Rapper Lil Tjay took to Instagram Live this week to speak openly about his ongoing tensions with streamer and content creator Kai Cenat, telling fans the situation has been blown out of proportion by social media.
During the livestream, Tjay said he feels misrepresented and bullied, stating that his frustration wasn’t about law enforcement or outside authorities, but rather tied to what he described as “real opps” in his personal life and the emotional toll of constant online trolling.
Tjay explained that much of his anger stems from how digital platforms boost small issues. “Algorithms and trolling make things way bigger than they are,” he said, making it clear that his feelings toward Cenat come from personal experiences.
The rapper also compared his approach to Cenat’s, telling viewers the streamer appears “media trained” while he himself prefers to focus on creating music rather than fueling public feuds.
Last November, Lil Tjay made headlines after he called out popular streamers Cenat and Adin Ross for exploiting Hip-Hop culture.
“I fake hate this kid,” Tjay wrote of Cenat’s livestream with Kodak Black. “Him and [Adin] the biggest d riders in life.” He then revealed a DM conversation he had with Ross, where he called him a “d–k sucker.”
Ross responded, saying “??? You tweakin… Me and Kai always show nothing but love to you,” and “Gotta stop taking them percs that s–t f–king w ya head.”
