[funky upbeat music]

If I get the Avengers in my room,

[Kai giggles]

like I might turn into a superhero.

[funky upbeat music]

Kai Cenat what?

Kai Cenat Mama Cenat.

When I got the call for the NFL commercial,

they say, Hey, yo, we want you in a commercial

for the NFL.

I said, Okay, damn, I bet, let's do it.

Then they say, But you have to bring your mom.

You got to bring Mama Cenat.

I say, Oh, y'all want Mama Cenat?

I bet.

I called her.

I said, Yo ma, you're about to be in an NFL commercial.

She started going crazy.

No, I'm, oh, after this, I'm moving different!

I'm changing my number all the time!

It's like, Damn, ma,

you're going [indistinct] everybody on one commercial?

But that was very fun to see my mama on set

for the first time.

I was like showing her how to be on camera and all that.

I was like, It was pretty cool, good experience.

She checked that off her bucket list.

Next search, Kai Cenat favorite streamers.

I like this question, 'cause like I'm a viewer too.

At the end of the day, I'm a viewer too.

So, I have a lot of favorite streamers that I learned from,

like big, small, whatever it is, foreign, whatever it is.

My personal favorite people to watch,

I would say is like I find myself going to the app purely

to like watch this person is RaKai,

like when RaKai streams a lot.

Like I'm not going to lie,

he's like one of the realest people who stream.

And he started off such at a young age

that you can kind of see him grow and develop

into wherever he's going to go.

He's one of my favorite streamers.

Bro, it's kind of weird,

'cause I'm like, I'm sure like a real viewer,

like I really watch RaKai.

And then after, I'll probably say Speed,

like I really do enjoy watching Speed as well.

I also surf a lot of the streaming space just

for like small people,

just like I like to just scout and look around.

I like to watch Fanum with Phantom Spark stream too,

like it's pretty cool,

or any of the AMP guys really.

Next one, Kai Cenat Diamond Gym.

Diamond Gym, I got real love for those guys,

'cause they are strong as hell.

But the Diamond Gym, I went to the Diamond Gym

and I had them come back again for the second time.

I can confirm I'm never, ever, ever, ever doing that again,

like I'm not doing it.

I don't care if you call my phone, Haddy,

I don't care if y'all call my phone and tell me to work out,

I'm not working out with y'all no more, bro.

But I will say like it was a cool experience,

because I got to break down a lot of the things

that I didn't know I had within myself

and I had to build it back up like a real man,

push a real weight.

So, I like the concept behind it

and I love what they got going on.

I was sore for a week.

From Monday to Sunday, I was sore.

Like I had a pump,

you know when you get a 30 sec,

and you go to a gym and you had to pump your own system?

No, I had to pump the entire,

even when I was asleep and waking up, it was still there.

So, it was crazy.

Kai Cenat favorite video game campaign.

My personal favorite one

that I did not know I was going to like,

that I play to this day,

a favorite of mine had to be Elden Ring.

Elden Ring is a real game.

I heard they just finished filming a movie for that.

I will be there.

Elden Ring is like a game, it's like a Souls game.

Like I grew up on 2K, Modern Warfare, Call of Duty,

Fortnite, the classics.

But Elden Ring holds a special part in my heart,

because it really builds character.

And that's real gamer stuff!

So, that'd be my favorite.

And then Minecraft is always fun.

Batman was cool.

You know what's crazy, you know why I really do it?

'Cause when I was younger,

I could not afford any video game.

Like I could afford a game, I might as well buy it,

but I'm definitely not getting the day it dropped.

I would have to save up so much money

to just make sure I have it.

$60, you feel me?

Saving up all my school money,

everything that I was getting.

There were some games that I already wanted to play,

but I just couldn't take the risk on getting

and I would only get the yearly games

that I knew like 2K, Call of Duty and stuff.

But like anytime when I went to see a walkthrough of a game,

or I didn't have the console to play it,

I would go watch theRadBrad, bro.

Like if he ever see this, I spoke to him already.

Oh bro, he holds a special place in my heart,

because he's playing every game.

It's not like he's dibbling-dabbling.

No, he's covering all categories

for people who aren't able to experience it.

I don't even know if that's his real motivation behind it.

But I was able to watch a lot of series

without even having to play the game!

So, that was pretty cool.

So, I like that and that's why I marathon a lot of games,

'cause people are able to see the entire story live.

All right, Kai Cenat photo poses.

