Kai Cenat got visibly upset after a man at the 2025 AMAs approached him to promote Kanye West and free speech.

Kai Cenat went viral during his livestream from the 2025 American Music Awards red carpet after an unexpected exchange with a Kanye West fan.

The individual stated, “We love this guy in here. We want to say - we love Ye. We love Ye for being outspoken, regardless, because it's America, and I think it's a great thing to live in a free country. Don't you, Kai?... I think he's a great guy… God bless you, Kai.”

Caught off guard, Cenat responded firmly but respectfully: “So, you really have to come to my stream, knowing my influence, to come on here and say that?... I think I want to protect my energy. But I'm going to politely ask you, get out of here, guys. Please! All right, I get it, but I don't want that.”

The moment quickly gained traction online as users shared clips of the incident.

The livestream also featured Cenat reacting to Eminem winning Favourite Male Hip-Hop Artist and thanking SZA for giving Streamer University a shoutout in her acceptance speech for Favourite Female R&B Artist.
