In a recent livestream, Kai Cenat alleged that Adin Ross’s manager, Taav Cooperman, used a racial slur during a phone conversation a few weeks back.
According to Kai Cenat, Cooperman called him one night, around 4 a.m., to invite him to Adin Ross’ birthday. When he declined, the popular streamer claims that his conversation with a very “drunk” Cooperman quickly took a turn for the worse.
“Taav called me late at night, 4 a.m., drunk or off something…He wants me to be there the evening of the next day. I tell him, ‘Yo, Taav, I don’t think I’m going to be able to do it. But I’ll let you know, bro,’” Cenat said.
Amid their brief discussion, Cooperman — while trying to compliment Kai on his expanding business portfolio — called him the n-word several times. Cenat continued: “‘Yo, Kai, I just want to say, man, congrats on all the brand deals you doing. I know that, from Nike to McDonald’s — Taav is a White man, by the way…He proceeds to say, ‘From Nike to McDonald’s, but bro, keep it real, bro, n*gga, a Chicken Big Mac, n*gga?! Na, a Chicken Big Mac, n*gga?!’”
Kai added, “He on my phone, calling me the n-word at 4 AM in the f*king morning! You supposed to be a n*gga’s manager. What’s up with you?”
In other news, Kai Cenat sat down for a fiery interview on Hot Ones this week, navigating the show’s signature heat while opening up about his influence in hip-hop. As host Sean Evans put it, Cenat has quietly become a tastemaker, amplifying rising talent and shaping musical conversations across streaming culture.
Evans floated a hypothetical: if Cenat launched his own record label, who would be the first artists he’d sign? The Bronx-born creator didn’t hesitate. “I genuinely believe A Boogie is underrated,” he said. “If I had the opportunity to build around him, I think we could create something extraordinary. It might be a biased opinion since I’m from New York, but I truly feel that way.”