I'll probably hit them with the...

but I think, you got to come subtle.

It's a certain aesthetic you got to come.

Sometimes, you got to come serious on your life.

Other time, you hype, you feel what I'm saying?

Like once you got a fit on you real hype,

but you got to come off like, I've been doing this.

So, I ain't going to lie like,

or you get, you hit them with the,

so that's always a fun one.

On to the next.

That is a strong board, bro!

That did not break.

Next one.

Let's see what y'all searching.

Kai Cenat, who was Kai Cenat first celebrity guest?

I believe my very first one was NLE Choppa, man.

Like he was the first one to even show love to me.

He gravitated towards streams naturally.

I haven't had a guest in a long time though.

So, I would say,

I've been asking for this for very, very long,

my next set of people I want

on my stream is the Avengers, bro,

like that is the last one.

Like if I get the Avengers in my room,

[Kai giggles]

like I might turn into a superhero, genuinely, okay?

All right, Kai Cenat red room.

Now, this is where it all started in The Bronx,

still had the crib.

Yeah, it's like we painted it red

and that's where I started.

I shared that room with my little brother, Kelo.

And we shared that growing up.

I haven't had my own room until I moved to Atlanta.

Who is Kai Cenat's bodyguard?

Cudi, Cudi's a fricking eight-foot grizzly bear.

He's like a bear, you don't want to get him angry.

He gets too angry, he gets snapped.

But he's really a loving, kind person deep down inside, so.

Kai Cenat favorite cologne.

I would say Initio.

Duke Dennis put me onto the cologne.

I'm still waiting!

Like can y'all tell Duke to drop a cologne?

Like I think Duke is like,

I'm not even trying to glaze, bro,

but Duke be smelling good, gang, like he be smelling good.

Like sometimes, I do snoop around his bathroom

to see like, Okay, take a picture of his stuff.

Oh, Fanum is good too, I ain't gonna lie.

Damn, that's a good matchup!

Like we might have to do a cologne stream

where we try to, we match up Fanum with Duke.

'Cause they're both smelling good individuals.

But I'd be telling Duke,

I'd be like, Yo, can you drop your cologne?

'Cause Duke put me on the Initio and put everybody on.

Bro, like I feel like if he drop it,

he going to have everybody smell the fire.

So, Duke, drop it bro.

Next, Why did Kai Cenat stop streaming?

I feel like in life, sometimes,

you have to kind of like take a step back

and also, mentally rekindle yourself.

Look around, scout the room, say what's up with family,

go out, explore, vacation, touch grass a little bit.

Sometimes, you got to go outside, breathe the air.

As hard as we all work,

make sure you have that time to really sit in it.

And I wanted to start also my brand

and I feel like you can't half-do anything

that you really want to do.

So, like any dreams and stuff,

you have to sacrifice some time to make it work.

So, that is why.

Next board!

Next board we have here is Kai Cenat.

Let's see, Is Kai Cenat getting into acting?

I love being in front of the camera.

I like film and I love acting.

But it's 'cause as I got older,

you know what I really want to do?

Direct.

Like I just started

to think like being in front of the camera is a little,

it's a little exhausting.

You have to really channel your inner character.

But I do think it's impressive

when a good director has his vision

and is able to get the actors to build it out.

So, I'm definitely, you hear it right now,

I'm going to start getting into directing

in that whole realm too, like we are just getting started.

If I can direct something,

I have something I'm thinking in my head

that I'm not going to share publicly,

but I would definitely start with short films.

I would love to explore short films first

and then grow as time goes on.

Is Kai Cenat doing another Mafiathon?

No, absolutely not!

You got to just end it off the trio.

Is Kai Cenat doing 'Streamer University' every year?

I can confirm this is the goal.

The goal is to do Stream University every year

and have it get bigger and bigger and bigger.

Streamer University is one of the projects

that is very dear to me.

I do plan on having it every year.

So, next year, we're doing Europe.

So, it's going to be pretty cool.

Dang, okay!

Kai Cenat 30 on 30 on 30.

This is a bar from Bustdown Rollie Avalanche, you feel me?

So, my first song, Thirty on thirty on thirty.

Why is people searching that up?

Why are y'all searching up,

Kai Cenat 'Thirty on thirty on thirty?'

Will Kai Cenat be in 'GTA 6'?

When it does come out, I'm going very deep into this.

You're going to, I think people are going to view me,

like, Oh, he's a 'GTA' streamer now,

like he's officially a 'Grand Theft Auto' creator.

