From Livestream Laughs to Industry Infiltrators: Kanye and Kai Cenat Clash Over Yeezy
Yeezy, Kanye West’s brand, has been dragged through the mud. Other than that, it wasn’t a high-fashion critic, but rather a popular streamer, Kai Cenat. Their beef started an internet fire. However, this raises the issue of the critique of art. Furthermore, it is about online impact and Kanye West’s poor standing.
Everything began innocuously enough. Cenat presumably delighted people with his amusing streams. As a result, he tested a pair of Yeezy sweatpants for a review. Cenat wasn’t impressed with the Yeezy style, and he turned it into a fascinating joke that made people laugh. He was unaware that his critique would soon be dismissed by the reviewer.

The rapper has never shied away from a major battle. Using The Download podcast, Yeezy hurled allegations at his fellow rapper. Cenat was referred to as an “industry plant” . In other words, the singer implied that streamers are conspiring against him. They are doing everything they can to make sure that Yeezy fails. The statement stunned the listeners. It sparked fierce debate over the truth of streamer’s sway.
West did not stop there. He further said that “we’ve got too many plants,” referring to streaming and content creation. The view paints a negative picture of such work, questioning the genuineness of influencer work.
Things escalated even more after Cenat, probably by mistake, mentioned Kanye’s daughter North. Moreover, he did it online reaching the audience. Despite this comment appeared to be harmless, West still became furious and attacked Cenat. He argued that he could not judge the brand that “pays them a $200,000 a month child support”. This insult brought too much bitterness as many viewers felt uncomfortable while watching this argument.
The conversation continued through social media. He wrote a direct message to his follower about his annoyance. Furthermore, this adds to the recent hysteria. In contrast, Cenat sent the text to his followers, and the fan would continue the rivalry. This epitomizes a classic tit-for-tat when a distinguished performer plays his position to the hot youth networking rival.
It’s not the first time Kanye has been in the public’s eye, salutes with spoken language. He has a way of expressing himself irrespective of the consequences. Such behavior has drawn Kanye as being a controversial figure. Kanye has a fierce demeanor. But the goings with Cenat feel different. It is a conflict zone between high fashion and online entertainment. It highlights the current situation of what influence is turning to. Furthermore, it’s fading away art criticism and to a personal level.
Nevertheless, Kanye has continued with his journey of art. He recently confirmed the release of the album with Ty Dolla $ign, “Vultures 2” is due at the end of May. This would be a considerable indicator of his strong moving force in art.
This dust is settled on a feud that might seem like it was never going to happen. One thing is clear: whether it’s industry monsters or live streamers, Kanye West gives out and still answers. And it would help if you continued to do so as he’s still an appealing and divisive aspect of entertainment.
