over here too.”

Kai Cenat wrecks Twitch setup after brutal $10k College Football 25 loss – Dexerto
Kai Cenat wrecks Twitch setup after brutal $10k College Football 25 loss Kai Cenat/EA SPORTSTwitch star Kai Cenat wrecked his streaming setup after suffering a brutal loss in EA SPORTS College Football 25, ending his stream on a destructive note and losing around $10k in sneakers. It’s been over 4000 days since College Football fans were able to play a new EA SPORTS title. The classic NCAA 14 game has now, finally, been laid to rest as College Football 25 is here – and it’s already gotten some serious hype. Upon its early access launch on July 16, the new College Football title had close to 1 million players out of the gate. That is only set to increase once it goes live for those who haven’t shelled out the extra money for pre-order. Twitch star Kai Cenat was one of those who jumped into the new game during early access, but things didn’t work out as he’d likely hoped. The streaming giant was playing against rayasianboy during his July 16 stream, but trailed his friend in a pretty big way as they played as Colorado and Georgia, as they had a pair of Off White x Retro Jordan 1 sneakers on the line worth around $10,000. Late in the fourth quarter, Kai had been down 44-14 when, trying to mount an improbable comeback, he threw an interception. The streamer quickly slammed his controller on his desk a few times before taking things up another level. He then pulled Ray’s controller out of his hand and threw it at the desk. Kai then kicked his desk, prompting the monitor to fall over as well. The furious outburst was the final moment of his stream for the day as he quickly went offline afterwards, leaving his fans with a black screen and the message that the broadcast over. Some viewers quickly suggested that it was done on purpose, seeing as he’s now moved into a new house in New York for the summer, but it’s not ideal losing $10,000. It may have also been some leftover rage from his Elden Ring days, seeing as that took a big toll.

Kai Cenat’s Rizz beats Taylor Swift fans to 2023 word of the year – Dexerto
Kai Cenat’s Rizz beats Taylor Swift fans to 2023 word of the year Twitch: Kai CenatRizz, the word made popular by Twitch star Kai Cenat, has won the honor of being crowned as 2023’s Word of the Year by Oxford University Press. Yes, seriously. As streaming and content creation has become a genuine career path for some online personalities as they’ve managed to create massive followings across a number of different platforms. Naturally, these communities create their own in-jokes and phrases to reference during streams and videos. You can’t tune into an xQc stream without hearing multiple references about ‘The Juice,’ for example. Kai Cenat and the AMP crew have managed to take things a step further though. They’ve popularized the word ‘Rizz’ over the last year or two – a shortened take on charisma and how people have personalities when trying to chat someone up. Rizz beats Taylor Swift’s Swifties to word of the year The word has spread so much over the last year or so that, thanks to Merriam-Webster, its even ended up in the dictionary alongside similar phrases like Simp, NGL, and Bussin. On top of all that, Rizz has even been named as the word of the year for 2023 by Oxford University Press. The popular phrase managed to beat out other breakout phrases like Parasocial, Swiftie – yes, referring to Taylor Swift fans, Beige Flag, and Situationship. All of which we’ve seen rise on social media platforms like X and TikTok. Casper Grathwohl, president at Oxford Languages, credited Rizz as a “prevailing mood of 2023, where more of us opening ourselves up after a challenging few years and finding confidence in who we are,” according to the BBC. It follows last year’s winner, Goblin Mode, as another popular internet phrase becoming a part of everyday life – and it’ll be interesting to see what wins next year too.

During a recent broadcast, Kai brought one of his viewers on stream via a Discord call to propose to his girlfriend, but it didn’t go quite as planned. Kai Cenat viewer’s wedding proposal goes horribly wrong While streaming on October 25, Kai brought one of his viewers ‘proposetomygirl’ onto his stream so he could, well, propose to his girlfriend. Donning a baseball cap while cooking ramen noodles, the viewer moved his camera to face the bed where his girlfriend was laying there covered up in her blankets. “Will you marry me,” he asked before turning back to Kai. “She said, no man, what do I do?” “Ask her again,” Kai replied. Asking her again, the viewer expressed his love for her before receiving another no answer. Fans reacted to the proposal in Kai’s chat, with dozens of “LMFAO” and “KICK HER OUT” messages flooding the chat. After retrieving the ramen noodles from the stove, Kai quickly ended the Discord call. It’s unknown what happened next, but it’s safe to say that he and his girlfriend have some talking to do.

Kai Cenat wants Adin Ross to get more recognition – Dexerto
Kai Cenat wants Adin Ross to get more recognition Instagram: Kai CenatKai Cenat said that he wanted Adin Ross to get more recognition for his contributions to the streaming community while watching the Streamer Awards. Adin did not receive any awards or nominations at the awards, and did not attend the ceremony. Kai, who won the Award for Streamer of the Year for the second time last week, brought up Adin while watching the event hosted by QTCinderella. “You know what I wish though? Despite so much that has happened, and how people put him and sh*t, I just really wish that Adin would get some type of recognition. “I understand how he looks and how everybody says sh*t about him. But are you not remembering the shift that he put into streaming?” However, his chat appeared to disagree, with many watchers spamming negative messages when Kai brought up Adin. Earlier this month, Kai made internet history by becoming the most-subscribed-to twitch streamer ever, with 300,000 subscribers, even securing an intervention from Drake. What happened to Adin Ross? Adin was recently banned from Twitch for violating the Terms of Service agreement. This may have contributed to him missing out on any nominations. He has since signed a new deal with the alternative streaming platform Kick. This is his eighth ban from Twitch. At Kick, he has become one of the platform’s largest streamers, and has repeatedly said he plans on recruiting other big names to the platform to challenge Twitch. The exact reasons for his ban are unconfirmed, though it is widely theorized that it was due to Adin using his stream to show adult content to viewers. He recently streamed with Sneako and Destiny to discuss MoistCr1tikal and Andrew Tate.

Kai Cenat unbanned on Twitch a week after showing “simulated sexual activity” on stream Kai CenatTwitch star Kai Cenat has finally returned to the platform after being banned for seven days amid rumors claiming the streamer would make the switch to Kick. Kai Cenat has officially been unbanned on Twitch as of Monday, April 24. Kai’s ban lasted a total of seven days, with the streamer first being banned on April 17. Although fans were confused as to what led to his ban, sources close to the streamer exclusively revealed to Dexerto that the streamer had been given the boot due to showing “simulated sexual activity” during a GTA RP session. This ban followed Cenat’s hugely successful 30-day subathon, which took place in February of this year. Kai’s subathon broke records on Twitch, beating out both Ninja and Ludwig’s all-time subscriber records. Despite Kai’s untimely Twitch ban, it doesn’t look as though the star is making the move to Kick just yet. Adin Ross has been relentless in attempting to convince Kai to join him on the platform after his most recent suspension, telling the streamer he’s “worth more than that.” Kai’s ban also caught the attention of major music artist Nicki Minaj, who reacted to the situation in a live stream. “Let the boy rock,” she urged Twitch. “Like, stop. …alright. I’ma get cute, I’ma dress up nice and I’ma go on live with him and speak to him, if that’s cool with him.” Kai Cenat reacts to Twitch unban Kai reacted to his unban in a post on his Instagram stories, sharing a screenshot of the StreamerBans Twitter account with a simple “…” as the caption. It seems that Kai’s Twitch ban has shaken up the entire internet… and given his penchant for massive live streams, there’s no telling what the influencer has planned for his comeback.

Kai Cenat to star in Rush Hour inspired comedy movie – Dexerto
Kai Cenat to star in Rush Hour inspired comedy movie YouTube: Kai CenatTwitch streamer Kai Cenat is starring in his first-ever movie, seemingly inspired by Rush Hour. Here’s everything we know about his film, ‘Global Pursuit,’ so far. Kai Cenat is one of the world’s biggest online broadcasters. Between breaking subscriber records on Twitch to getting his own exclusive live show on Rumble, Kai is living large. Most recently, Kai made headlines across the world after his fan meetup in New York City accidentally sparked a riot, resulting in the streamer’s arrest after multiple people were injured. Kai is now out of police custody and has streamed infrequently since the incident… but it looks like he was cooking up a big treat for his fans, as he just released a trailer for his upcoming movie ‘Global Pursuit.’ Kai Cenat starring in comedy movie ‘Global Pursuit’ On August 23, Kai’s fans noticed a video had been uploaded to the streamer’s YouTube channel. The video is a trailer for a film called ‘Global Pursuit,’ which appears to follow two buddy cops (one of which is Kai Cenat) as they undergo a sting operation in the style of ‘Rush Hour,’ which starred Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. The advertisement even includes the song ‘War’ by Edwin Starr, which notably featured in the first Rush Hour movie. That’s not all; the film even features a cameo with rapper Lil Yachty, who appears at the very end of the trailer. Thus far, no synopsis has been provided for the movie, which will be available to watch on Kai Cenat’s YouTube channel on August 25, 2023. Although Cenat has acted in a few humorous skits from time to time, this will be the first time fans have really seen his acting skills shine… and comments are mostly excited, if a bit cautiously optimistic. Some, like Adin Ross, are totally jazzed that Kai is getting his very own movie, while others are dubbing the as-yet-unreleased film as a “Walmart Rush Hour.” Bro made a whole movie yeaaaa this finna hit im already knowin — DyJon Winfree (@Monte27x) August 23, 2023 Overall, fans seem extremely excited for the movie – but for now, very little is known about the flick until it drops in just two days’ time. Kai isn’t the only influencer getting into acting by far, with the likes of Addison Rae set to star in the upcoming horror film ‘Thanksgiving.’

Kai Cenat tells Nicki Minaj he’s going to jail for 7 days – Dexerto
Kai Cenat tells Nicki Minaj he’s going to jail for 7 days Instagram: nickiminajTwitch streamer Kai Cenat told rapper Nicki Minaj that he will be going to jail for seven days during an unexpected collaboration between the two stars, leaving some fans panicked. Kai Cenat is one of Twitch’s top stars. The streamer boasts over 7 million followers on the platform and draws enough crowds to literally start a riot. As one of the net’s biggest broadcasters, Kai also rubs elbows with major celebrities on a regular basis. In the past, Kai has hung out with the likes of SZA, Offset, and even Drake, who FaceTimed him while the streamer reacted to his new album during a broadcast earlier this month. The latest celebrity Kai hung out with was none other than Nicki Minaj… but he dropped a major bombshell during their conversation that’s leaving fans worried. Kai Cenat claims he’s facing jail time during call with Nicki Minaj On October 24, Nicki Minaj was on Instagram live when Kai Cenat joined her on the broadcast while munching some chips — but the ‘Trinidem Girls’ rapper didn’t seem too impressed with him. After roasting the streamer and accidentally hanging up on him, the two shared a conversation, during which he told the ‘Harajuku Barbie’ that he was going to jail for a week. “I’m about to go to jail,” he said. “What?” Nicki replied, seeming totally shocked. “You got my bail? You gonna bail me out, or nah?” Kai asked. “Why are you going to jail?” Nicki asked. “Seven days, it’s crazy, for real. ‘Cause I have to.” Kai then confirmed that this was not due to the riots, saying “hell no” to Nicki’s question. Although Kai was cagey about the reason why he’s supposedly facing jail time, he did ask Nicki if she’d ever bail him out, claiming he’d bail her out if she got locked up. She said that she would, leaving the streamer quite chuffed by her response. Kai Cenat teases ‘7 Days In’ jail stream However, it doesn’t look like Kai is actually going to jail. Instead, he was referring to his upcoming live-streamed event, called ‘7 Days In,’ where he and a group of high-profile celebs and creators will spend seven days in jail with cameras following their every move “24/7.” Thus far, a slew of big names have been announced to take part in the stream, including rapper Offset, Chrisean Rock, streamer YourRage, and even YouTubers RDC World, among others. The moment between Nicki and Kai has gone viral online, leaving fans completely shooketh that the ‘Chun-Li’ rapper finally linked up with Kai months after saying she actually “liked him a lot.” Yeah, that’s right; queen Nicki actually said she wanted to stream with Kai earlier this year, and even texted Kai during one of his broadcasts back in May.