Like I'm going big, I can't wait.

Most anticipated game in like the last 13 years,

so I can't wait.

I have a nice little thing,

I know what I'm going to do for it, so can't wait.

Kai Cenat Kevin Hart Druski.

Kevin is a good guy, Druski is a great guy.

Together, we are a trio.

You know what's funny?

We actually shot a movie already.

I'm pushing for them to like re-shoot it

and do something cool in mind.

We can't say too much.

I can't wait, like we have things on the way

and obviously, wherever it goes, it's going to go.

Can Kai Cenat design?

Now, when I was building my collection,

like design is a very strong word,

like and design is a lot of professionality.

I can do simple, I can consult.

I can tell you what I'm thinking,

tell you what I like, what I don't like and stuff like that.

So, it's technically design,

but real designing like concepts

and conceptual art is a whole other category.

Like people actually go to school

to do things very, very in depth.

For the collection and everything creative,

like just being genuine to it,

like what VIVET is a process and a journey.

So, like when I was able to, everything came out naturally

with my journal and everything I went to write

and the time and space that everything took place.

Being able to do all of that

and apply it and see it,

what I had to learn is how can I transform a lot

of those emotions and a lot of things I went through

and put them into ways to inspire a lot of the garments

that was part of that collection.

And if you look and dive deeper into the collection,

you can see a lot of my background

and culture slowly is represented throughout it.

And you can kind of see like the gravitational pull

of just like how everything kind of went about

from the first looks that came out

to the second phase to the third phase.

You can see with progress,

the garments getting better and better.

Kai Cenat executive producer?

I don't know.

Yeah, I mean, that'd be cool

if I had like a lot of great artists come together.

Obviously like, oh yeah, I wouldn't be doing,

oh, hell, I wouldn't be rapping on it.

I would definitely executive produce.

No, I would definitely find the artist

that I like and gravitate towards and put it together

on some like Metro be doing that, everybody be doing that.

So, it's like, I wouldn't say never.

I would just say I'm a little cautious just stepping

into the music industry because it's very subjective,

so is everything that we do in life though.

So, hey, you never know.

Let's see what we have here.

What has Kai Cenat directed?

Ooh, this is a very good question, okay?

I've directed a lot of my personal projects and trailers

that I have done.

But being included in heavily was the short film

that I did with Ray.

That was a big one.

But other than that,

all my trailers, I'm basically co-directing

and I'm part of the whole entire process.

What did Fanum do for Kai Cenat?

Fanum has done a lot.

Fanum was the first person to help me genuinely

and position me to be where I'm at today.

Thank you, Fanum.

When Fanum reached out to me,

I personally did not know who Fanum was yet.

Then I seen Fanum's YouTube channel

and it being another fellow Bronx member from New York,

who's doing YouTube and blowing up the way he did,

it was actually very inspirational to see.

Fanum was very big on YouTube.

At the time when I was watching his YouTube,

like he was massive,

like he, the difference between when him and me

at that time was like he had a large following already

and like a lot of people.

I remember I used to watch Fanum videos

and see a whole bunch of comments

and be like, Dang, he got 4,000 comments on his blog

and they just loved it?

What tattoos does Kai Cenat have?

I have a lot of tattoos,

some that I got from Pinterest

and some that actually is meaningful to me.

But I don't regret any of them,

because it's how I was feeling at the time.

But a large majority of my tattoos are New York tattoos.

Us as New Yorkers,

you know we are very confident in where we come from.

So, I have a back piece, I have this piece.

My most recent tattoo is my Mafia tattoo,

which is my community.

I got them tatted finally, way overdue.

It is completely healing right now.

So, I have a brand-new one.

I don't have any plans to get more.

Having the tattoo done on stream

in front of the entire community,

having them pick out the tattoo and everything,

means a lot to me.

They support everything I do.

It don't matter what it is.

We're just a big family

and they have a special place in my heart.

What song does Drake mention Kai Cenat?

He mentioned me in Push Ups.

Yeah, he mentioned me in Push Ups,

like the start of all the beef that happened.

When I heard it, I was so surprised,

like my reaction was on stream and stuff like that.

You know what's funny?

Drake was supposed

to be at Streamer University the first day.

His whole idea is what he wanted to throw a welcome party

for all the students on campus.

But then it wasn't able to happen,

because schedules conflicted and dates and stuff like that.

But he did send a whole bunch of gifts and stuff like that.

Let's go to the next.

