Kai Cenat isn’t one too fond of spicy food, but he made an exception for an appearance on a fiery episode of Hot Ones on Thursday (July 10).
Around the eight-minute mark, host Sean Evans gave the viral streamer his flowers as a tastemaker in the rap game while lending his platform to uplift various artists around hip-hop and show fans a different side of them. Evans thinks Cenat should have his own record label at some point down the line, and hypothetically speaking, asked him to draft a three-man dream team if he were curating a roster of rappers at the moment. Kai ended up going with A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Maryland native Nino Paid and Lil Uzi Vert.
“I ain’t gonna lie. I love A Boogie. A Boogie is somebody if I feel like I was able to build around him and go crazy, I feel like he’s underrated,” said Kai, who appeared on the January cover of Billboard. “You feel what I’m saying? I feel like A Boogie’s really underrated, and it might be a biased take because I’m from New York, but I really do feel like that. Nino Paid. He’s really new, but I’ve been gravitating to his music.”
The 23-year-old continued to show love to Lil Uzi Vert, who he thinks has a future in streaming. “For a third, Lil Uzi. I’m not gonna lie. He’s just fun to be around. Lil Uzi’s another person that, if he wanted to stream, he can. I think Uzi can do anything. Like, no, I’m so serious. I think he can adapt to whatever. He’s just a cool person to be around. Like that’s good vibes to be around, Uzi.”
