Lil Yachty Roasts Kai Cenat’s Basketball Aspirations After His LBA Debut.

Twitch sensation Kai Cenat recently embarked on a new venture, one that is worlds away from his successful streaming career. As part of a comedic event, Cenat introduced the Little Basketball Association (LBA), also referred to as the Little Ballers Association, which parodies the NBA. The fictional league hosted a draft event reminiscent of the National Basketball Association drafts, where rising basketball talent gets picked by various teams.

However, things took an amusing turn when Kai Cenat himself wasn’t among the top three picks, despite being the brain behind the entire event. Instead, attendees dressed as astronauts, deliverymen, and even a baby—along with Cenat’s own mother—were selected before him, adding to the humor of the parody.

Cenat, who has amassed global popularity through his entertaining streams, decided to take a step back from the virtual world to focus on basketball—at least for now. His passion for the game and his creative approach to the LBA earned him some praise, but it also made him a target for some playful jabs, especially from rapper Lil Yachty.

Lil Yachty Praises, Then Playfully Roasts Kai Cenat

Lil Yachty, a close friend of Cenat and an attendee at one of the LBA games, didn’t hesitate to weigh in. In an interview during the event, the rapper commended Cenat for his innovation in content creation. “Man, I think he is so innovative,” Yachty said. “As far as content creation goes, who would’ve thought of this?” He even praised Cenat for using his platform to create something positive for the younger generation, referring to the LBA’s focus on junior players.

But when the conversation turned toward Cenat’s decision to leave streaming in pursuit of a basketball career, Lil Yachty didn’t hold back. “That took a lot of courage,” Yachty quipped, “but he should come out of retirement… because this ain’t a promising career.” The rapper’s light-hearted jabs didn’t stop there. When asked what advice he’d give Cenat as his coach, Yachty said, “Give up the ball more, because his shots ain’t going in.” Coincidentally, as Yachty delivered these remarks, Cenat was seen struggling on the court in a split-screen stream, making the timing of Yachty’s roast even funnier.

Cenat’s First LBA Game: Highlights and Viral Moments

Kai Cenat’s first game in the LBA took place between the Dallas Giants and the NYC Skyscrapers, with Cenat representing his hometown team. The content creator had an eventful debut, though it wasn’t exactly smooth sailing. In the first quarter alone, he committed four fouls, showcasing his eagerness but perhaps also a lack of experience on the court.

Despite a few setbacks, including getting blocked multiple times by opponents and even taking a hard fall, Cenat managed to contribute to his team’s win. He grabbed two rebounds, blocked a shot from the opposing team, and fired up his teammates with a motivational speech after securing the victory. Clips from the game quickly went viral, with one video of the event’s production value—featuring overhead shots of the stadium—racking up millions of views.

After the game, Cenat hyped up his team and gave a shout-out to the NYC Skyscrapers’ coach, sealing his first “professional” win in his basketball career. Though Cenat’s skills on the court may be a work in progress, his ability to entertain and draw in massive audiences remains unquestionable.

As for his future in basketball? Only time will tell if he’s serious about the switch or if it’s all part of the fun. One thing’s for sure—he’ll have Lil Yachty cheering him on, and roasting him along the way.
