July 11, 2025 – Twitch king Kai Cenat just took the heat to another level on Hot Ones, dropping bombshells about his role in shaping hip-hop culture—and fans are eating it up like the show’s spicy wings.
The streamer-turned-cultural force opened up to host Sean Evans about who he’d sign if he ever launched his own record label. And let’s just say, his top picks left the internet buzzing.
???? A Boogie Tops Kai’s Dream Roster
When asked about his hypothetical label, Kai didn’t even flinch.
“I genuinely believe A Boogie is underrated,” he said. “If I had the opportunity to build around him, I think we could create something extraordinary. It might be a biased opinion since I’m from New York, but I truly feel that way.”
The Bronx connection runs deep, and Kai’s passionate defense of A Boogie’s artistry sent social media into a frenzy.
???? Rising Star Nino Paid Gets a Major Cosign
Kai also gave flowers to Nino Paid, a newcomer gaining momentum thanks to Kai’s massive Twitch platform.
“Nino has breakout potential. He’s someone the world needs to pay attention to right now.”
It’s not the first time Kai has used his influence to amplify emerging talent—and it likely won’t be the last.
???? Why Lil Uzi Vert Made the Cut
Rounding out his top three, Kai named Lil Uzi Vert—but not just for the music.
“For my third choice, I’d go with Uzi. He’s just a blast to be around. If he ever decided to stream, I have no doubt he’d excel. Uzi has this incredible ability to adapt to any situation, and he brings such positive energy.”
???? Twitch, Hip-Hop & the Culture Shift
Cenat isn’t just talking—he’s actively bridging the gap between Twitch, hip-hop, and pop culture:
✅ 30-Day Twitch Marathon: Kai and his AMP crew are currently in the middle of a 30-day streaming marathon, pulling millions of live viewers and dominating the conversation online.
✅ Kevin Hart Mentorship: On Hot Ones, Kai also opened up about comedian Kevin Hart serving as a mentor, helping him navigate fame’s pressures.
✅ GOAT Debates: And yes—he stirred even more Twitter discourse by declaring LeBron James the true NBA GOAT.
???? The Internet Reacts
Fans are already weighing in on Kai’s fantasy label:
???? “Kai signing A Boogie? That’s NY royalty right there.”
???? “Nino Paid getting this cosign is HUGE.”
???? “Kai and Uzi together would break the internet, fr.”
Final Takeaway
Whether or not Kai Cenat actually builds a record label, one thing’s clear: he’s already shaping hip-hop through his cultural influence.
He’s not just a streamer—he’s a tastemaker, a talent amplifier, and a bridge between worlds.
