Controversial Kick streamer and YouTuber Vitaly joined hands with yet another big name in his stream. This time the guest was American rapper YG, who appeared on the streamer's latest IRL broadcast (July 29) centered around his infamous "Catching Predators" series. However, it appears that one of Vitaly's jokes may have annoyed YG.
For context, Vitaly revealed to YG that Quavo was supposed to be one of his streams but he didn't "show up." The streamer then proceeded to ask which rapper YG talks with the most. While the latter was pondering upon the question, Vitaly chimed in by stating:
"Drake? (laughs)"
YG responded:
"Don't do that."
He did eventually answer but Vitaly wasn't quite done with his joke as he added 6ix9ine and Diddy's names too (both these names have been embroiled in some serious allegations). YG responded:
"Why are you trolling bro? (Vitaly responds stating that he was simply reading the chat) Stop trolling dawg...you clout chasing. You trying to go viral. I thought you were already viral."
Despite the response from YG, he later added that he was simply messing around with his reaction and didn't actually take real offense in the joke.

What is Kick streamer Vitaly's controversial 'Catching Predators' series?
Kick streamer Virtaly is no stranger to controversies. While he made his name on YouTube, over the past year or two, he has transitioned into a full-time streamer on Kick, the Stake-owned streaming platform.
While he made his name on YouTube through prank-style videos and skits, Vitaly's streaming career has mostly revolved around his "Catching Predators" series, in which he tries to confront real-life alleged groomers and pedophiles live on stream.
This type of content has also garnered a lot of concerns and backlash due to the sensitivity of the topic as well as the possible legal repercussions. For instance, during an IRL stream, a stream sniper assaulted one of these alleged perpetrators and injured him.
Nonetheless, he has teamed up with some major names such as fellow Kick streamer Adin Ross, professional boxer and online personality Ryan Garcia, and now rapper YG for this series.
Another streamer who was supposed to join his stream on July 28 was Quavo. The streamer remarked that Quavo had taken money for the stream but canceled at the last minute. The streamer also ended up making a racially insensitive joke about the situation, which stirred up controversy.
