Kai Cenat isn’t one too fond of spicy food, but he made an exception for an appearance on a fiery episode of Hot Ones on Thursday (July 10).
Around the eight-minute mark, host Sean Evans gave the viral streamer his flowers as a tastemaker in the rap game while lending his platform to uplift various artists around hip-hop and show fans a different side of them. Evans thinks Cenat should have his own record label at some point down the line, and hypothetically speaking, asked him to draft a three-man dream team if he were curating a roster of rappers at the moment. Kai ended up going with A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Maryland native Nino Paid and Lil Uzi Vert.
“I ain’t gonna lie. I love A Boogie. A Boogie is somebody if I feel like I was able to build around him and go crazy, I feel like he’s underrated,” said Kai, who appeared on the January cover of Billboard. “You feel what I’m saying? I feel like A Boogie’s really underrated, and it might be a biased take because I’m from New York, but I really do feel like that. Nino Paid. He’s really new, but I’ve been gravitating to his music.”
The 23-year-old continued to show love to Lil Uzi Vert, who he thinks has a future in streaming. “For a third, Lil Uzi. I’m not gonna lie. He’s just fun to be around. Lil Uzi’s another person that, if he wanted to stream, he can. I think Uzi can do anything. Like, no, I’m so serious. I think he can adapt to whatever. He’s just a cool person to be around. Like that’s good vibes to be around, Uzi.”
For fans looking for more of Kai Cenat, he’s currently in the midst of streaming on Twitch for 30 consecutive days with his AMP crew.
Check out the rest of the Hot Ones episode, which finds Cenat dishing on his mentor Kevin Hart, LeBron James being the NBA GOAT and having PTSD after streaming for 30 days straight.
