Kai Cenat recently went viral after he covered the cost of a pizza order for two young fans and their father, a heartwarming gesture that was caught on video. The clip quickly gained traction on social media and even caught the attention of Rihanna, who praised the streamer for his act of kindness.
On April 7, Rihanna sent a direct message to Kai, expressing her admiration: “Kaaaaaiii!! I love this. I know you do this all the time, but the kidsss! And they genuinely love you! Great job all around man!” Kai read the message while live streaming, and his excitement was palpable. “This is when I paid for the kids’ meal,” he said, bumping Rihanna’s hit song “Diamonds” as he processed the message.
Kai also took the opportunity to extend an open invitation to Rihanna and A$AP Rocky to join him for a future stream. “Rihanna dead-a– just texted me, gang. Now listen, RiRi, if you’re listening to this, all I gotta say is if you been thinking about hopping on a stream, let me know. You too, A$AP,” Kai said, recalling a time when A$AP had posted his video on Twitter.
Fans reacted to the exchange with excitement, with one commenting, “Aaaah, that’s so epic!! Rihanna sliding into Kai’s DMs?? That’s a major flex! Kai’s living the dream right now!” The potential for a future collaboration between Kai and Rihanna on a stream is further fueled by Rihanna’s upcoming role in the Smurfs movie, which is set to release on July 18, 2025.
