Kai Cenat helps CashNasty and Tylil meet LeBron James at Fanatics Fest in New York
The encounter came just before a surprise Twitch stream featuring LeBron, Tom Brady, Victor Wembanyama and Maverick Carter, but it was this personal connection that stood out.
As Kai mingled, he spotted LeBron alongside his mother Gloria James and agent Rich Paul—who has featured on his streams before.
Politely approaching Rich, Kai asked if CashNasty and Tylil could meet the athlete. Rich warmly accommodated the request. Moments later, the pair stepped forward to meet LeBron, visibly moved as years of admiration culminated in this unscripted meeting.
The emotional interactions, captured in a video that has since spread online, reveal authentic reactions. Both CashNasty and Tylil were overcome with gratitude as they met the man who shaped so much of their lives. Tylil later posted that he got LeBron's autograph on his wrist tattooed along with the date they met.

Malik Beasley under federal investigation for alleged NBA gambling during Bucks season
Detroit Pistons guard Malik Beasley is under investigation by the U.S. District Attorney's office for allegedly betting on NBA games and player prop bets, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. No charges have been filed. 'An investigation is not a charge,' Beasley's attorney, Steve Haney, told ESPN. 'Malik is afforded the same right of the presumption of innocence as anyone else under the U.S. Constitution. As of now, he has not been charged with anything.' NBA spokesperson Mike Bass confirmed the league is cooperating with federal prosecutors. The investigation stems from suspicious betting patterns reported by a U.S. sportsbook, which flagged unusual activity involving Beasley's prop bets beginning in January 2024. At that time, Beasley was playing for the Milwaukee Bucks, prior to his stint with the Pistons. He started 77 games that season and averaged 11.3 points while shooting 41% from three-point range. That performance had significantly boosted his value on the market, and the Pistons were in advanced discussions to re-sign Beasley to a three-year, $42 million deal, per Charania. However, those talks are now paused. The investigation could also cool interest from other teams in free agency. Beasley, 28, signed a one-year, $6 million deal with Detroit last season and delivered a breakout year. He averaged 16.3 points per game, shot 41% from three, and finished second in NBA Sixth Man of the Year voting. His 319 made three-pointers ranked second in the league behind Minnesota's Anthony Edwards. He also became just the third player in NBA history to make 300 threes while shooting over 40%. With his future uncertain, the Pistons—who just drafted Tennessee sharpshooter Chaz Lanier and are pursuing free agent Nickeil Walker-Alexander—may need to accelerate efforts to secure backcourt reinforcements. Beasley remains eligible to play and sign with teams pending further legal developments.

Nicki Minaj sparks fan theories with cryptic tweet about Kai Cenat after LeBron livestream announcement
Nicki Minaj stirred speculation online after posting a cryptic message referencing Twitch streamer Kai Cenat on X (formerly Twitter) on June 19, 2025. The post, which read, 'Oh they Kai friend now?', has led to widespread discussion and theories among fans trying to interpret its meaning. Nicki Minaj seemingly posts about Kai Cenat on X 'Oh they Kai friend now? lol.' — FearBuck (@FearedBuck) June 20, 2025 The post has reignited discussion about Minaj's relationship with Kai Cenat, which dates back to December 2023 when she appeared on his livestream and danced on camera. The appearance drew criticism from Rap Radar CEO Elliott Wilson, prompting both Nicki and Kai to respond publicly. Wilson later apologized for his comments. Though the intent behind Nicki's recent post remains unclear, it coincides with Cenat's announcement of an upcoming IRL livestream featuring NBA star LeBron James. Some fans speculate the tweet might be directed at Cenat's rumored associations with new ventures—possibly involving Roc Nation or an appearance on the show The Shop. While no official link has been confirmed, users online believe that Kai's proximity to certain high-profile figures may have triggered Minaj's remark. One user wrote, 'Kai supposedly linked up with the Roc Nation camp in Paris,' while another claimed, 'They wanna make him change his opinions and manipulate the narrative.' Others expressed confusion, with one post reading, 'Can y'all shut the [expletive] up in the comments with that mysterious sh*t. I'm trying to know what's tea.' This renewed attention on Cenat follows his red carpet confrontation with Elliott Wilson at the 2025 Grammy Awards, where the two appeared to resolve their earlier tension. Wilson admitted to criticizing Nicki, apologized to both her and Cenat, and received forgiveness in return. As of now, Nicki Minaj has not elaborated on the tweet, leaving fans to continue piecing together the meaning behind her cryptic message.
