Here are 5 sensational moments from Kai Cenat and Young Dabo's stream

1) Kai Cenat and Young Dabo get removed from backstage

Kai Cenat and Dabo were removed from the event's backstage despite having adequate permits. The Twitch streamer is quite close to hip-hop artists and presumably received permission from the Rolling Loud organizers. One of his team members even stated that the CEO of the event had permitted them on to backstage:

"(Inaudible) said we good. The CEO."

However, this was met by one of the organizers stating that the stage belonged to Playboi Carti and not the CEO. He said:

"The CEO doesn't run the stage. It is (Playboi) Carti's stage."

Although Kai Cenat and Dabo could no longer access the backstage view, they enjoyed a prime viewing experience from a designated VIP area right in front of the stage. In fact, during Playboi Carti's performance at the Rolling Loud event, the rapper spotted the creators and handed them his YVL (it stands for Young Vamp Life) chain.

Receiving a memento directly from the rapper was naturally an unforgettable experience. Cenat passed it to Young Dabo, who has been collaborating with him over the past few days, especially during Carti's album release.

3) Young Dabo gets a shout out from rapper Playboi Carti

Carti has maintained a close connection with the content creator scene, even providing exclusive information to select streamers ahead of the release of his latest album, I AM MUSIC. As a gesture of appreciation, he gave a live shoutout to Young Dabo during the event. At one point during his performance, he said:

"I'm seeing (Young) Dabo keeps smiling at me. Yo Dabo, what's up ni**a! You know what time it is."

Dabo was one of the creators who joined a Discord call with the rapper over the weekend on the day of his album release. Getting a personal message from the rapper himself was a rollercoaster of a moment for the creator.

Kai Cenat and Dabo's stream got even better when the duo received a surprise invitation to join The Weeknd and Playboi Carti live on stage. The Weeknd performed his hit song Timeless with the two creators present, making it another viral moment.

This marked Kai Cenat's first collaboration with The Weeknd, though he had previously worked with Playboi Carti. Naturally, the moment was exciting for both the streaming and music communities.

Kai Cenat and Dabo had an eventful experience at the recent Rolling Loud event, where they were invited on stage. One of the most highly anticipated tracks, Evil Jordan, from Carti's latest I AM MUSIC album, had the crowd buzzing. Naturally, when the beat dropped, both creators were beyond hyped.

Just before the beat dropped, Kai Cenat went full pop star mode - taking off his hoodie and throwing it into the crowd, just like a seasoned performer on stage. The streamer later took to his X account to share a clip from his on-stage appearance.
