Lil Tjay didn’t hold back when he aired his views on the recent chaotic Twitch stream featuring Kodak Black, hosted by Kai Cenat.
The scene unfolded during Cenat’s 30-day streaming marathon called “Mafiathon 2,” where Kodak Black’s unusual antics, such as seemingly taking drugs and erratically behaving, drew notable attention. Both Cenat and spectators expressed their worry over Kodak’s actions, including a particularly alarming moment where he ‘trickshot’ a pill and then collapsed.
Reacting to the unsettling broadcast, Lil Tjay took to his Instagram Story to criticize Cenat and Adin Ross harshly. His messages labeled them as ‘d riders’ and accused Ross directly of being a ‘culture vulture’ and ‘racist.’ Tjay was clear in denying any drug use, asserting, “I don’t take Percs,” and expressed disdain at suggestions otherwise. “I might sip lean a little now and then, but way less than you,” he remarked disparagingly.
Tjay elaborated on his grievances in a video where he accused Ross of exploiting others to climb the social media ladder. “He just grind his way to the top using that little face card he got and use n-ggas,” Tjay argued, urging fellow artists to remain aware of such manipulations. He challenged viewers to understand the context of rappers’ behaviors, which might seem odd to outsiders but are often products of their unique environments.
The stream in question wasn’t without its drama. Kodak Black was seen sweating and chatting incoherently with fans on Twitch, and at one point, removed his shirt, seemingly aggravating Cenat’s concerns. These bizarre moments sparked varied reactions from viewers, raising further questions about the handling of the stream and participant welfare.
Before Tjay’s outspoken comments, Kodak had already responded to the criticism of his behavior through an Instagram Live. He expressed frustration over the backlash for taking a single Perc, highlighting the inconsistency in public opinion towards drug use. “Everybody got a vice, some kind of way — even if it ain’t drugs,” he reflected, defending his lifestyle choices.
Lil Tjay’s exchange with Adin Ross reveals tensions within the streaming and music communities, raising important discussions about authenticity, exploitation, and the realities of artists’ lives. As public figures navigate these complex interactions, their choices continue to be scrutinized, reminding audiences of the nuanced narratives behind the entertainment facade.
