Twitch star Kai Cenat recently reacted to being mentioned in Drake’s lawsuit with UMG over Kendrick Lamar’s song ‘Not Like Us’.
This summer, Drake and Kendrick Lamar were involved in a music feud that captivated fans.
The two stars exchanged several personal remarks through nine different tracks, creating memorable moments.
For instance, Kendrick’s song ‘Not Like Us’ was released right after Drake’s ‘Family Matters’.
Now that the feud has cooled down, Kendrick has been announced as a headliner for this year’s Super Bowl half-time show.
Meanwhile, Drake is facing a lawsuit from UMG, claiming they allowed harmful statements about him to be made and publicized.
Among those named in the lawsuit, Kai Cenat is included for his reactions to ‘Not Like Us’.
During a stream on January 15, Kai expressed his surprise about being involved in the lawsuit.
He humorously questioned, “Why am I in this mess? Am I being sued?”
Kai was initially confused and revealed that Drake had told him to “stay on stream” when the songs were released.
However, he quickly found out that he was not being sued, but rather cited as evidence in the case.
He also laughed off ideas that UMG had paid him to promote Kendrick’s music during their rivalry.
Kai later shared his genuine astonishment at the significant viewership his reaction video received. “I can’t believe it! Did we really hit 9 million views? That’s wild!” he exclaimed during the stream.
He elaborated on how both Kendrick’s and Drake’s tracks had incited considerable discussions online, making his reaction a part of this ongoing narrative.
This unexpected mention in the lawsuit highlights how influential streamers can be in the music industry, serving as a bridge between artists and fans during periods of tension.
As Kai reflected on his viral success, he acknowledged the fun of being part of a story involving such prominent figures, despite the confusion of the legal situation. He emphasized that any promotion was purely organic, stemming from his genuine reactions to the music.
This scenario has opened up discussions about the responsibilities and impacts of content creators on social media, especially when involving significant cultural moments like a musical feud or a lawsuit.
Fans are left to wonder how this lawsuit might evolve and whether Kai’s involvement could spark more reactions or content surrounding the ongoing saga between Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
As the music world continues to watch closely, one thing is for sure: Kai Cenat has undoubtedly become a part of the conversation, proving that sometimes, you never know where you might end up in the world of entertainment.
