Rihanna Stuns Kai Cenat By Sliding Into His DMs: 'This Is Insane!'

Rihanna has revealed herself to be a fan of Kai Cenat — much to the streamer’s astonishment.

While broadcasting on his popular Twitch channel on Monday (April 7), Cenat revealed that he had received a direct message on Instagram from the Barbadian superstar.

In his typically energetic style, Cenat reacted to the DM by screaming and running around his room.

The 23-year-old then began playing Rihanna’s mega hit “Diamonds” and sung along to its hook.

When he finally calmed down, Kai Cenat held his phone to the camera and showed those watching the stream the message that he received from Rihanna.

In the message, RiRi reacted to Cenat recently giving away free pizza to young fans by writing: “Kaaaaaaiii!!! I love this.”

She then followed up by saying: “I know you do this all the time but the kids they genuinely love you. Great job all around man.”

Cenat then said during his stream: “This is crazy. This is insane. Thank you, man.”

The clip Rihanna was referencing is from just a few days ago when a number of young fans recognized Cenat in a pizza restaurant.

In the heartwarming clip, the two youngsters are waiting for pizza with their parents when they spot Cenat and tell him they watch him on YouTube.

A moved Cenat then tells their father that he will pay for whatever they want.

The streaming star appears on good terms with Rihanna and her family as her longtime boyfriend A$AP Rocky recently sent Kai some gifts for Christmas — although he couldn’t wear them due to a clash of endorsement deals.

During a stream over the holiday period, Cenat was elated to find out a package he’d received was from the Harlem rapper, only to be quickly deflated upon learning what it was he’d sent.

“Damn A$AP, I’m Nike! N-gga, I can’t have no fucking Puma!” Kai yelled. “Come on. Damn, man! A$AP, I can’t do this! Shout out A$AP, though.”
