Kai Cenat nearly had a meltdown because he was on stage at Fanatics Fest with LeBron James and Tom Brady.

Cenat sat on stage for a panel of The Shop with James, Brady, Paul Rivera, Victor Wembanyama and Maverick Carter. While Carter was speaking, Cenat interrupted him to express his excitement to be there for the huge moment.

“I’m not even gonna lie, Maverick, forget all that. I’m with LeBron James!” said Cenat, then shaking James’ hand. “I tried to hold it in chat but I’m not going to act like I’m not next to Tom Brady, LeBron James. I can’t lie — I don’t even know how I’m here now.”

Elsewhere in the conversation, Cenat and James had fun at Brady’s expense when the legendary football player said that he had to get “thick” while explaining the difference between training in basketball and football. Both Cenat and James responded with “Ayo” to Brady’s statement.

Cenat’s been having the time of his life at Fanatics Fest so far. At the event that’s brought out Derek Jeter, Spike Lee, and Jay-Z, and more. In another clip from the event, Cenat got James to confirm that they’ll be streaming together in the near future.

Cenat also introduced Cash Nasty and The Tylilshow to James in an emotional moment captured on stream that made Tylil start screaming in front of everyone and Nasty break down in tears.

Throughout Fanatics Fest weekend, make sure you grab one of the many drops that attendees can get their hands on, such as the Joshua Vides x Nike x Yankees x Mets drop and the Salehe Bembury x Mitchell & Ness x Knicks drop that were both curated by Complex in partnership with Fanatics.
