Snoop Dogg and popular streamer Kai Cenat had a very memorable and viral moment in the “Mafiathon 2” event that happened on November 4th, 2024. The event, categorized by bringing together celebrities and influencers, had a very energetic social vibe, but it was Snoop and Kai’s hilarious exchange of camaraderie that stole the show-and the internet’s attention.
At the event, Snoop, laid-back and the icon of cannabis culture, gave Kai Cenat a giant blunt-a friendly but big gesture. Kai, one of today’s most popular streamers, looked thrilled and grateful for such a gift as a moment of brotherhood between the rapper and streamer. In turn, that cemented his longtime role of cannabis ambassador extraordinaire, with his Death Row Cannabis brand culturally resonating with new and old fans alike. It was this very second, when “Uncle Snoop” and Kai did the shared comedic relief courtesy of the large blunt, that became one of the most favored moments among in-person and online fans.
This playful chemistry has been building since June, after an unforgettable night at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, where Snoop was backstage with Kai and showcased his famous blunt-rolling skills. With Kai live-streaming, he dared Snoop to roll a blunt quickly to the tune of Shirley Murdock’s 1985 hit “As We Lay.” Exuding much confidence at that time, Snoop went ahead to take up the challenge and was able to roll up in pretty record time in his own way, leaving Kai himself surprised. The reaction of Kai then-called him “Uncle Snoop”-speaks volumes about the light-hearted dynamics between them.
Fans eagerly wait for more interaction between the two. Of course, photos and videos of Snoop and Kai at “Mafiathon 2” went virally through most social media platforms. Clips were posted everywhere by fans and celebrities alike via Twitter, Instagram, and more. Viewers loved the light-hearted, fun energy that radiated from the duo. The moment went viral and turned into an outpour of admiration for the chemistry between the two; speculations began about possible future collaborations.
The Mafiathon 2 event also gave subscribers a glimpse into Snoop’s personal life when he took Kai on a tour of his mansion.
During the personal tour, Snoop gave a view of memorabilia, including a signed shoe from the late basketball legend Kobe Bryant. The personal time during the event allowed the fans to see an account of the laid-back yet iconic lifestyle and thoughtfully reach to his personal interests that Snoop enjoys. For those who watched online, the viewers and followers, this tour of his mansion and the affectionate relationship with Kai gave them one of those few, very personal moments with Snoop’s world.
The success of the viral moments between Kai and Snoop at Mafiathon 2 further underlines the appeal that an influencer-celebrity interaction-a mix of fun and authenticity-beholds. Fans love to see celebrities when they are in casual settings, interacting in ways that are very organic and unplanned. Events like Mafiathon-where celebrities meet digital creators-pave the way for a variety of content that raises fan engagement and keeps social media abuzz.
