Was Twitch streamer Rakai recently involved in some controversy?

RaKai made headlines in April 2025 when he collaborated with Tay "Lil Tay" for Twitch livestreams. However, things took a turn on April 10, 2025, when Lil Tay accused the streamer of "humiliating and disrespecting" her.

Furthermore, the musician alleged that she "wanted to have a good time and have fun" while collaborating with RaKai. However, according to her, she was "disrespected, made the butt of the joke," and was "subjected to racism."

The streamer eventually responded to Lil Tay's claims by displaying a travel itinerary on his phone. While claiming that he had paid for Tay's flight from Atlanta to Los Angeles, RaKai called the American-Canadian personality a "liar."

During an IRL stream on April 13, 2025, Kai Cenat and RaKai engaged in lighthearted banter, during which the two-time Streamer of the Year award winner claimed that RaKai had to "worry" about Lil Tay because she was allegedly "suing" him, adding that he was "about to go to court."
