Kai Cenat and Dabo executed what can only be called the most insane livestream side mission of the year at Rolling Loud Los Angeles on March 16. What began as a front-row seat became a full-scale festival takeover, with Kai Cenat teleported from fan to frontman with Playboi Carti and The Weeknd on stage.
Social media didn't know whether it was going to applaud or restart - because when your favorite streamer joins the main act, reality feels like it's going through a buggy TikTok filter.
As soon as the video went out someone took to his X account and commented:
"WE NEED A KAI X CARTI STREAM"
The pandemonium would be unprecedented, for one of their viewers on X proclaimed, "WE NEED A KAI X CARTI STREAM." Picture Kai Cenat attempting to interview Playboi Carti with Carti simply growling into the mic, casting spells, and gratuitously red-blinking the lights.
It would be completely unhinged, with some stream and séance thrown in. Twitch servers would melt before they even got to press the "Go Live" button.
The Kai Cenat and Playboi Carti performance at Rolling Loud was closer to a multiverse crossover than a cameo. Streaming out of the pit for a brief second, Kai is then rage-dancing alongside Carti like they are part of the tour.
Social media erupted, the audience went wild, and somewhere Twitch was trying to wrap their head around what reality they just left.
