Kai Cenat could barely contain himself after landing on stage at Fanatics Fest alongside LeBron James and Tom Brady.
During a live panel of The Shop, featuring James, Brady, Paul Rivera, Victor Wembanyama, and Maverick Carter, Cenat couldn’t hold back his excitement. As Carter was speaking, Cenat jumped in to share just how surreal the moment felt.
“I’m not even gonna lie, Maverick, forget all that. I’m with LeBron James!” he exclaimed, reaching out to shake LeBron’s hand. “I tried to hold it in, chat, but I’m not gonna act like I’m not next to Tom Brady and LeBron James. I can’t lie — I don’t even know how I’m here right now.”
At another point during the panel, things took a hilarious turn when Tom Brady mentioned he had to get “thick” while breaking down the physical demands of football compared to basketball. That comment didn’t go unnoticed—both Kai Cenat and LeBron James instantly jumped in with a playful “Ayo,” cracking up the crowd and poking fun at Brady’s choice of words.
Kai Cenat has been living it up at Fanatics Fest, rubbing shoulders with legends like Derek Jeter, Spike Lee, Jay-Z, and more. The energy’s been nonstop for the streamer, and in another viral moment from the event, he even got LeBron James to confirm they’ll be hopping on a stream together soon.
Kai Cenat also created a powerful moment when he introduced Cash Nasty and The Tylilshow to LeBron James. The emotional encounter, caught live on stream, had Tylil screaming in disbelief in front of the crowd, while Cash Nasty was overcome with emotion and broke down in tears.
