Kai Cenat’s friend, Tylil, went viral during the BET Awards 2025 for speaking to Kevin Gates about LeBron James comments.
One of streaming’s most touching moments unfolded ahead of Fanatics Fest 2025, when LeBron James met two lifelong fans—streamers CashNasty and Tylil.
The emotional encounter, arranged by fellow streamer Kai Cenat, happened backstage in New York before any cameras rolled. For the two creators, meeting the NBA legend brought tears, joy, and a dream realized.
LeBron was set to appear at the festival alongside Tom Brady, Victor Wembanyama, and Maverick Carter. He was also scheduled for a surprise Twitch stream with Kai, which had already sparked excitement online. But what happened behind the scenes became the real highlight.
As Kai mingled backstage, he spotted LeBron with his mother, Gloria James, and longtime agent Rich Paul—who had appeared on his stream before. Kai approached Rich and asked for a chance to meet the basketball icon.

Without hesitation, Rich agreed. Moments later, Kai introduced CashNasty and Tylil to the man they had admired for years. LeBron welcomed them with warmth, and the weight of the moment overwhelmed the two. Their emotional reaction wasn’t about going viral—it was about years of admiration culminating in a rare, genuine connection.
The video of their meeting quickly went viral, but not for shock value. It captured something sincere—three friends sharing a life-changing moment with someone who helped shape their childhoods. Kai, often the star himself, stepped aside and gave them the moment. Fans praised him for his humility and grace.
In a space often dominated by spectacle, this meeting reminded viewers of something simpler: pure gratitude. No grand production. No stunt. Just a human moment between fans and their hero.
With more than 18 million followers, Kai Cenat continues to shape the future of streaming. But by helping his friends meet LeBron James, he did something more personal—he reminded the world that behind every username is a dreamer hoping for a moment just like this.
