Fans and online streamers, including Kai Cenat, had their eyes glued to the screen. Playboy Carti was expected to drop his newest album, I AM MUSIC, at 12 o'clock PST. Kai Cenat was streaming in anticipation of the new album. When the album wasn't released at the expected time, he called Playboi Carti while streaming.

Kai Cenat continued to "crash out," as shared by X user @FearedBuck, and screamed that he was "tired" of waiting. Users took to the video's comment section, with many expressing their frustration.