Kai Cenat threatens to leave Twitch if IShowSpeed isn’t unbanned from platform – Dexerto
Kai Cenat threatens to leave Twitch if IShowSpeed isn’t unbanned from platform YouTube: Kai CenatKai Cenat threatened to leave Twitch if IShowSpeed isn’t unbanned from the platform, with the duo even asking Twitch’s CEO in person directly. By the time December rolls around, it will mark two years since IShowSpeed was permanently banned from Twitch. Following a sexist outburst at the time, he then moved over to rival platform YouTube, soon becoming its most-watched streamer. However, a quest to get IShowSpeed unbanned on the Amazon-backed streaming site has been led mostly by a friend and fellow streamer, Kai Cenat. Having made some progress, he revealed in early August that he had talked to Twitch’s CEO, Dan Clancy, about getting Speed unbanned. Kai is now seemingly threatening to leave Twitch if Clancy doesn’t follow through, with the pair asking him in person to have Speed’s ban revoked. In a regular variety stream just before the 2023 Streamy Awards, Kai ran into a few technical problems with Twitch’s backend. In frustration, he said with a hint of sarcasm, “Twitch. If Speed doesn’t get unbanned I’m leaving.” However, he quickly followed it up saying, “Nah I’m joking, I’m lying.” That wasn’t the only plea from Kai to Twitch that very day, as later at the Streamy Awards the pair would fortuitously cross paths with Clancy. Speed was then on camera getting down on his knees, quite literally begging to be unbanned. Kai said in the Instagram story, “If he don’t unban Speed, he’s done [sic].” Of course, this may all just be Kai and Speed joking around, however, Kai has recently been offered contracts to part ways with Twitch, namely a supposed $40 million Kick deal which he rejected. So, it remains to be seen what will come of their talks, if Twitch really will take back IShowSpeed onto their platform, or if Kai really will one day move on in solidarity.

Kai Cenat tells BruceDropEmOff to “go to therapy” after leaked DMs dissing him – Dexerto
Kai Cenat tells BruceDropEmOff to “go to therapy” after leaked DMs dissing him Twitch: Kai CenatKai Cenat has told BruceDropEmOff to seek “therapy” after alleged DMs were leaked of him dissing Kai and Lil Yatchy. BruceDropEmOff has been a controversial figure for the past year, notably after his falling out with OTK and Mizkif which followed multiple Twitch bans and a contract with Kick in June 2023. Bruce has never been shy from beefing with other streamers, which is what brought him under fire once again on October 12 when DMs of him allegedly dissing Kai Cenat and Lil Yachty surfaced. Kai has now responded to Bruce’s leaked DMs in a lengthy rant on his Twitch stream, calling him out for “gossiping” with others about his problems and saying he no longer wants to be associated with him moving forward. “If that’s how you feeling, I’m not even going to lie, I really think that n**** going through some s*** bro,” Kai said of Bruce’s alleged DMs. Kai Cenat responds to BruceDropEmOff leaked DMs “You need to go to therapy if that’s how you feel bro. You need to go on that Trackhawk, hit a 100 on the gas, straight to therapy, and tell the n**** or b**** what the f*** is really going through bro.” Kai went on to say he has no respect for Bruce for doing what he did and does not want to be associated with him any longer. “I don’t respect that at all bro. You telling me this s*** is old, n**** this s*** is damn near after the apology. That s*** not cool. I’ma treat this s*** as if it’s anybody would do this to me, and I don’t want to be your friend no more. “I don’t want to do s*** with you no more, I don’t want to be associated with you no more, I don’t give a f*** what you got going on. Because it is too dangerous to have a n**** like that in my circle. One day smiling, next time you in your phone gossiping to your top mods.” Kai was not the only person Bruce seemingly insulted in the leaked DMs, with Bruce allegedly making homphobic remarks about Kai’s organization, AMP, and insulting YourRage as well.

Kai Cenat tells Kick: “If you wanted us, you could have had us!” – Dexerto
Kai Cenat tells Kick: “If you wanted us, you could have had us!” Twitch: KaiCenatKai Cenat blasted the streaming service Kick in a recent stream with iShowSpeed ahead of their exclusive Rumble show, taunting the site by shouting that they “could have had us.” Kick has had its eye on Kai Cenat, one of Twitch’s biggest streamers, for a while. As tensions between Kai and Twitch have risen in recent months, mostly because of the creator being banned multiple times for Terms of Service violation, Kick has made moves to ingratiate itself with the streamer. But now it seems that Kai Cenat has moved on from considering Kick as a potential new site for him to make content on, because in the same clip that he dissed Kick, he also hyped up Rumble, the service he and iShowSpeed signed on to for a new livestreaming show. Kai Cenat shuts down possibility of joining Kick In a clip from a stream with iShowSpeed, Kai told the streaming service to “get back”, before apologizing to them. However, after a few seconds, he doubled down on the callout. He said: “I’m sorry Kick. Rumble up! You know what? You know what? Yo, Kick! If you wanted us, you could have had us! W Rumble.” Speed himself doesn’t say anything in the clip, so it’s not clear if he agrees with the comments Kai was making. Kick has previously stuck up for Kai Cenat when he was banned from Twitch. They called out the rival streaming service, describing the ban as a “priceless” mistake. However, it doesn’t sound like the goodwill has paid off. There’s also a more personal angle to this rejection, as fellow streamer Adin Ross, the biggest creator on Kick and one of the site’s most vocal advocates, has repeatedly tried to recruit both Kai Cenat and iShowSpeed. He has previously said that he was “hurt” by their decision to partner with Rumble for their new show.

Kai Cenat teases Kick with his stream title on Twitch – Dexerto
Kai Cenat teases Kick with his stream title on Twitch YouTube: Kai Cenat LiveTop Twitch streamer Kai Cenat joked around with Kick on one of his streams by adding green, the platform’s signature color, to the title. There’s been speculation about Kai Cenat potentially making the jump to Kick for a while now. His relationship with Adin Ross, one of Kick’s biggest cheerleaders, has often led to the two discussing the move, and when Kai was temporarily banned from Twitch last month, the rival platform started looking a lot better. Kai hasn’t confirmed or denied any plans to make a move, and recently dared Twitch to ban him again. However, it looks like he’s having fun with the speculation because he leaned into it during one of his streams. Kai Cenat trolls Kick by adding green to his Twitch stream title Kai began the stream by hinting at a potential announcement, saying: “I know that y’all see that green in my title, right?” He then let the suspense build for several seconds, before breaking the tension by shouting: “That green is for f*cking Minecraft!” Kick saw the funny side of the situation, with the site’s official Twitter account posting the clip with the caption: “Don’t do this to me @KaiCenat”. Kick has frequently tried to get on Kai Cenat’s good side, as securing one of Twitch’s biggest talents would be a massive victory for the platform trying to compete in the same space. They’ve sent Kai custom shoes that were better than Twitch’s, and they went out to bat for him on Twitter after Kai was banned from Twitch. However, no one can say if Kai will make the jump yet. Twitch remains a titan in the streaming industry, and it would be risky for someone as established as him to switch to a less secure alternative. For more news and updates on Kai Cenat’s potential move to Kick, check out his conversation with Adin Ross over what the transition might look like.

Kai Cenat teases new song with IShowSpeed – Dexerto
Kai Cenat teases new song with IShowSpeed YouTube: Kai Cenat Live, IShowSpeedTwitch star Kai Cenat has teased his new upcoming song with fellow streamer IShowSpeed, and even gave a release date for their track. Kai Cenat is one of Twitch’s most prominent streamers, who took home the award for Streamer of the Year at the 2023 Streamer Awards. He also broke Ludwig’s and Ninja’s all-time subscriber records after his viral subathon in February and even received a gift from Twitch in recognition of his efforts. However, the broadcaster received a sudden, seven-day ban from Twitch earlier this month. His channel was finally reinstated this Monday, April 24… but it looks like he wasn’t spending his suspension relaxing in preparation for his comeback. Kai Cenat is making a song with IShowSpeed Instead, it seems as though the Twitch star was busy making a beat with banned Twitch streamer IShowSpeed. Since his ban, Speed has become a veritable phenomenon on YouTube, where he reigned as one of the most-watched broadcasters of 2022. Kai dropped this news in an Instagram live stream on April 26 alongside Speed. At first, it looked as though the two stars were speaking from their separate homes — but the two quickly appeared in the same frame together, showing that they’d been collabing in person. The two then revealed they’d been working on a song together, and they gave viewers a sneak peek of the track using a massive stereo. Judging by the small snippet played in the stream, Kai and Speed have sampled the Baha Men’s 2000’s classic, ‘Who Let The Dogs Out?’ Of course, this prompted Speed to start barking during the chorus — something that’s become a regular ‘thing’ of his over the course of his career. When does Kai Cenat & IShowSpeed’s song drop? The streamers claimed that their forthcoming song drops tomorrow, April 27 at 3 PM ET / 12 PM PST, presumably on their YouTube channels as a music video. Although it’s difficult to make out the lyrics from the sample they shared, fans are extremely curious to see if the song has any harsh words for Twitch after his sudden ban — as well as the site’s ‘gift’ of custom sneakers due to his subathon instead of an exclusive contract.

