Deon Cole on Kai Cenat: Age isnt an excuse for disrespect!

[Still Benefited]

ol nikkas need to not acknowledge him ... skip over the lil nikka and interact with ppl in their age bracket...quit goin to them nikkas to stay relevant ....

This is the real problem


No need to be too friendly or lie about fukking with these old heads.

Next thing you know they talking about



"Yeah,I need to come on your computer broadcast one of these days"

 

[The Pledge]

Kai’s schtick during the awards was that he didn’t belong there. Him and Druski, that was the play.

truth be told, he doesn’t need to know none of them MFers in the industry. It’s two different worlds and one of those worlds is dying.

Guess which is which

To be a multimillionaire from streaming all day just dosent make sense but im old millennial.

Not saying he had to know who Deon Cole or Wale are, but it's just good business or tact or etiquette to acknowledge elders and peers in the entertainment industry.

Whether you think highly of Deon or Wale, they are veterans in the game who have put a lot of strong work in over the last 20 years.

Or Kai can just stay in his room streaming all day and only interact with those he knows.

But I agree with whoever feels this is a bad look for BET in the first place. They look desperate by hiring him when you boil it down, really. What art has Kai done in the game compared to the likes of Deon and Wale? Honest question.

Is he an entertainer? Does he even consider himself one?

I've been in Hollywood now and then

Do yall know how many damn people are famous if you want to avoid offending someone by not knowing them you legit gotta take a fukking test and cram like it's the SAT.

You know the industry is dying if they have to hire a streamer to host their show. Its bad when you have actors, musicians and etc competing with streamers and web personalities. Hollyweird isnt even in Hollyweird anymore. Its over.

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

nikkas defending Kai like he ain’t say black Americans didn’t have culture
But he cosplays and benefits from the culture and made millions off it
Yeah that little funky nikka is disrespectful
Nobody is saying kiss a nikka ass but if you are serious about your platform and trying to reach more audiences
You should at very minimum learn who these people are
Can’t stand Kevin Hart but I respect how he’s moving with the young nikkas
He cliqued up with Druski and Kai to grow his reach to young kids
That’s how you grow your money and audience
You bridge the gap of your audience

 

[Busted_Toes]

kai cenat - "black americans have no culture"

fukk him.

 

[King Poetic]

I don’t care about you being 23

Streamers are the new rappers / nba, nfl / movie stars

Same thing was said when Kardashian was shaking the buildings

American Life = Who Generates The Most Money

Kai seem like one of dem young mfs who general has his head up his ass. Sad thing is mf legit probably doesn't know these mfs. Born in 2001 and probably just sat in the house playing games all day.

Having your head up your own ass and caring about yourself over absolutely everyone and everything is what’s considered cool in 2025, unfortunately.

Tho if you ask me it all started with the introduction of the front facing camera

 

[CHICAGO]

What tier celebrity would yall put Deon Cole? C? B?
What about Wale?
Neither one of them are household names

It's not like Kai doesn't know who Denzel or Tom Cruise is. He still needs to do his research but at least I can see/understand why he might not know the people who he's had issues with so far

Also let's be honest ...kai IS above these nikkas. Are we holding him to an unfair standard because he's young? Would Deon Cole feel some way if Beyonce didn't say hi to him? It might be hard to wrap our heads around but Kai is closer to Beyonce then he is Deon Cole so the expectation that he supposed to be humble and bending the knee to these random ass celebrities he probably don't give a fukk about is kind of extra.

HE DIDN'T KNOW BABYFACE....

ITS HILARIOUS HOW
YALL BE CAPING FOR
THIS VULTURE COSPLAY ASS TETHER

DUDE ISN'T OF THE CULTURE
BUT HAD THE NERVE TO SAY
BLACK AMERICANS HAD NO CULTURE
AS HE COSPLAYS A BLACK AMERICAN

No amount of “good business” will save you when you’re not pullin em in like you used to. When he cools the next we’ll be ready. It just so happens the kid is burning much brighter than most and he’s playing it how he wants.
