Kai Cenat is giving the artist formerly known as Kanye West his flowers.

Cenat made a reaction video to Ye’s new album Bully on his kai’s Mind YouTube channel, and the streamer praised the project.

“I am not going to lie. This was a banger album,” Cenat said at the very end of the stream. “I feel like he didn't do too much overly experimental shit. I feel like he did just enough. You feel me? I ain't gonna lie. I like this one. I really like this one, honestly. I’ll fuck with it.” Check out the full video below.

Ye dropped off his 12th album, Bully, last week. The 18-track offering boasts features from Travis Scott, CeeLo Green, Don Toliver, Peso Pluma, and André Troutman, and production from the Legendary Traxster, 88-Keys, and James Blake, among others. Bully includes the single “Father,” featuring Scott.

Cenat and Ye haven’t always been on good terms. In January of 2025, Kai found himself a part of the Bully rollout when West shared an edited image of a horse promoting the album in the streamer’s house. Cenat later addressed the confusion during a stream.

“I don’t even know what this shit means,” he said. “Now, listen, I know he’s got an album coming out. And I’m not gon’ lie, I think I’m officially a part of the rollout. I don’t know, though. Brilliant move by him. I think I’m a part of the rollout. He made me a part of the fucking rollout, dude.”

Kai continued, “But it’s the most random thing. Like, I wanna pick at his brain, and I wonder why. Oh my god. He’s trying to call me a dehydrated horse. Oh my god. What can this mean? Is he gonna diss me?”

Ye later reached out to Cenat via a DM, which the 24-year-old revealed to his subscribers.

“Oh my gosh. Kanye just texted me,” Cenat said. “Kanye said, ‘Happy new year, family.’ I’m not lying to you. … The beef is over, chat. The beef is over.”

Cena’s declaration of the end of their feud came months after West publicly slammed Kai as an “industry plant.”