Kai Cenat swatted on day 2 of Twitch subathon – Dexerto
Kai Cenat swatted on day 2 of Twitch subathon Twitch: KaiCenatTwitch star Kai Cenat was swatted during day 2 of his month-long Twitch subathon but didn’t let it stop him from continuing to stream after the police left his house. As Twitch continues to grow in popularity, many streamers are falling victim to swatting incidents. Swatting happens when an anonymous person, presumably a viewer, finds a streamer’s address and calls the local police department to falsely report a major incident happening at the creator’s home. On February 2, 2023, Kai Cenat was swatted during the second day of his month-long Twitch subathon — but he was sure not to let it stop him from continuing to stream. Kai Cenat swatted on day 2 of Twitch subathon During his stream, Kai Cenat and his viewers were listening to various music videos when the Twitch star got up from his chair and walked away, explaining he was going to get some food. Minutes later, a Los Angeles Police officer can be seen walking past the camera to search Kai’s house, making sure nothing is going on. After returning, he unmuted his microphone to talk to chat: “Got swatted. They got us. It’s alright, though. It’s cool, we good… that sh*t just threw me the f*ck off.” (Clip starts at 6:19:00 in the VOD) Kai also explained that he has security staff outside his house and that they saw the police show up and alerted the Twitch star on his phone. “Shoutout to the LAPD, though, they were super cool. Came in, came out. That’s it,” he added. This marks the second incident since the beginning of his subathon, having accidentally featured a banned Twitch streamer on his broadcast — putting himself at risk for another ban.

Kai Cenat takes swipe at $40m Kick deal he turned down – Dexerto
Kai Cenat takes swipe at $40m Kick deal he turned down Kai CenatTwitch star Kai Cenat has seemingly taken a bit of a subtle dig at Kick, referencing the rumored $40 million offer they gave him – even though he initially denied it was sent to him. Kick has been making some waves in the livestreaming space in the last few months, trying to muscle in on Twitch’s dominance by offering out more streamer-friendly deals to some of the biggest names around. The Stake-backed streaming platform has already gotten the likes of xQc, Adin Ross, and BruceDropEmOff to make the move over, but seemingly struck out when trying to land Kai Cenat. Kai, who was openly having issues with Twitch over his contract, was heavily rumored to be the first major streamer to follow Adin to Kick, but that wasn’t the case. It was also claimed that he turned down a $40 million offer from them too, but he denied that and put Adin on blast in doing so. Though, he has made reference to it again. Kai Cenat raps about $40 million Kick offer he apparently rejected It came during the AMP 2023 Freshman Cypher as Kai took some shots at a range of things before moving on to “streaming s*it” and that apparent Kick offer. “I do my own thing and I put that on a cross. They offered me 40 (million), I told them double it for more. Then Rumble came in and started knocking right on that door,” Kai quickly rapped before moving on. While he doesn’t name Kick or anyone related to them, the reference to $40 million is a clear jab at that reported offer that never came to fruition. Timestamp of 1:29 As we know, Kai eventually inked a non-exclusive deal with Rumble for a show alongside IShowSpeed – which is aptly named The Kai ‘N Speed Show. He’s still streaming on Twitch at the same time and remains one of the biggest streamers that the Amazon-owned platform has got. Though, with Kick still planning on dishing out other big deals, who knows if he’ll get what he wants.

Kai Cenat stuns fans with “legendary” dance moves at Nicki Minaj concert – Dexerto
Kai Cenat stuns fans with “legendary” dance moves at Nicki Minaj concert Instagram: hotfreestyleTwitch star Kai Cenat is going viral for his smooth moves after joining rapper Nicki Minaj on stage for a live performance on May 1. YouTuber and Twitch streamer Kai Cenat was “living his best life” while dancing on stage at a Nicki Minaj performance in Brooklyn, NY on May 1. Kai pulled off some impressive chorography to the cheers of thousands of fans at the Barclays Center during Nicki’s song ‘Everybody’ featuring Lil Uzi Vert. In the middle of the song’s chorus, the streamer broke down into the worm and quickly transitioned into other popular moves, even doing a flip during the impromptu routine. It didn’t take long for netizens to spread videos showing Kai’s dancing skills, and they couldn’t help but give his performance rave reviews. “Damn, he knows how to dance well,” wrote one viewer. “Nah, he’s soooo certified,” said another with a crown emoji. Other fans also joked about Kai dancing like his “rent was due, while one even qualified him being on stage with Nicki Minaj as nothing short of “iconic.” Though noteworthy, Kai and Nicki’s performance in New York hasn’t been their only collaboration. In December 2023, the ‘Super Freaky Girl’ rapper joined Kai on Twitch. Her attendance even helped him break his viewership record — going from a peak of 227K to 348K views during the viral stream. While viewers were eager to see Nicki and hear all about the release of her Pink Friday 2 album, the rapper ended up annoying Kai’s fans by showing up six hours past their scheduled streaming time. One even called Nicki “super inconsiderate” and said that showing up late for 300K viewers was “insane.” Despite this negative reaction from her late appearance, her broadcast with Kai went mega-viral online, cementing the Twitch streamer into a bonafide internet icon (as if his fanbase accidentally starting a riot in Times Square last year wasn’t enough proof of his fame). Though Kai’s stream with Nicki broke his viewer record at the time, he has also seen success from streaming with other popular rappers like Offset, Ice Spice, and Blueface. Only time will tell who he brings on his Twitch next, as his online presence continues to go viral.

Kai Cenat surprised by custom Twitch gift after hitting 100k subs – Dexerto
Kai Cenat surprised by custom Twitch gift after hitting 100k subs Twitch: Kai CenatKai Cenat was left surprised when he received a custom neon sign from Twitch after becoming one of the most subscribed streamers on the platform. When you think of Twitch streamers gaining insane popularity on the platform, there’s one creator that comes to mind: Kai Cenat. Having just created his channel in January 2021, Kai has speed-run his path to the top of the platform having smashed through 100k subscribers and 133k concurrent viewers in less than two years. During a recent stream, Cenat was left surprised after opening a box from Twitch that held a custom branded neon sign as a celebration of his achievements. Kai Cenat surprised by custom gift from Twitch During his stream on October 4, he revealed that he received a package from Twitch and decided to unbox it on stream. After cutting open the box, he excitedly took the item out and showed it to his viewers. “They got me a custom light-up sign,” he said. Kai continued to remove the rest of the parts from the box before plugging it in, showing viewers what it looks like when lit up. (Topic starts at 10:30 in VOD) Since he began his massive ride to the top of Twitch, many have wondered why the platform hadn’t acknowledged his accomplishments. Either way, it appears Kai is happy that Twitch finally acknowledged him. While he’s not the top subscribed creator quite yet, he’s well on his way to hitting that goal as he’s just 7k subs under Casimoto who has over 110,000 subscribers at the time of writing.

It’s official. BruceDropEmOff is the latest Twitch star to join Adin Ross, Trainwreck, and more as Kick’s latest content creator.

Kai Cenat slams “petty” Twitch after Bruce joins Kick During the clip, Kai clarified that he doesn’t want Bruce to get banned from Twitch now that he’s streaming on Kick full-time. “Don’t get banned on Twitch. You’ll be able to multi-task. Me, you, and Rage can still do what we do, and you could still go hop on Omegle after. You still could go do what you wanna do,” he explained before slamming Twitch. “You know, Bruce. You know how petty Twitch is. How angry companies can be when you make certain decisions in your life, bro. I’m just saying, you got a target on your back now.” (Topic starts at 5:58 in the video) Since leaving OTK earlier in 2023, BruceDropEmOff has been hit with several bans on Twitch, including an indefinite suspension back on January 27 that saw him leave the platform for over a month before it was overturned. Bruce has yet to go live on his Kick channel since the announcement, but many are eagerly awaiting him to start his next stream. We’ll be sure to update you on his first broadcast as soon as it happens, but in the meantime, head over to our entertainment section for more news and other viral stories.

Kai Cenat smashes setup after losing $30,000 Fortnite wager – Dexerto
Kai Cenat smashes setup after losing $30,000 Fortnite wager Kai Cenat/Epic GamesTwitch star Kai Cenat smashed his entire streaming setup after losing a $30,000 Fortnite wager to his AMP colleague in the latest live broadcast. Here’s everything that went down. After years of steady viewership growth and consistently entertaining material, Kai Cenat is undeniably one of the most popular streamers in the business. In their pursuit to delight their devoted fan base, the streamer has spared no effort, whether it be streaming with Nicki Minaj or engaging in casual banter with Grand Theft Auto V actor Ned Luke. Notable for his collaborative video production and streaming from his AMP content company, the streamer is well-known in the industry for amusing his fans. A recent Twitch stream had Kai and Agent 00, founder of AMP, competing in a series of Fortnite and Call of Duty battles in a humorous manner. Kai may not have a reputation as a professional gamer, but he wagered his AMP coworker $30,000 and other perks all because he raised the stakes. All you need to know about the live stream and how his loss occurred throughout the wager is right here. Kai Cenat smashes entire streaming setup with a $30,000 wager loss against Agent 00 In his most recent Twitch broadcast, Kai Cenat challenged his AMP coworker and content group founder Agent 00 to a friendly competition to see who was the group’s top gamer. Agent was initially challenged to Call of Duty multiplayer matches and the wager was that he would have the opportunity to stream in Kai’s room for a week if he claimed victory. But as the competition went on, they finally agreed to a $30,000 cash wager that included three rounds of Call of Duty and Fortnite 1v1 battles. Although Kai made every effort to equal Agent’s expertise in both games, he ultimately failed miserably and lost the entire stake. Upon losing, the streamer proceeded to kick and break his entire gaming setup. Almost immediately after, Agent shared a first-person account of the wager, complete with footage of himself being paid by an AMP creator and showing off Kai’s now-destroyed setup. Looking at the destroyed setup Agent said, “His s**t is f*****g fried. He might have to get a new tripod, but everything is not (damaged) too bad.” Without a doubt, Kai is not happy about handing over his streaming room to Agent 00 for a week and the money, even though he hasn’t commented on the wager outcomes just yet.

Kai Cenat roasts Logan Paul & KSI’s PRIME Lemonade flavor – Dexerto
Kai Cenat roasts Logan Paul & KSI’s PRIME Lemonade flavor Twitch: Kai CenatTwitch star Kai Cenat received a box of Logan Paul and KSI’s new PRIME Hydration Lemonade flavor… but it looks like he wasn’t a big fan of the summertime beverage. It’s safe to say that Logan Paul and KSI’s PRIME Hydration drink line has been a massive success ever since it first launched back in early 2022. Now, PRIME has expanded from its modest flavor lineup to include a swath of new original tastes, on top of a line of flavor packets and even a lineup of PRIME Energy drinks. In May, PRIME Hydration unveiled a brand-new flavor for Summer 2023 — PRIME Lemonade. It’s already proven to be a popular hit with fans… but it doesn’t look like everyone’s crazy about it. Kai Cenat roasts new PRIME Hydration Lemonade flavor Twitch streamer Kai Cenat is just the latest personality to give his opinion on Logan Paul and KSI’s new drink flavor. The broadcaster tried out PRIME Lemonade during a recent live stream, where he was unboxing a bunch of packages from fans and companies. One of those boxes contained a 12-pack of PRIME Lemonade, and he was anxious to try it out for himself. It turns out that Kai is quite the Lemonade connoisseur, claiming that he drinks a glass of the stuff almost every day. With a refined palate as his, fans were anxious to see if it’d pass his taste test or not… and it looks like it didn’t. After carefully mixing the drink with some ice in a glass, Kai only had one word to say: “A**.” “Disappointed,” he continued. “A**. It’s actually a**. Bro, this is not lemonade, bro. This sh*t right here is not lemonade. I’ll keep it a stack. And KSI, you my mans. I love you to death. You should have called me for a taste test.” “What’s wrong with it?” he read aloud from his chat. “It doesn’t give lemonade!” It’s clear that Kai isn’t here for PRIME’s new flavor — but he isn’t the only major content creator throwing shade toward the brand right now. In fact, popular YouTuber ‘More Plates More Dates’ recently hit out at PRIME, claiming the beverage is “less effective for hydration than just tap water.” Renowned chef Gordon Ramsey also didn’t seem to be a fan of PRIME, either, saying drinking the stuff was like “swallowing perfume.” You can read our review on PRIME Hydration here, and find out where to snag a bottle for yourself here.

