"Rapper without an insane ego": Fans praise Central Cee for asking Plaqueboymax's permission to smoke days after Lil Tjay controversy

Central Cee's recent appearance in FaZe Clan member Maxwell "Plaqueboymax's" broadcast has reinvigorated conversations surrounding the recent controversy that involved rapper Lil Tjay and Fivio Foreign. After being told not to smoke inside an Airbnb by the streamer, the two left his room, only for Lil Tjay to later make a statement berating Plaqueboymax for prohibiting him from smoking.

In contrast, Central Cee had a much more polite way of seeking permission to smoke inside his Plaqueboymax's premises:

"You don't smoke on stream, though?... On the stream? Oh! It's only the other place that you couldn't smoke. So the mandem can smoke in here?"

In response, Plaqueboymax said:

"Y'all good! Y'all good!"

Many users remarked upon the stark difference in the way the issue of smoking indoors was handled by Central Cee and Lil Tjay, with many praising the English drill rapper for not having an "ego" when met with potential restrictions:

"Finally a rapper without an insane ego," wrote X user @yoxics

"Gotta respect that, bro being polite," wrote X user @busncuy

"it’s so refreshing seeing rappers with manners like Central Cee," wrote X user @opretty

"Central Cee shows thoughtful consideration," wrote X user @ZainabHaid3r

On the other side, many continued to criticize Lil Tjay for his prior behavior with Plaqueboymax, and encouraged him to take inspiration from Central Cee:

"lil Tjay corny a** watching this," wrote X user Dubswrld0

"See how he was respectful in someone else’s house? Take notes liltjay," wrote X user @muylinnn

What happened between Plaqueboymax and Lil Tjay in New York?

To those unaware, Plaqueboymax had a fallout with Lil Tjay and Fivio Foreign after he asked them to not smoke inside his Airbnb to avoid triggering the smoke alarm. The two were seen leaving the Airbnb soon after. As confirmed by Plaqueboymax in his broadcast with Central Cee as well, triggering the smoke alarm would have meant that he and his entire friend group would be kicked out of the Airbnb.

Later on, during a conversation with fellow rapper DDG, Tjay went off on a tirade against Plaqueboymax and claimed that he would have "slapped" the streamer if he had not been broadcasting at the time. Further, Tjay claimed that he was unaware of who Plaqueboymax was until he went to his Airbnb.
