It all started on October 11, 2023, when X user @PLZHELPKARDY posted a series of tweets revealing BruceDropEmOff's private direct messages. In one screenshot, the Kick streamer threw shade at Kai Cenat's acting skills by bringing up his short movie, Global Pursuit.

He also used a homophobic slur to refer to American rapper Lil Yachty, writing:

"Now n****s want to go into acting like ain't been acting. IDC (I don't care), Cailou, on god, I'm not watching that s**t. Man, though (laughing emoji). Yachty a f****t, too. He called me when they dropped it to ask me to be on it. Friday."

In another screenshot, BruceDropEmOff requested that posts about Adin Ross and Cheesur be removed and used a derogatory term to describe the pair. He also mentioned Darren "IShowSpeed":

"Remove every post talking about Adin, Cheesur. Them lame cr**kers. That Speed s**t showed it all. MFs is about to do the craziest s**t to stay relevant. Now, Kai (is) playing CS. Lol, MFs are d**k riders. Yo, NGL (not going to lie), check my inv (invite)."

Kai Cenat addressed the controversy during a livestream on October 13, 2023, expressing his displeasure with BruceDropEmOff's comments. He asserted that he didn't want to be the streamer's friend anymore, claiming he was "dangerous":

"I don't want to be your friend no more. I don't want to be associated with you no more. I don't, I don't give a f**k what you got going on. Because it is dangerous to have a n***a like that in my circle."

Three days later, on October 16, 2023, BruceDropEmOff reflected on the controversy and took accountability for offending Cenat. Explaining why he expressed such sentiments in the private messages, the former One True King (OTK) member said:

"You know, hurt people hurt people and say hurtful things, and at the time of those things when they were said? I can definitely say from the actions of other people behind closed doors, I was hurt."