Most recently, Cenat went on A Safe Place Podcast where he talked about what goes on inside the AMP house, where he stands on the latest streamer beef, and his future goals and ambitions. And while Cenat is looking to shift his career outside the realm of Twitch and YouTube in the long run, a music career should definitely not be expected anytime soon. The Safe Place Podcast, hosted by Lil Yachty and MitchGoneMad, is a new channel with currently two videos on YouTube. Bringing on Cenat for their latest episode of the podcast, the crew discussed various topics before moving on to where Cenat sees himself in the future. “So, you’re at the top right now. What’s next?” Yachty asked. “Like I’m not talking about exact ideas but like where do you want to take your career? [sic]” “My angle is acting. Full-time acting” Cenat revealed, an answer that seemed to surprise Yachty and MitchGoneMad. In response to Cenat’s answer, Yachty followed up by asking “Is there still a world for casting that in the music industry?” “F*** no,” Cenat shot back, without a moment’s hesitation. “I know I’m not good at music… I can’t be in the studio bro [sic], it’s just hard and I respect everybody who does it.” With that possibility shut down, Cenat didn’t want to divulge too much about his future in acting, saying “I’m in the works. Can’t talk too much but things are definitely in the works.” However, he did offer some insight into what could be expected. Cenat said, “This summer I’m gonna be putting a lot of money aside to do high production value [sic]… I wanna be in movies, I want to do shows.” For all the latest entertainment news, be sure to check out our page here.

Kai Cenat roasted after claiming his streams are targeting adults only – Dexerto

However, Cenat had found himself at the center of drama on social media following comments he made on a recent stream in regards to children watching his content. Cenat began his rant by stating, “I don’t know who thinks and believes that I make content for kids but you’re dumb as sh*t.” The streamer then added, “The content that I make is for me and other grown adults, if your kids tune in, you gotta call their parents, that ain’t me…you can’t blame me if kids are tuning in.” Finally, Cenat explained how before each stream he includes a warning that the content audiences are about to watch is for those over the age of 18, and that he has no control if children then decide to click on his stream following the pop-up warning. “I can call up my Twitch rep and say, hey can you please take off that warning for my sh** but guess what, I leave it, you want to know why? Because hopefully you’re 18+ and watching this sh*t. It literally warns you before you click on my stream.” Following this explosive rant, Twitter users have begun roasting Cenat on social media. Calling the content creator out for allegedly pretending his content isn’t catered towards younger audiences and that this is “the biggest lie” they’ve ever heard. “I ain’t a hater but his humor really is just for kids 14 and below. Don’t get me wrong though some sh** is still funny, just not as much anymore,” wrote one Twitter user. Another added, “No one over the age of 18 is watching Kai Cenat, let’s be honest here.” Time will tell if Cenat decides to address the viral blowback surrounding his recent comments about his target audience, however, we’ll be sure to keep you in the know if the streamer does decide to acknowledge the online outcry in the coming weeks.

However, Kai’s Travis Scott listening party made the star risk a ban from the platform due to copyright issues. Kai Cenat risks Twitch ban with Travis Scott Utopia listening party With Scott’s album release right at midnight, it makes sense for Twitch stars like Kai Cenat to want to stream the release to fans. However, due to Twitch’s guidelines against streaming copyrighted songs on the platform — Kai may be hit with a copyright strike on his account sooner than later. “Using unauthorized music on Twitch may result in a rights holder sending a takedown request under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) or similar laws or through a separate contractual process,” reads Twitch’s TOS. “If a rights holder sends Twitch one of these takedown requests against content on your Twitch channel, it can result in enforcement against your channel, up to and including account termination.” At the time of writing, Kai’s channel is still available to check out, although the section where he listens to Utopia in the VoD has been silenced by Twitch.

Kai Cenat reveals the content creator that was his “childhood hero” – Dexerto
Kai Cenat reveals the content creator that was his “childhood hero” Kai CenatKai Cenat has praised YouTuber theRadBrad, calling him his childhood hero for always providing gaming content when he couldn’t afford to play certain games. Kai Cenat is one of the biggest streamers on Twitch, well known for his playthrough of video games like Elden Ring, Ghost of Tsushima and Red Dead Redemption. While not all of his content is gaming-focused, he remains a pillar in the community and even got the chance to be featured in a Fortnite commercial for their new Reload game mode. But when it comes to who inspired Kai Cenat, he recently revealed during a stream on June 23 that one YouTuber was the start of it all. “He is a legend. When I didn’t have the money to get certain video games, he was always there for me. And it’s not like he missed a video game, no. He would play literally every video game that there is. That’s insane,” said Kai Cenat on stream. For those who are not familiar with theRadBrad, he is a YouTuber with over 13 million subscribers on the platform. His content is focused on playing through any and all video games with the idea that it will be made available to everyone. After the clip of Kai Cenat started circulating around X, it garnered the attention of theRadBrad himself. In response to the clip, he praised the streamer for his own success. “Shoutout to Kai Cenat for the love. You deserve all the success in the world fam,” said theRadBrad on X. The comments underneath both posts relayed the same sentiment as Kai Cenat, saying that theRadBrad had been their own savior when it came to wanting to play games that not everyone could afford. There were even comments that talked about wanting to watch theRadBrad over playing the game for themselves.

Kai Cenat reveals Twitch CEO is willing to finally unban IShowSpeed – Dexerto
Kai Cenat reveals Twitch CEO is willing to finally unban IShowSpeed YouTube: Kai Cenat LiveKai Cenat has revealed that he asked Twitch to unban IShowSpeed and received a positive response, and now he wants CEO Dan Clancy to follow up on it. Whenever a streamer receives a permanent ban from Twitch, it typically is just that – permanent. Not many of them ever make a return, just ask Dr Disrespect. Some streamers have been shown leniency though, and have been able to return to the Amazon-owned platform after a few years of streaming elsewhere. IShowSpeed was permabanned from Twitch back in 2021 and has since carved out a successful career streaming on YouTube and, more recently, Rumble too. Plenty of streamers have petitioned Twitch for him to be able to return. Kai Cenat, who Speed streams alongside on Rumble, has been one of the most vocal streamers on that front and even used a recent meeting with Twitch to put it back out there. And, he received some positive signs. Twitch CEO gives Kai Cenat positive answer on unbanning IShowSpeed It was something that came up during his July 31 stream, as Kai revealed that he’d sat down with Twitch CEO Dan Clancy recently and got to ask a few personal questions. That included an opening question about Speed’s ban. “We sat down with the CEO. The first couple of questions I asked: ‘Yo, we need Speed unbanned ASAP!’” Kai said. The Twitch star quickly added that Clancy said “I agree” on that front. “So, CEO, do what you’ve got to do. Okay? CEO, do what you’ve got to do!” he continued. Kai further noted that he “requested a lot of things” from Twitch, but didn’t quite go into specifics as to what they were. He just hoped that the platform “fulfilled” at least some of them, but wasn’t going to get his hopes up about them all. So, it remains to be seen as to what they may give him moving forward.

Kai Cenat responds to “transphobic” comment accusations during Adin Ross Twitch stream – Dexerto
Kai Cenat responds to “transphobic” comment accusations during Adin Ross Twitch stream Twitch: Kai CenatTwitch streamer Kai Cenat has responded to claims that he and Adin Ross made transphobic comments on a stream after coming under fire from different corners of the Twitch community. Kai Cenat’s Twitch takeover is unlike anything we’ve seen in 2022, as the content creator has ascended past streaming alums such as xQc on his way to the top. Alongside claiming the top spot for himself, he has been collaborating with other stars such as Lil Baby and Adin Ross. However, Cenat is now under fire from other creators such as Kaceytron, for transphobic comments that were made during a stream with Ross. Kai Cenat and Adin Ross accused of using “transphobic” language during Twitch stream During Kai Cenat and Adin Ross’s Twitch stream on November 7, the pair were hanging out with two female viewers. As they got to know them more, Cenat and Ross began to question the taller woman of the duo, directing their attention toward her voice. Ross claimed that it “was weird” to hear the deeper register of the woman’s voice with Cenat asking: “why’s her voice so deep?” The clip quickly made its way across social media, with Cenat offering his own response on stream, as he came under fire for his comments, where the pair reportedly use “him” to describe them. “No, oh my god, no, I’m not, I’m not saying ‘him’,” explained Cenat. The Twitch star claimed he was “literally not saying him” and was saying “add them” instead. Soon after the Twitch stream, Kaceytron posted via Twitter: “Love waking up to see that some of the biggest communities on Twitch are transphobic and homophobic.” “None of the other big streamers care though, they just want to collab with them while virtue signaling that they care. They don’t. They’re fake AF,” the streamer added. While many followers of Kaceytron were unsure what she was referring to, she made it directly clear that her post was about Cenat and Ross’s actions. Kaceytron explained that “it’s just disappointing to see… if I said some shit like that all these big streamers would be dragging me for filth.” “But watch, since it’s a popular streamer they will barely mention it and gloss over,” she concluded. Cenat and Ross have yet to comment on the situation further via social media.

Kai Cenat reveals insane earnings from NPC TikTok livestream in only one hour – Dexerto
Kai Cenat reveals insane earnings from NPC TikTok livestream in only one hour Twitch/TikTok: KaiCenatTwitch star Kai Cenat has joined in on the NPC TikTok trend, and earned a crazy amount during just one hour of TikTok Live streaming. The NPC trend is one that cropped up very suddenly on TikTok, but the biggest creators doing it have become viral sensations across the internet. PinkyDoll is one of the leading NPCs on TikTok right now, making thousands of dollars every day and the voice behind the “ice cream so good” meme that has been all across social media. Since then, a number of streamers have taken to TikTok Live to try their hand at NPC streams, including iShowSpeed and ExtraEmily. Kai Cenat earns thousands in one-hour NPC stream Kai Cenat is the latest name to join the trend, taking to TikTok Live for just one hour to be an NPC — and the rewards were certainly fruitful. Showing his earnings on screen, Kai revealed that he earned $6,000 from his hour-long stream. He said: “We made $6000 sitting on our ass and going live on TikTok.” The actual amount shown on screen was $5372.45, so a bit under $6000, but definitely nothing to complain about for an hour’s work. With the NPC trend now reaching fever pitch, it will be interesting to see whether it really stands the test of time in the content world, or if it will die off as quickly as it came about.

