Kai Cenat had to step in to defend Tota Mc this week after he used the N-word in front of Teyana Taylor, who at the time wasn't sure of the Streamer University attendee's race.

The singer and actor joined the streamer’s Mafiathon 3 event, where she dramatically introduced Tota before he rapped YNW’s song "Murder on My Mind" while using a Heinz ketchup bottle as a mic.

in a clip from the stream, Teyana and Kai are seen rocking out when she stops dead in her tracks upon hearing Tota say the N-word. "Whoa," Taylor says, prompting Cenat to say, "He good. His dad Black as shit."

"Oh, alright," Taylor says, before the pair resumes dancing. She also does the robot, which surprises Tota, who proceeds to call Taylor, "very good."

In another clip from the stream, Tota pops up on them and scares them while they’re eating. "You almost made me drop my rib," Taylor says to him.

"He from Brazil, he don’t know anything you’re saying," Cenat tells her.

At one point, the Escape Room artist also recited a prayer with Cenat, which can be seen below.

In addition to Taylor, Ne-Yo and Ray J have joined Kai for Mafiathon 3. The 23-year-old announced the 24-hour, non-stop streaming event in late August with the help of Michael B. Jordan, where Kai proposed aiming for one million subscribers.

The subathon kicked off on September 1 and follows last year’s Mafiathon 2, which saw appearances from dozens of celebrity guests, like SZA and GloRilla, and ended with Kai landing a record-breaking 728,000 Twitch subscribers.
