In this clip from his interview with Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay, Kai Cenat talks about his personal top five rappers, sharing his current favorites and discussing the dynamic between streamers and rappers in the entertainment industry. His list includes Drake, A Boogie, Yachty, Cardi B, and Travis Scott, while acknowledging that there are many phenomenal rappers, but these are the ones he’s currently vibing with.
When asked about the comparison between streamers and rappers, Kai asserts that rappers are still bigger overall. While streaming is growing, Kai believes that rappers have a broader and more established influence worldwide. He reflects on his own international travels and the overwhelming attention he’s received in places like Nigeria, Paris, and Japan, which speaks to the global recognition of rappers.
Kai also touches on the debate of whether streaming is harder than a 9-to-5 job, where he expresses his belief that while streaming is demanding, it doesn’t compare to the struggles of a typical 9-to-5 job, particularly those who don’t enjoy their work. He acknowledges the effort required to maintain a strong streaming presence but emphasizes the passion he has for it.
Discussing his future goals, Kai reveals his ambitions to help other content creators in the streaming space by offering guidance and advice. He remains driven to innovate and achieve things others haven’t yet done, all while staying grounded in his faith. The best advice he’s received is to keep God close and remain humble, regardless of success. Reflecting on his growth, Kai mentions how much wiser he’s become over time, learning from his experiences and embracing gratitude.
Looking ahead, Kai shares his excitement for his future endeavors, including plans to organize a live “Hunger Games” event featuring top creators, as well as organizing his own festivals. His ultimate goal is to continue growing with his team, working hard, and delivering content that resonates with his audience.