Kai Cenat responds after accusations of ‘not helping’ alleged rape victim – Dexerto
Kai Cenat responds after accusations of ‘not helping’ alleged rape victim Twitch: Kai CenatTwitch streamer Kai Cenat has responded to accusations that he did ‘not help’ an alleged rape victim while she attended a party he invited her to. On January 6, Jovi Pena, a TikToker with over 120,000 followers, alleged that she had been raped at a party Kai Cenat had invited her to. She claimed the man, named Djigui Seck, was a stranger to her at the time but had raped her after discovering her upstairs in bed. It is also alleged that Kai told her to go upstairs as “nobody would bother” her. “I don’t believe Kai is to blame,” she continued, “however he was involved whether you agree or not it’s just a fact. He’s the only person I knew at this party and he’s the one who told me to go upstairs where everything occurred.” Early on January 7, Kai Cenat went live on Twitch to address the situation and “clear” his name. Kai Cenat response He began: “Very important. I do not, under any circumstances, condone any sexual activity without consent.” He went on to explain that he was throwing a party in New York City on New Year’s Eve 2022. It was there that he met Pena, saying he did not know her beforehand. However, he also stated that he has no intentions to “bash” Pena and he has significant sympathy for her. Discussing Djigui Seck, the man accused of the rape, Kai said that they attended high school together. “He’s a friend that I genuinely know,” he explained. “This is somebody that I know personally.” On the topic of not replying to Pena’s allegations immediately, Kai said that as soon as he found out what was being alleged, he went to the police: “Instantly I went to my legal team, I went to the police… My legal team told me: ‘Kai do not reply. Do not text anyone. Do not talk about the situation to anybody.’” His legal team have since given him the “green light” to discuss the matter, hence why he went live from the UK early on January 7. “I’ve been accused of this being set up and I knew what was going on,” he continued. “Negative. Negative. That’s disgusting. That’s the reason why I’m kinda mad… I don’t know sh*t that went down that night.” He said that the day after, when Pena contacted him, he pledged to help her. He went on to confront Seck, describing his friend as being in “complete shock” and “legitimately confused” by the allegations. “I have stepped aside from him and her since it happened,” Kai said. “The only person I’ve been in conversation with is the law. My lawyers, my legal team. Nobody else.” Throughout, Kai asked his audience to avoid going to Pena’s social media accounts and harassing her. He also promised to keep fans as updated as is possible moving forwards.

Kai Cenat responds to QTCinderella’s joke about him at the Streamer Awards – Dexerto
Kai Cenat responds to QTCinderella’s joke about him at the Streamer Awards Twitch: Kai CenatKai Cenat has responded to QTCinderalla’s joke poking fun at the accusations that the Twitch star had a sexual act performed on him during his subathon. Kai Cenat has quickly grown to become one of the biggest stars on Twitch in the last couple of months. During his month-long subathon, the 21-year-old became the most-subscribed streamer on the Amazon-owned platform, amassing over 300,000 subscribers. Throughout the record-breaking subathon — absolutely smashing the previous sub-record by Ludwig — fans saw just about every aspect of Kai’s life with the camera on him almost every second. One segment of the broadcast, however, got fans debating whether or not they saw a bit too much into his life, as viewers believed it looked like the streamer was having a sex act performed on him mid-stream. Potentially risking a ban from Twitch, Kai denied the allegations and quickly deleted the clip from his channel. Although, that didn’t stop fellow streamer QTCinderalla from firing shots at him during the Streamer Awards. Kai Cenat responds to QTCinderall’s Streamer Awards joke In a March 18 broadcast, Kai finally responded to QTCinderalla’s joke about him during the beginning of the Streamer Awards. Opening up the show, QT joked she hadn’t seen that many millionaires get “j*rked off” since Kai’s subathon. Hitting back, the streamer was adamant that he didn’t have the sexual act performed on him, claiming he was having his knee rubbed. “She made a little joke about me in the beginning,” Kai said. “She said she hadn’t seen this many millionaires get j*rked off since Kai’s subathon.” “I’ll have you know, that b*tch was rubbing my knee,” he exclaimed. “My knees! She was rubbing my knees!” Kai’s chat was spammed with viewers saying ‘cap’ — with many still believing he did in fact have the act performed on him. However, as the streamer noted, there’s no way to get viewers to believe him.

Kai Cenat proposes unusual plan to solve drama between streamers and Twitch – Dexerto
Kai Cenat proposes unusual plan to solve drama between streamers and Twitch Twitch: Kai CenatKai Cenat had a unique take on how to settle the streaming community’s anger towards Twitch management: hold a big Discord call with all the top streamers and the company’s CEO. The top streamer, who recently launched a new streaming show on Rumble with IShowSpeed, proposed the solution on stream in the wake of significant backlash to Twitch’s new policies, which would clamp down on streamers’ rights to show advertisements or other sponsored content. The policies were slammed for limiting creator freedom by some of the largest members of the streaming community, and led to Twitch apologising for the “mess up”. However, tension between Twitch and its top talent remains high. Kai Cenat proposes top Twitch streamers get together in call with CEO Kai Cenat, who himself is one of Twitch’s largest streamers, proposed a unique solution to the drama on stream, where he suggested that he and all the other largest creators on the platform hop in a call with the CEO “Twitch CEO, let’s sit down in a Discord call, how about that? Look, get the top streamers on your platform, put us in a Discord call. If you’re really about that, put us in a Discord call, OK? “Bring xQc, bring me, bring whoever you gotta bring in. We’re going to tell you what you’re doing right, and what you’re doing wrong.” It’s a bold plan, but with the way things are going, it’s clear that Twitch need to be more connected with the opinon of its top talent, so they can avoid backlash about further changes. Maybe a roundtable with the biggest stars on the site is what’s needed to get everyone on the same page. For more news and updates on the growing tension between streamers and Twitch, check out xQc’s prediction on what will happen in the industry.

Kai Cenat puts Adin Ross on blast for ‘capping’ about $40M Kick offer – Dexerto
Kai Cenat puts Adin Ross on blast for ‘capping’ about $40M Kick offer Twitch: Kai CenatTwitch star Kai Cenat has put Adin Ross on blast after he claimed that Kai & IShowSpeed were offered $40M each to stream on Kick. Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed have been at the top of their game recently, becoming the top streamers on Twitch and YouTube respectively. They signed a deal with Rumble for their own show on May 15, 2023, and just a few hours later Adin Ross claimed they were offered $40M to stream on Kick exclusively. According to Kai Cenat, however, Adin’s claims aren’t correct and he did not turn down a $40M offer to stream exclusively on Kick. Kai Cenat puts Adin Ross on blast for ‘capping’ During his stream on May 15, Kai called out Adin for his claims that Kick offered him money. “I did not turn [it] down. That’s not an actual leak. That’s not. That’s cap, on my soul. On my soul that is cap,” he said. “What is he doing? Why is he doing that?” He went on to share his thoughts about Adin talking about the alleged offer in the first place. “Here’s the only thing I don’t like. Even if that was an offer, why even talk about it? I’ll call him off-stream. That’s weird bro,” Kai added. The Twitch star didn’t make it clear whether or not he plans on moving away from the purple app, so a move to Kick could still be in the works for Kai. We’ll have to wait to see what happens, and we’ll be sure to update you when or if Kai or Speed announces a new exclusive contract with another streaming platform. In the meantime, check out Kai Cenat & IShowSpeed’s new show collaboration.

Kai Cenat passes out on stream after taking way too many edibles – Dexerto
Kai Cenat passes out on stream after taking way too many edibles Twitch: KaiCenatKai Cenat was left in a pretty bad way on his Twitch stream after consuming way too many edibles, eventually passing out, head hanging, with thousands of viewers watching on in amusement. Kai Cenat’s rise to Twitch stardom has been nothing short of incredible, even overtaking Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel to be the number one most subscribed streamer on the platform at one point in 2022. His nonstop, action-packed streams never leave viewers without constant entertainment, but in his January 23 broadcast, he bit off a little more than he could chew (literally) when he decided to do edibles on-stream. What followed was Kai becoming progressively more tired and less energetic, as expected, before finally he completely passed out, hanging in his chair and definitely out for the count. Eventually, Kai’s stream was ended for him, as he struggled to stay awake and keep his audience entertained. As noted by Kai in a tweet before the incident, this was actually his first time trying edibles, so he likely hadn’t put too much consideration into dosage and how much it could affect him on-stream. Kai had shown off some of what he had picked up at the start of his stream, totaling over 500mg, insisting that he was “not going to green out,” but asking his chat how much he should take. He also laughed off recommended guidelines after Googling how much he should use. The stream could risk moderation from Twitch, which has strict rules about what it calls “self-destructive” behaviour, which includes the use of drugs or alcohol to the point of potential physical harm. Twitch’s community guidelines also state, “we do not make exceptions for self-destructive behavior performed as a stunt or gag made in jest, or meant to entertain, when the behavior could reasonably be expected to cause physical injury.” Regardless, it’s fair to say Kai probably won’t be making the same mistake again, and next time he’ll be better equipped to make an informed decision with his edibles.

Kai Cenat planning live Hunger Games-style event with 50 popular influencers – Dexerto
Kai Cenat planning live Hunger Games-style event with 50 popular influencers Twitch: Kai CenatContent creator Kai Cenat revealed that he has been planning a Hunger Games-style streaming event for the past six months and is aiming to have 50 of the world’s most popular creators participate in it live. Kai Cenat has quickly emerged as one of the biggest names in the content creator space. The American streamer has broken multiple Twitch records, including while streaming in his sleep. Notably, his recent Elden Ring run garnered major views. During his May 22, 2024 stream, Cenat dropped a major tease. Revealing to his audience that he is currently in the process of developing the first-ever live Hunger Games-style stream. While Cenat was mostly tight-lipped about the exact details of this upcoming streaming event, he did admit that he has been working on it for six months. Explaining on stream how he will “be hosting the very first fully professionally organized live Hunger Games.” When his chat then began to blow up, the streamer told his audience to “hear me out” and “let me cook”, before unpacking the idea in more detail. “I want drones, I want combat suits…this has to be huge,” Cenat added before also revealing that he plans to have roughly 50 of the most popular content creators across the world involved. His eyes set on MrBeast as one of the first people to sign up for what could be one of the biggest streaming collaborations of all time. Furthermore, Cenat also stated that he is in talks with the sporting and clothing brand Nike to serve as an official sponsor for the event. The Hunger Games was one of the most popular book and film franchises throughout the 2010s. An era in which the YA dystopian genre boomed in popularity, with other franchises such as Twilight, Divergent, and The Maze Runner all dominating the space. While this is not much to go off, expect to hear Cenat speak more on his upcoming Hunger Games-style stream in the coming weeks and months.

