The recent fallout between Twitch streamer Kai Cenat and YouTuber Zoe Spencer has sparked considerable debate within the online community. Cenat allegedly rejected Spencer’s application for his innovative Streamer University program, prompting an emotional response from Spencer during her livestream as she processed the news of her rejection.
Following her outpouring of emotion on stream, Cenat expressed that he felt “second-hand embarrassment”from Spencer’s behavior during her appearance on the Druski show, suggesting that some subtle interactions with his associates may have influenced his decision regarding her application.
This article delves into Zoe Spencer’s heartfelt remarks during her livestream and Kai Cenat’s subsequent reaction in his own broadcast, shedding light on the underlying tensions between the two content creators.
Understanding the Controversy: Cenat and Spencer’s Streamer University Drama
Kai Cenat’s Streamer University is a weekend initiative designed to empower budding streamers by offering them guidance in content creation from experienced instructors within a genuine college environment. The program is completely free and recently, Cenat divulged the names of the selected candidates who would participate in this unique opportunity.
Unfortunately for Zoe Spencer, she was not among those chosen. During her Twitch stream on May 16, 2025, she reflected emotionally on her rejection, likening it to the feeling of being a friend who wasn’t invited to a social gathering.
In her emotional confession, she questioned why she felt like an outsider, stating:
“I don’t understand why I’m outcasted the way I am. I’m not a troublemaker, yeah, I play, but don’t we all play? Don’t we all do the same thing?”
Moreover, she dismissed any rumors about a romantic relationship with Kai Cenat, declaring that such speculation was “absolutely not true.”
In his response to her emotional broadcast, Cenat took to his own stream and began detailing the reasoning behind Zoe’s application denial:
“Read between the lines… It started here. September 24th. In Atlanta. I ain’t never said nothing, and I ain’t gon lie, I ain’t hold it, I’m not holding this against you. I’m not putting it past you because I know who you are as a person. September 24th. Druski Show. I never got to tell you how that sh** made me feel…”
Kai revealed that he felt significant embarrassment during Spencer’s behavior, continuing to elaborate on his feelings:
“I deada** for the first time, and my bad that I didn’t get to talk about it with you, but like, felt second hand embarrassment, like felt embarrassed… You know, Zoe is like very… outgoing, she’s very positive, that’s her sh**… But, right there, something felt off.”
While there has been much speculation around what Cenat meant by his “second-hand embarrassment”remark, a clip from a previous encounter between them shows a heated moment where Spencer called Cenat a “bum,”and he retaliated by labeling her a “b***h,”before fellow AMP member Roberto “Fanum”stepped in to diffuse the situation.
Moreover, in his broadcast, Cenat mentioned incidents behind the scenes that influenced his decision regarding Spencer’s application:
“It’s none of my business.. something happened with Zoe and the bros… behind the scenes, that was some type of weird sh** going on that’s just, that’s never been on the internet, none of that, and there’s no reason for me to talk.”
In related news, Twitch streamer Louis “LosPollosTV”recently found himself in hot water after his father remarked on Cenat’s Streamer University, dismissing it as a “scam”and a “money grab,”prompting an apology from LosPollosTV.
