Kai and Ye’s past issues seem to be behind them as they gear up for an in-person meeting
Kai Cenat and Kanye West are back on good terms after a brief period of tension last year. Cenat, the popular livestreamer, revealed earlier this week that he’s been in regular contact with the rap icon and that a face-to-face meeting in Japan is likely soon.
During a recent stream, Cenat shared that the two have been speaking almost daily and that West has been highly responsive. “I think he’ll be open to a stream… it’s probably at 90 percent,” Cenat said, indicating that a future collaboration is possible. He also hinted at the pair possibly meeting in Japan, West’s new home base.
The reconciliation comes after an incident in March 2024, when West was upset over Cenat making fun of Yeezy clothes during a live stream. Cenat had poked fun at the fit of a pair of baggy Yeezy pants, which led to a heated exchange between the two. West criticized Cenat, accusing him of being controlled and not supporting his brand. However, the situation seems to have cooled off, as Cenat celebrated the renewed friendship by playing West’s 2007 hit “Good Life” during his stream.
Things appeared to have taken a positive turn in early January when Kanye posted an edited image on his Instagram Stories of a horse inside Cenat’s streaming studio, which surprised Cenat. The two even joked about the move, with Cenat admitting that he didn’t know the image was coming.
“I think I’m officially part of the rollout,” Cenat joked, referencing West’s upcoming album Bully.
Despite the past drama, Cenat now says the “beef is over” and has expressed his excitement about the future with Kanye, calling the interaction a brilliant move. With the tension behind them, it looks like the two may have a lot more collaborations ahead.