Kai Cenat loses top spot on Twitch as Jynxzi overtakes him again with huge sub count – Dexerto
Kai Cenat loses top spot on Twitch as Jynxzi overtakes him again with huge sub count Twitch: KaiCenat / JynxziTwitch’s top streamer Kai Cenat technically isn’t top – for now – at least in terms of total subscribers, as Rainbow Six Siege streamer Jynxzi has once again overtaken him. Although there are a few ways to measure who the most popular streamer on Twitch is (viewers, followers, watch time, etc.), subscribers is the figure that often matters most to the streamers themselves. That’s because this is the figure that directly puts money in their pocket, and while brand deals and advertisement revenue can be substantial for the biggest streamers, everyone likes the target of increasing their sub count. For much of 2023, Kai Cenat has topped not only the charts for watch time and followers gained, but also total sub count. He often hovers around 100,000 subscribers. But, just as the year comes to a close, he has lost his top spot to Jynxzi, and not for the first time this year. Jynxzi reclaims most-subbed Twitch streamer spot Jynxzi’s rise in 2023 is even more impressive given his streams primarily consist of Rainbow Six Siege, which, as a category, is far from Twitch’s most popular. Despite this, he now averages over 30,000 viewers. And his engaging content has earned him many fans who are more than happy to subscribe, and gift subs to others as well, helping eclipse the 100,000 subscriber mark again. According to TwitchTracker, which does note that the statistics are not exact and will have a margin of error, just under 10,000 of these subs are gifted, with 31,000 paid, and 23,000 through Prime. However, there is clearly a large portion of subs not accounted for at all in these figures. At the time of writing, Kai Cenat follows closely behind with just over 100,000 subs as well, and a big gap from 3rd place, which is Italian streamer Dario Moccia, with approximately 57,000 subscribers. Jynxzi’s previous sub-record reached as high as 130,000. Kai Cenat still holds the all-time most subs record with over 300,000. Kai Cenat is still generally considered the most popular streamer, with his average viewership almost double Jynxzi’s, but the two will likely continue to go head-to-head for the top spot in 2024.

Kai Cenat, MrBeast, IShowSpeed win big at Streamy Awards 2022 – Dexerto
Kai Cenat, MrBeast, IShowSpeed win big at Streamy Awards 2022 YouTubeStreaming’s night of nights is over for 2022, with the Streamy Awards crowning plenty of new stars in the content creator space. The big wins of the night went to Kai Cenat and MrBeast, with other big names like IShowSpeed, HasanAbi, and Ludwig also recognized. The Streamys is online content creation’s night of nights as top streamers and influencers converge to celebrate the achievements of the last year. In 2022, that featured plenty of new faces with an influx of fresh talent in the 12 months prior. While there weren’t many multiple award winners on the night, a few names stood out more than most. Twitch sensation Kai Cenat won Streamer of the Year following his explosive rise up the platform’s charts, while Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson won Creator of the Year with his ever-expanding repertoire of high-budget viral videos. “I feel like I’m at the Grammys right now man,” Kai Cenat said while accepting his award. “I want to thank my family, my friends, who on a day-to-day basis push me to be the best I can be.” MrBeast won three awards on the night, including Creator for Social Good (won jointly with Mark Rober) and Best Brand Engagement for the #TeamSeas campaign. He wasn’t there in person to actually accept the award, but host Eric ‘Airrack’ Decker called him in to accept the big gong at the end of the show: “Sorry I couldn’t make it. I literally just got back from Antartica. Thank you, and I love all of you.” The other creators joining MrBeast in the multiple awards club for Streamys 2022 were Mark ‘Markiplier’ Fischbach (Best Gamer, Best Scripted Series), Cooking With Lynja (Best Food, Best Editing), and Rober (who also won Best Science and Engineering and Best Collaboration). On the streaming side of things, Darren ‘IShowSpeed’ Watkins Jr. was recognized for his rapid rise by taking home Best Breakout Streamer — despite the fact Kai Cenat, who won Streamer of the Year, was also in the same category. Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel won Best Just Chatting Streamer, while Ludwig Ahgren took home the Best Variety Streamer prize. CodeMiko was named Best VTuber, ahead of the four VShojo talents of Ironmouse, Nyanners, Veibae, and Zentreya. Finally, Streamys 2022 host Airrack took home Best First Person Content, while Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker grabbed the Best News Content gong.

Kai Cenat loses it on Twitch as MW2 teammates scream racist and homophobic slurs – Dexerto
Kai Cenat loses it on Twitch as MW2 teammates scream racist and homophobic slurs YouTube: Kai Cenat LiveTwitch star Kai Cenat hit back at his teammates during a broadcasted MW2 game after they screamed racist and homophobic slurs in a tense confrontation. Kai Cenat is one of the most popular streamers on Twitch and currently reigns as the site’s most-subscribed broadcaster, on top of boasting a whopping 3.2 million followers. Unfortunately, as one of the platform’s biggest stars, he’s had his fair share of run-ins with haters, trolls, and critics — such as the time he was swatted earlier this year. On November 28, Cenat experienced another incident after teammates in a game of Modern Warfare 2 lashed out at him and a second player with a slew of racist and homophobic slurs. Initially, Cenat simply tried to shout over the din of hateful comments, but eventually hit back at the teammates in an expletive-strewn clapback as they continued to harass him and his fellow player. Kai Cenat brutally lashes out at racist teammates in MW2 stream “Well, I would be f*cking mad if I was f*cking broke and… didn’t know what to do for the rest of my f*cking life,” Cenat shouted. “You’re a thirty-year-old f*cking bastard, you f*cking b*tch.” “I’m gonna steal your Bud Lite and your cigarettes and shove it up your sister’s a, you f*cking f*cker. You dumba* b*tch. Enjoy the student loans, b*tch.” Cenat certainly has the money to back up his claims; recently, the streamer was able to purchase a house for his mother after achieving great success on Twitch, something he claimed had been a lifelong goal for him. Kai Cenat is not the first person of color to have endured such behavior from players during a live broadcast; in fact, prominent rapper T-Pain also experienced racism during a Call of Duty stream back in April and expertly shut down the trolls in a clip that went viral. Modern Warfare 2 will soon have tools to combat hateful behavior, as well, with the game set to release a new reporting system that will let Infinity Ward moderators mute toxic players’ voice chat.

Kai Cenat loses most subscribed Twitch crown as Jynxzi hits 100k subscribers – Dexerto
Kai Cenat loses most subscribed Twitch crown as Jynxzi hits 100k subscribers Twitch: KaiCenat / JynxziTwitch streamer Kai Cenat is no longer the most subscribed-to streamer on Twitch, as Rainbow Six streamer Jynxzi has beaten him in a battle for top spot, eclipsing over 100,000 subscribers. Kai Cenat first took the number 1 spot on the Twitch subscriber list on October 15, 2022. The AMP streamer continued to rise to new heights, setting a Twitch record of 300,000 subscribers. But since that 300,000 peak, Kai Cenat’s sub count has fallen, as his subathon ended and sub count returned to more natural levels. Kai also recently found himself in trouble with authorities, after a riot broke out during a giveaway he held in his hometown of New York. To double up on his unfortunate start to August, shortly after the riot incident, Rainbow Six streamer Jynxzi took the top subscribed spot from Kai. Jynxzi’s rise to Twitch superstardom Jynxzi is a talented Rainbow Six player, being a consistent contender at the Champion rank. But the Rainbow Six Siege community isn’t drawn to him for his gun skill. Rather, he is an entertainer first, often sending voice messages to enemy players mid-game after he takes them out in-game. He also reacts to fan clips, giving commentary on their plays. But even the Rainbow Six Siege community didn’t expect him to reach the number one spot on Twitch. Jynxzi himself was shocked as his Twitch subscriber count ticked over to 100,000. On Twitter, he shared his reaction, with an image of him atop the charts, with a total of 101,494 subscribers, with the caption, “#1 in the WORLD.” He also had a message for fans, telling them to not “let anybody tell you sh*t.” Jynxzi has many loyal supporters, and many congratulated him on his rise to the top of the Twitch charts. One said, “[You] Definitely deserve it over anyone else on that list.” Kai Cenat himself, however, is yet to react on Twitter to being overtaken by Jynxzi. In addition to his huge sub count, Jynxzi’s average viewership has reached new heights too, regularly attracting over 24,000 concurrent viewers on his streams.

Kai Cenat loses it after trying Apple Vision Pro for first time – Dexerto
Kai Cenat loses it after trying Apple Vision Pro for first time Twitch: Kai CenatKai Cenat freaked out on stream after trying out the Apple Vision Pro for the first time, being fully immersed in a music video along with a half-naked Jynxzi. It’s been over a week since Apple’s Vision Pro was released, and much has been said about the AR headset as it lights social media on fire with all kinds of discourse. From its ability to multitask and even play LoL, to its well-documented design flaws. Despite it all, the high-end piece of tech is retailing at $3,499, and it’s no surprise that for many first-time users, plenty are losing it upon first experiencing the headset. This is exactly how Twitch superstar Kai Cenat reacted upon trying out his pair for the first time, experiencing the device’s full immersion. Upon booting it up and seeing the virtual screens for the first time, he stood up in amazement, hollering at the screens. He went on to try and grab the screens he was seeing. In fact, shouting in amazement was much of his reaction. Funnily enough, during the setup process, the language might’ve been set to Mandarin on his device as he looked confused by one of the screens he was seeing on his pair. Once he got the screen share to work on his stream, he went on to check out what YouTube was like on the device, watching a Young Boy Never Broke Again music video. What might be the highlight of Kai’s first time though, is when he checked out Jynxzi’s stream, only to be met with a half-naked Jynxzi of which he had a full immersive view of on his Vision Pro. “What the f***. What the f*** is going on here Jynxzi?” Kai yelled out in surprise at the stream. He went on to check out Summit1G’s livestream and an Ice Spice music video. Needless to say, it’s quite clear Kai had some fun with the Vision Pro.

