Popular content creator Kai Cenat received a text message from Rihanna while he was streaming on April 8, 2025. The internet personality threw his chair behind him in shock and did not know how to react. Kai started playing the singer’s hit song Diamonds and danced in front of his camera in celebration.
“Rihanna just texted me. What the f**k. What the f**k. RiRi. Ay, shoutout to RiRi, shoutout to ASAP f**king Rock man. Yo bro, what the f**k gang! (responds to subscriptions). How the f**k. Rihanna just texted me, gang.”
The streamer showed his inbox to the audience, which had two messages from Rihanna. She forwarded a viral clip featuring Kai buying food for a child at a grocery store and followed up with a text, saying:
“Kaaaaiii i love this!”
