Joe Budden isn’t holding back his feelings about Kai Cenat’s infamous New York City giveaway that turned into chaos. While chatting with Lil Yachty, Budden made it clear that his problem with Cenat is purely as a New Yorker.
Despite any assumptions, Budden stated, “Why would you think I have a problem with Kai?” He acknowledged that he’s aware of where the narrative began. Referring to Cenat’s stunt on 14th Street, Union Square, Budden admitted he had a “big issue with that as a New Yorker.”
Last August, Cenat’s giveaway, which was meant to be a fun event giving out video game consoles and other items, ended up causing a massive disturbance. Thousands gathered, leading to chaos and several arrests. Cenat, who originally promoted the event on social media, even landed in police custody.
When Budden’s comments about Cenat were shared on Instagram, reactions were mixed. One fan suggested, “He doesn’t like Kai Cenat because he’s jealous. Simple.” Another implied that Budden’s criticism was unfounded, noting, “This is when you really don’t have an actual reason to dislike someone so you just grasp at anything.” Others were quick to point out that Cenat is actually from New York himself.
Amid the online buzz, both Budden and Cenat continue to make headlines. Whether it’s through interviews or social media updates, their names keep cropping up in the conversations of fans and critics alike.
While Joe Budden’s issue with Kai Cenat centered around a single chaotic event in New York City, the larger conversation highlights varying perspectives among their audiences. As both figures remain active and vocal, only time will tell how their narratives unfold.