Streamer Kai Cenat “done” with Twitch after being handed 30 day ban YouTube: Kai CenatTwitch streamer Kai Cenat has been banned from the platform for the third time, resulting in a 30 days suspension which is by far his longest yet. Kai Cenat is a YouTuber and Twitch streamer who’s amassed a sizeable following with IRL videos involving all types of stunts from pranking famous rappers to turning his house into a petting zoo. Although he’s built a huge audience on YouTube, with nearly 2 million subscribers, his growth on Twitch has been stifled as he’s been hit with multiple bans on the platform in the past. On March 2, he was banned for the third time – this one lasting for an entire month. Kai Cenat lands third Twitch ban Kai was suspended from Twitch on March 2. According to Streamer Bans, this was Kai’s third suspension in just the last nine months. The ban comes after Kai was seen on stream the same day shouting over a video of himself and his YouTube group AMP: “Oh my f**king God, I hate y’all monkeys, bro. Monkeys get me tight, monkeys gotta die, monkeys must die.” Star Twitch streamer Mizkif came to Kai’s defense over the ban and said, “Actual f**king garbage. Do you have a rep on Twitch? Message me.” Actual fucking garbage. Do you have a rep on twitch? Message me — Mizkif (@REALMizkif) March 2, 2022 Mizkif lent his help to Kai, as Miz has been through being banned from Twitch before. As of now, Kai Cenat’s ban has yet to be lifted or altered in any way, and he is still serving out his 30-day suspension.

Kai Cenat loses his mind after SZA posts his Twitch clip on Instagram YouTube: Kai Cenat Live / Instagram: szaPopular Twitch streamer Kai Cenat couldn’t contain his excitement after R&B singer SZA posted a clip from his stream to her Instagram stories. Kai Cenat is one of the most popular streamers on Twitch. Boasting over 3 million followers on the platform, he’s also the site’s most-subscribed creator for all languages, successfully beating out xQc in October 2022. Cenat has had his fair share of celebrity interactions after gaining fame as an online entertainer, most notably streaming with rapper Blueface and his partner Chrisean Rock during a dramatic broadcast back in November. Now, he’s got another music artist to add to his repertoire after SZA unexpectedly gave him a shout-out that caught him by surprise. For context, SZA released her new album, called ‘SOS,’ on December 9, and decided to shout out her fans by posting their reactions to the music to her Instagram stories. Kai Cenat is a huge SZA fan and was streaming at the time her album dropped, playing the music for his audience on Twitch and even lighting a candle in celebration of her smooth tunes. His chat instantly exploded, claiming that SZA had actually posted a clip of his reaction to her Instagram stories — a claim that he wasn’t willing to believe until he saw it for himself. Kai Cenat breaks down after SZA posts him on Instagram Quickly, Cenat navigated to her Instagram stories, where he saw the clip of himself dancing to SZA’s music. The artist captioned his video with a slew of crying emojis, clearly amused by his antics. Cenat, for his part, couldn’t contain his enthusiasm, screaming, jumping up and down, and running across his room in excitement. “I got her laughing!” he yelled. “Yo, what the f*ck is going on? …none of her exes ever made her laugh that much!” That’s not all — he also sent her a flirtatious DM on Instagram to shoot his shot. Although it’s unclear if Cenat’s dreams of dating SZA will ever come to fruition, it’s certainly nice to see him being recognized by one of his favorite artists, either way.

Kai Cenat & IShowSpeed release “Dogs” music video Uploaded on April 27, the sub-two-minute song and accompanying video show Kai and Speed in the backyard of what could be one of their houses.

It’s unknown whether or not this will be the only song released by Kai and Speed, so we’ll have to wait to see what they have up their sleeve in the future. YouTubers creating music together is nothing new, sure, but this collab has been nothing short of meteoric in just the short time it’s been out.

Kai Cenat & IShowSpeed’s first Rumble stream hits massive viewership peak – Dexerto
Kai Cenat & IShowSpeed’s first Rumble stream hits massive viewership peak Rumble/The Kai ‘N Speed ShowKai Cenat & IShowSpeed’s debut on Rumble hit a massive viewership peak for their over three-hour debut stream on the platform. On May 15, 2023, Kai Cenat & IShowSpeed revealed they had signed an exclusive deal with Rumble to host “The Kai ‘N Speed Show.” The two stars have been friends for quite some time, but Speed’s permanent ban from Twitch has prevented him from joining Kai’s broadcasts. The first episode of their show took place on May 26, 2023, and they managed to hit a massive viewership peak to set them off on the right foot, even though the broadcast had some technical issues at first. The Kai ‘N Speed show hits massive viewership Thanks to Streams Charts, we know just how well Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed’s first show together really did. They shared the statistics in a post on Twitter, revealing that the stream reached 133,000 peak viewers in just under four hours they were live. On top of that, the Twitch & YouTube stars managed an average of 87,306 the entire time. Kai Cenat’s highest peak viewership over the course of May 2023 is 81,879 — just over half of their new Rumble show. However, Kai set a personal viewership record of 283,245 on November 10, 2022, so The Kai ‘N Speed show has quite a bit before breaking Kai’s personal viewership record. Rumble has been growing quite a bit over the last few weeks, bringing on the likes of Kai, Speed, Jidion, and most recently Mizkif. We’ll keep you up to date on Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed’s Rumble show as new episodes are released, but in the meantime, you can head over to our entertainment section for more news and other viral stories.

Kai Cenat & IShowSpeed gifted a house by Rumble CEO but won’t live in it – Dexerto
Kai Cenat & IShowSpeed gifted a house by Rumble CEO but won’t live in it Kai Cenat / TWITCHKai Cenat announced on stream that Rumble’s CEO has bought him and IShowSpeed a content house in Miami, however, they won’t be living in it. Content houses have appeared a thing of the past over the previous few years as an increasing amount of creators have moved on to other things for various reasons. Most notable ones included Jake Paul’s infamous Team 10 mansions, OpTic Gaming’s many houses, and the LA pad belonging to 100 Thieves, which have all come to an end. In 100 Thieves’s case, who ended their shared house in March after most of the original members had already left, Nadeshot expressed the reason was they simply just got “older.” However, Kai Cenat’s ‘AMP house’ has proven to be one of the last few successful joint creator houses remaining, featuring members such as Duke Dennis and Agent 00. Now Kai and IShowSpeed look set to be starting another content house of their own all thanks to Rumble’s CEO. Kai Cenat reveals a content house with IShowSpeed is coming Kai was streaming over in the UK due to him taking a trip over to play in the Sidemen Charity Game, where he made his “Huge announcement,” while live on Twitch. “Shoutout to the CEO of Rumble. Um, whenever I am in Miami they got us a new house that we could just go by. Me and Speed,” Kai said. Unlike typical content houses, where people live together and constantly stream or record YouTube and social media videos, much like how the AMP house is, this new-age collaboration was detailed to be purely used for producing content when they’re there. “No we are not going to be living in there, we are not going to be moving in and sh*t like that. It’s just for us, our sh*t. That’s probably the best news I had in the past week,” he later said. Some other streamers are looking to bring back the popularity of content houses in 2023, after Sneako has said that he is looking to start a group house with Adin Ross, Fousey, and others.

Kai Cenat & IShowSpeed join Rumble for exclusive livestreaming show – Dexerto
Kai Cenat & IShowSpeed join Rumble for exclusive livestreaming show YouTube/Kai CenatTwo of Twitch and YouTube’s biggest stars, Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed, are joining forces for a new, and exclusive, livestreaming deal on Rumble. The pair, for now, will still continue to stream on their own platforms too, but this deal could be a sign of things to come. Kai Cenat is currently the fourth most-subscribed to streamer on Twitch, and still holds the record for the most subs at one time. Equally, IShowSpeed commands a massive audience on YouTube, while he continues to serve a permanent ban from Twitch. Despite their success, the pair have faced repeated moderation actions against their accounts. Speed is believed to be on his ‘final strike’ on YouTube following previous bans. His most recent came on February 27, for “spam or deceptive practices.” And for Kai, despite his hugely successful subathon, where he broke the sub record, his channel was banned for seven days after a GTA stream. He threatened to leave the platform if banned again. For now, neither streamer is leaving their platform permanently, but have agreed a deal with Rumble for an exclusive livestream show together. Sources told Dexerto that they are also still in discussions for a possible longer-term contract too, but nothing is finalized yet. Speed & Kai’s Rumble deal The pair are currently unable to stream together on Twitch due to Speed’s permanent ban. Kai actually attempted to negotiate Speed’s unban with Twitch, but was unsuccessful, according to Dexerto sources. The pair are good friends, who recently collaborated on a song together. As a result, they will now team up on Rumble, where they can stream together with no concerns. For now, the plan is only to host a handful of these exclusive shows per month, with their regular content remaining on Twitch and YouTube. The streamers will have total control of their content on Rumble, with the platform sticking to their values of creative freedom. The first exclusive livestream show will take place on May 26, and is officially called The Kai ‘N Speed Show. In the official announcement, Kai said “Being able to have full creative control was important for us,” said Kai Cenat. “I’m grateful that we get to do what we always do and combine audiences on a new level with Rumble.” “We are very excited to partner with Rumble on this show,” added IShowSpeed. “We know our fans are going to love what we have in the works, a few surprises, plus it’s always a crazy time when me and Kai are together.” Rumble as a platform has previously offered refuge to creators who feel persecuted elsewhere, including Andrew Tate, SteveWillDoIt, Sneako, and Leafy. However, as a result, the platform is now stigmatized as a place for controversial creators, whose views or actions have been deemed unfit for some of the more established sites, namely Twitch and YouTube. Although Speed and Kai have certainly had their controversies, neither have been exiled from their platforms and continue to be immensely popular. Rumble is aware of its perception, and the signings of Kai and Speed can be seen as a move to appeal to a wider audience of young fans. What is Rumble? Rumble is a video and livestreaming platform that explicitly positions itself as an alternative to rivals by being “immune to cancel culture.” “We are for people with something to say and something to share, who believe in authentic expression, and want to control the value of their own creations,” Rumble’s CEO Chris Pavlovski states. Intended or not, this vision has led to Rumble being perceived as a haven for those creators whose views or actions are unacceptable on other platforms and so are banned. Most infamously, Andrew Tate joined Rumble in August 2022. Explaining the decision at a time when Tate was being banned by the majority of social platforms, Pavlovski said, “Providing a platform for people to speak freely is essential. We are going to do whatever it takes to hold the line for free speech, whether we agree or disagree with what’s said.” According to one source with knowledge of Kai and Speed’s deal, Rumble is keen to start competing with Twitch and Kick in livestreaming. Twitch in particular is facing steep competition, and in some cases failing to hold on to their biggest names. Rumble will be keen to broaden their audience, perhaps moving away from the older, right-leaning perception the platform has gained due to some of its other big names, which has even included former US President Donald Trump. It remains to be seen how Speed and Kai’s relationship with Rumble blossoms. The pair, along with other big streamers from Twitch and YouTube, are also in talks with Kick, the Stake-backed livestreaming platform, according to Dexerto sources, about a potential deal. Any deal with Kick would involve a fee and payment for the move, whereas Rumble is a CPM-based offering, where earnings are based on viewership and other incentives.