Let's see what y'all are searching up.

Why Kai Cenat called KC3000?

Wait, why am I called,

I think Tylil gave me that nickname, KC3000.

You know what's crazy?

Tylil gave me a lot of nicknames,

like KC3 was from Tylil.

I think he's the first person I ever heard say it.

How did Kai Cenat meet the Clover Boys?

So, all my friends that I have met in the Clover Boys,

different phases of my life that are very important.

You feel what I'm saying?

Like I met Dezz in college.

He helped me a lot with my videos

and that was great, all natural too.

I met Tylil in like 2019.

He's from where I'm from.

And he started making a lot of content

and we just came together.

I met Punga, COVID, when COVID had just hit.

And I only could do videos in my mom's car.

Punga came in randomly and he was amazing.

Ray, Japan, Tokyo, that's my dawg right there!

RaKai!

RaKai came in with a suitcase

and was like, Bro, can I stay here?

I'm like, All right bro, I'll give you one night, bro.

You can have fun on the stream and stuff like that.

And then yeah, he just took off.

Next, Kai Cenat IShowSpeed.

I think me and Speed actually met through a Discord.

I remember the clip of him like seeing,

no, no, it was either Discord or we played GTA,

but one way or another, like I seen him and he seen me

and it was clicking after like I had reached out to him,

or he had reached out to me.

No, I think I reached out to him

and then like we just chopped it up at first.

And then after like we just gravitated

towards each other just naturally.

This is like, Speed is like family to me at this point,

like I'm cool with his dad,

I'm cool with his uncle, his little brother.

And I adore Speed,

because Speed is a sense of motivation.

He's a sense of motivation

for me and a lot of people in what we do.

Every time I'm able to get creative,

or have a big idea with him, I genuinely like to bounce off.

'Cause he has the same,

like his brain kind of operates very similar to mine.

So, he's a hard worker, I'm a hard worker,

let's go, let's do some work.

Better gamer?

Imma be honest, okay?

I think when it comes to IQ, I have it.

It depends on what game too.

Fortnite, cool.

Given enough time on the game, I'm going to destroy him.

Minecraft, I'm wiping him.

All this other stuff,

like anything you would put me against with Speed.

Speed is a little Fortnighter though.

He is a geek on Fortnite.

Other than that, I feel like give us a game,

give us a time period to learn the game and match us up,

I'm frying him, like easily I'm frying him.

What was Kai Cenat first AMP video?

Behind the scenes, I think I shot one

before the public one went live.

But to the public, Walmart $100 outfit challenge,

that's when I jump in the fountain and stuff.

And it's so crazy,

'cause a lot of people with like mixed emotions

on me coming in, like they're kind of hard.

Like at first, I didn't even want to join AMP,

because I feel like their chemistry was too strong.

I told Fanum,

See, yo, bro, I don't think I could do this again.

And after, it just ended up being amazing.

So, my first one was definitely the $100 outfit challenge

for AMP.

A lot of hard work goes into AMP as a group.

Only AMP members know

what like the conversations we'd be having off-camera

and our goals and where we want to reach

and what we want to do.

And they always been there for me,

like those are my brothers, like they are family.

I can trust them with my life, like those are my brothers.

Shout-out to AMP.

Can Kai Cenat give a motivational speech?

Okay, y'all want a motivational speech?

All right, I don't know how the edit's going.

You're going to add the music,

make sure the music is pretty good.

Nah, I don't like that one, do another one.

[bright music]

Nah!

[gentle music]

Okay, yes, yes, that one is good.

Yeah, now I feel a little serious, okay?

Listen, bro, that dream you're thinking about doing,

you can't do it.

Anything, you want to play sports?

You are terrible at sports.

You want to cook?

You can't cook.

Just give up and quit.

Those are the words you would hear from somebody,

who doesn't believe in what you're doing.

It's up to you to say,

Hey, I'm not going to listen to them,

or I'm going to listen to them.

Don't pay attention to the outside noise.

Turn the noise off and focus on your dream.

You want to know why?

Because it's your life.

It's your life, you have one life.

If you want to be the best NBA player,

believe, really believe it and feel it,

put that work in and get there.

If you want to be the world's best chef,

put that work in and do it.

If you want to be a streamer, put the work in.

If you want to have your own brand, do that.

Just know if you believe in, it starts with you,

and then everybody else will believe after you.

I believe in you, so believe in yourself.

All right, guys.

I'm Kai Cenat
