Kai Cenat is calling out Adin Ross’s manager, Taav Cooperman, for allegedly using a racial slur during a late-night phone conversation—sparking outrage across social media and leaving fans demanding accountability.
During a recent livestream, Kai detailed the shocking exchange that reportedly took place a few weeks ago. The popular Twitch streamer claims that Cooperman phoned him around 4 a.m. to invite him to Adin Ross’s birthday party. When Kai politely declined, the conversation quickly spiraled in an unexpected—and offensive—direction.
“Taav called me late at night, 4 a.m., drunk or off something…He wants me to be there the evening of the next day. I tell him, ‘Yo, Taav, I don’t think I’m going to be able to do it. But I’ll let you know, bro,’” Kai recalled to viewers.
“He Called Me the N-Word Multiple Times”
According to Kai, Cooperman began showering him with compliments about his growing list of brand partnerships but crossed a line in the process.
“Yo, Kai, I just want to say, man, congrats on all the brand deals you doing. I know that, from Nike to McDonald’s…” Kai said, quoting Cooperman.
“Taav is a White man, by the way…He proceeds to say, ‘From Nike to McDonald’s, but bro, keep it real, bro, ngga, a Chicken Big Mac, ngga?! Na, a Chicken Big Mac, ngga?!’”*
Visibly frustrated, Kai told his audience:
“He on my phone, calling me the n-word at 4 AM in the fcking morning! You supposed to be a ngga’s manager. What’s up with you?”
Fans React: “This Is Wildly Unprofessional”
The revelation quickly spread across Twitter and Instagram, with fans expressing shock and disappointment.
???? “If true, that’s completely unacceptable. Why would Taav even think that’s okay?”
???? “Kai handled that better than most would. This needs to be addressed ASAP.”
???? “Adin Ross needs to step in and say something about his team’s behavior.”
As of now, neither Adin Ross nor Taav Cooperman has responded publicly to the allegations.
Kai Cenat’s Star Continues to Rise
While the controversy brews, Kai has been busy cementing his influence in the entertainment world.
On a recent episode of Hot Ones, the Bronx-born streamer opened up about his growing presence in hip-hop and streaming culture. When asked which artist he’d sign first if he launched a record label, Kai didn’t hesitate:
“I genuinely believe A Boogie is underrated,” he told host Sean Evans. “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.”
Will Taav Cooperman Respond?
With pressure mounting, fans are now waiting to see if Cooperman or Adin Ross will address the allegations. Many argue that silence isn’t an option.