Kai Cenat hospitalized after “severe” injury filming music video – Dexerto
Kai Cenat hospitalized after “severe” injury filming music video Twitch: KaiCenatTwitch star Kai Cenat was hospitalized due to a “severe” injury he sustained while filming a music video for his YouTube group ‘AMP.’ Kai Cenat is arguably one of the most prominent streamers on Twitch — and indeed, the entire internet, scoring a wildly popular show with fellow star IShowSpeed on Rumble earlier this year. Over the years, Kai has skyrocketed to online fame, boasting over 8 million followers on Twitch and breaking subscriber records on the site. Now, Kai is busting out of his status as a social media star to appear in short films and even bigger movies like Good Burger 2. However, his most recent project resulted in a major injury for the streamer and landed him in the hospital, leaving fans worried about his condition. Kai Cenat sustains “severe” injury filming AMP music video On December 4, the official ‘Kai Mafia Updates’ account on Twitter / X claimed that Cenat had reportedly sustained a “severe” injury while filming a music video for his YouTube group ‘AMP.’ “Kai Cenat will not be streaming today at 8 PM, as confirmed as he’s been severely injured during an AMP shoot and is hospitalized,” the post read. Kai Cenat appeared to confirm this news in a string of replies to the post, referencing his excitement over the GTA 6 trailer that released that same day. “GTA 6 trailer drop [tomorrow] I’m tryna get out of here fast asf,” he wrote. “IT DROPPED?” he followed up excitedly. “I’m escaping this shit tonight, watch this.” Kai Cenat explains “severe” lip injury after being hospitalized Kai was later discharged from the hospital and went live that night, explaining what happened to confused fans during his broadcast. “We did hockey, right? We did AMP hockey. …there was a part where we had to get physical, bro,” he said. “All I have to say is, somebody — I’m not gonna say who — somebody pushed me, and I fell directly …on my face.” “My two bunny teeth-a**, Squidward-a** front teeth went and pinched my lip,” he continued. “I get up from the floor like this, and all I see is blood. …part of my lip was missing.” Luckily, Kai was able to continue streaming and appears to be doing well in spite of his lip injury — although it definitely seems like his excitement over the GTA 6 reveal was able to successfully distract him from the frightening incident.

Kai Cenat & IShowSpeed fans baffled neither won Streamer of the Year award – Dexerto
Kai Cenat & IShowSpeed fans baffled neither won Streamer of the Year award YouTube: Kai Cenat Live, IShowSpeedSamantha ‘Rivers’ Rivera Trevino walked away with the Esports Awards top honor on August 24, being crowned Streamer of the Year during the ceremony. The Mexican content creator, known as rivers_gg on Twitch, has 6.3 million followers on the platform, where she primarily streams gaming and IRL content. For many English-speaking Twitch viewers, rivers is unlikely to be a name familiar to them, despite her channel averaging around 15,000 concurrent viewers on any given stream. Fans of Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed, both nominees for the award, have reacted to the outcome with bewilderment that neither took the gong. The full list of nominees was as follows: Nicholas ‘Jynxzi’ Stewart – Kai Cenat – Ibai ‘Ibai’ Llanos – Cody ‘Clix’ Conrod – Darren ‘IShowSpeed’ Watkins Jr. – Case ‘Caseoh’ Baker – Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel – Marc ‘Caedrel’ Lamont – Victor ‘Coringa’ Augusto – Alexandre ‘Gaules’ Chiqueta – Samantha ‘Rivers’ Rivera Trevino – Responding to the Esports Awards’ post on X/Twitter congratulating Rivers on her win, one user immediately accused organizers of disrespecting IShowSpeed, despite the award being voted on exclusively by the community. They continued: “The disrespect towards Speed is beyond outrageous. He absolutely deserved to win… The people behind this decision don’t understand what the public wants. I hope you’re happy with your choice because we certainly aren’t.” “They just ignored the fact that Speed had his biggest year by far & Kai had the biggest non-event stream and marathons of the year?” Fortnite content creator HYPEX wrote. Other replies in the same post ranged from labeling the outcome a “joke,” to outright refusal to believe that the award was given based on fan votes, claiming that “nobody knows Rivers.” However, others argued that the Spanish streaming community was just as strong, even if unfamiliar to English-speaking viewers. “Rivers community reigns supreme!” said XSET member Feldy. Others said it was another example of “The whole world finding out yet again that Spanish streamers are just on another level.” Rivers reacted to the award on X/Twitter, writing, “This award is from my community, who are always active and aware of all the projects, supporting them unconditionally. “I hope to one day be as good a creator as the other nominees, whom I admire a lot. Thanks to my people for always supporting me, because of you I am still here doing what I like, with much love for you, you are awesome and I love you very much.” Kai and Speed collaborated to take on Minecraft in its hardest difficulty in a marathon lasting over 100 hours in August. The pair finally defeated the Ender Dragon and claimed victory on August 22. Both have recorded huge successes in their careers in 2024, with Speed’s European tour drawing 2.5 billion views and Kai’s 166-hour Elden Ring playthrough attracting massive viewership back in May.

Kai Cenat has hilarious reaction to Doja Cat’s new song “Demons” – Dexerto
Kai Cenat has hilarious reaction to Doja Cat’s new song “Demons” Instagram: lyricalTwitch and YouTube streamed Kai Cenat hilariously reacted to the shocking lyrics and visuals of Doja Cat’s new song ‘Demons.’ As one of the most popular YouTube and Twitch streamers, Kai Cenat isn’t shy of showing his true feelings, as he’s established a large online following from his comedic commentary. So when he got a hold of singer Doja Cat’s new music video for ‘Demons,’ he didn’t hold back what he truly felt about the rather scary visuals and lyrics. Sure, Cenat had a clear and concise opinion of the song, releasing a video of his own reaction. However, viewers were quick to relate to the streamer and his outlook, leaving Doja Cat with nothing but curiosity about her well-being. Fans agree with Kai Cenat on Doja Cat’s unearthly lyrics and music video for ‘Demons’ Kai Cenat and Doja Cat may have never had an in-person run-in, but that hasn’t kept Cenat from revealing his shocked reaction to Doja Cat’s visuals for her song ‘Demons.’ Doja Cat released ‘Demons’ on her six-song EP which debuted on September 1st of this year. The song itself premiered first on her EP and exposed Doja Cat in a new light, far from her initial pop sound, as she screams in her song, “How my demons look?” While the bass thrashes, Doja Cat continues to rap, “We are enemies, we are foes. Who are you and what are those? You are gross.” The music video is also somewhat off-putting, as it displays Doja Cat crawling around as a devil in a black latex suit with horns and all-white eyes. When Cenat saw the visuals, he kept his mouth shut but was quick to change the vibe from demonic possession to something more wholesome. Though Cenat didn’t have much to say, his decision to change the song from ‘Demons’ to a religious song was enough for fans to realize how he felt about Doja Cat’s lyrics and music video. Fans who saw the mashup video of Cenat’s reaction and Doja Cat’s music video couldn’t agree more with the streamer, as one commented, “Hot garbage — stop forcing this nonsense on us. This is not art, it’s chaos and detrimental to the mind, body, and soul. Doja was way more lit before the industry got a hold of her.” Another was quick to say they “needed” Jesus right then and there after viewing the visuals, while others pleaded for Christ, saying, “God is what we need!” Doja Cat hasn’t commented on Cenat’s shocked reaction to her lyrics and visuals for ‘Demons.’ However, since claiming she didn’t care about her fans, she has lost many followers. Cenat, on the other hand, continues to reach milestones when it comes to the number of his online subscribers — not to mention, he also won Streamer of the Year at the 2023 Streamy Awards.

Kai Cenat hits back at Destiny over ‘black zoomer streamers’ comments: “You’re clearly racist” – Dexerto
Kai Cenat hits back at Destiny over ‘black zoomer streamers’ comments: “You’re clearly racist” Twitch: Kai Cenat / YouTube: DestinyOne of Twitch’s biggest stars in 2022, and recently crowned streamer of the year, Kai Cenat, has responded to Destiny, after the YouTube streamer criticized young black streamers gaining popularity. On December 6, Destiny reacted to a clip of IShowSpeed, a fellow YouTuber who was accused of being racist towards a Chinese fan at the 2022 World Cup. Destiny said, “Is this the Kai Cenat guy? Oh, this is the Speed guy. Ok. There’s like this whole new legion of like, black zoomer streamers. “For as much as they talk about how all white people did was scream at the camera, I feel like that’s all these guys do. I don’t know if they have more content, but holy sh*t.” Kai responds to Destiny Unsurprisingly, the clip got the attention of Kai himself, who hit back at Destiny for criticizing what he doesn’t know. “If Twitter comments were a person, this is what it is. Bro, ‘I don’t know if they have more content, but let me go ahead and hate on them for what I see. “How about you do your research, bitch? […] Clearly you are a racist, but guess what, I don’t give a f**k.” Kai suggested that Destiny was jealous of seeing black creators on top in the streaming world. Speed is immensely popular on YouTube, and Kai has been dominating Twitch. In 2022, Kai has gained over 2.4 million followers on his channel, and Speed has exploded to internet stardom. As for the clip where Speed was accused of being racist towards a fan, he has since issued an apology and explanation.

Kai Cenat freaks out Offset in hilarious blindfold challenge – Dexerto
Kai Cenat freaks out Offset in hilarious blindfold challenge YouTube: Kai Cenat LiveTwitch star Kai Cenat teamed up with rapper Offset for a hilarious, blindfolded game of “what’s in the box” that left the rapper totally freaked out. Kai Cenat is one of Twitch’s most popular broadcasters. In fact, he’s so popular that his simple fan meetup in New York escalated into an outright riot back in August. He’s broken all-time subscriber records on Twitch and even scored his very own show on Rumble with fellow streamer IShowSpeed. Thanks to his online fame, he’s managed to rub elbows with some pretty famous figures. In the past, Kai has met up with rapper Blueface and singer/songwriter SZA — but the latest celebrity to grace his stream was none other than Migos member Offset. Kai Cenat teams up with Offset for hilarious Twitch stream Offset appeared during one of Kai’s recent Twitch streams to play a game of “What’s in the Box?” Fans might be familiar with this particular game, as it’s a popular activity in celebrity interviews. In this game, players will stick their hand in a box without looking at what’s inside. By using their sense of touch alone, the players have to guess what they’re touching before it can be revealed. Of course, these challenges often include gnarly things like bugs, slime, or even rodents… which is what Kai opted for when it came time for Offset to play. Offset was immediately on guard, seemingly scared to fully put his hand inside the box, which contained a smaller box with two white mice. Although the rapper put his hand in the container with the mice, it doesn’t look like he was able to feel the furry critters — but he was certainly nervous about it regardless, even asking if he could “punch” whatever was inside the box. Kai advised him against it and, after quite a bit of waffling, Offset was finally able to see what was inside… and it’s safe to say he was astonished at what the Twitch streamer wanted him to touch. Luckily, Kai got his own just desserts in the end, as the crew made him put his hand in a container full of bugs… which Offset was more than happy to assist him with. This is just the latest celebrity encounter Kai has had after he realized SZA had blocked him on Instagram after shooting his shot with the singer.
