DJ Akademiks says NBA YoungBoy tried to contact Kai Cenat over cheating rumors

DJ Akademiks has added new details to the ongoing drama involving Kai Cenat, NBA YoungBoy, and rumors of an alleged affair. Speaking on stream, Akademiks claimed that NBA YoungBoy personally attempted to reach out to Kai Cenat to clear his name after online speculation linked him to Kai’s ex-girlfriend, Gigi Alayah.

According to Akademiks, Kai did not respond to the outreach, which has left NBA YoungBoy’s camp frustrated. They believe the rumor has continued to spread because there was no direct conversation to shut it down early, despite YoungBoy strongly denying any involvement.The controversy began shortly after Kai Cenat announced his breakup on December 27, 2025, posting online that he was single and stepping away from relationships.

Soon after, unverified posts started circulating on X, claiming Gigi Alayah had cheated on Kai with NBA YoungBoy. The story quickly gained traction across social media, pulling multiple high-profile names into the discussion. Gigi later responded publicly, denying the allegations and stating she ended the relationship herself, never cheated, and had no connection to NBA YoungBoy.

NBA YoungBoy reportedly frustrated after Kai Cenat ignores outreach

Akademiks explained that while he is not placing blame on Kai Cenat, the lack of communication has allowed the rumor to linger.

He claimed NBA YoungBoy wanted a direct conversation with Kai to deny the allegations and stop fans from associating his name with the situation. According to Akademiks, YoungBoy’s team believes the timing of the rumor was suspicious and possibly planted, especially given how quickly it spread following Kai’s breakup announcement.

The rapper’s camp is reportedly unhappy because the situation continues to affect YoungBoy’s reputation, even though he has denied the claims.

Akademiks urged Kai to take the call, suggesting that a private discussion could help put the issue to rest. However, as of now, no reconciliation or public clarification between the two has taken place. Fans continue to debate the situation, keeping the story alive in both hip-hop and streaming communities.For Kai Cenat, the drama occurs at a time when he has been very open and outspoken about seeking healing and personal growth after the breakup. On one hand, he may have decided to keep quiet on the rumors; nevertheless, the fact that he is keeping quiet is a big part of the debate. As long as there is no direct communication and statement between all parties involved, one will know how rumor and drama can escalate online concerning popular personalities.
