Kai Cenat didn’t become the most popular Twitch streamer in hip-hop by holding back his real opinions. So while speaking to Billboard for his January cover story, he didn’t hold back when it came to his takes on the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar rap war of 2024.

Kai Cenat is looking back on the onslaught of new music that bombarded us all at the peak of Drake and Kendrick Lamar's historic back-and-forth last May, pinpointing the moment as a personal favorite among his still-going-strong catalog of blockbuster streaming spectacles.

Another key aspect of Drake’s claims is that UMG “whitelisted” the track so that social media influencers could post videos that included the song without facing copyright issues. He even went on to name several big content creators who did so, including Zias, No Life Shaq, and Kai Cenat.

Kai Cenat might be cool with Drake, but he is well aware that Kendrick Lamar came out on top in their scathing rap beef. On Monday (Jan. 27), the live streamer told Billboard that watching them trade diss tracks was the “most fun experience” he has ever had.

Streamers like Kai Cenat and NoLifeShaq are reacting to being named in Drake’s lawsuit against UMG over "Not Like Us" streams.
