Twitch streamer and video creator Cenat and West are feuding over a hilarious misfire that eventually needed the hip-hop icon’s manager to kill the flames.

During Kanye West’s stream, Cenat expressed disappointment in the disproportionate size of the sweatpants Ye gifted him.
“Bro, this s**t is not fitting me, bro!” Cenat then started dancing comically in the oversized sweatpants to 50 Cent’s hit, ‘In da Club.’
Clearly displeased West flooded Cenat’s DM with messages expressing his disappointment.
Kanye West didn’t find it funny at all. The ‘Vultures 1’ artist sent Cenat an angry Instagram message. It said, “Don’t make any jokes about my clothes…When you ain’t saying anything about what Adidas is doing…When Vultures song came out you ain’t play my verse…You controlled. Don’t play with me.”
Cenat was surprised by the DM. He said, “I hear you, bro, but ain’t no jokes was being said when I first opened up that package. I showed love instantly. All I did was try on the sweats, and they didn’t fit. No jokes made, I immediately asked for a new pair.”
Kanye, not accepting the response, asked Cenat if he had replied incorrectly to him, to which Cenat confirmed that Kanye was not happy with the response at all as he replied, “You were told to diss my s**t. You are a pawn.”
