Kai Cenat lost it after hearing Shannon Sharpe joke about his height while discussing the Twitch streamer’s appearance at the NBA All-Star Weekend.
The ex-NFL legend and Stephen A. Smith shared their criticism of the Dunk Contest on First Take Monday (February 19). While Sharpe considered Mac McClung a worthy winner, he was less than enthusiastic about Jaylen Brown’s final-round dunk.
The Boston Celtic’s guard jumped over Cenat sitting in a chair while other contestants jumped over players even taller than themselves. However, Kai Cenat caught a stray as Shannon Sharpe clowned his height.
“Jaylen Brown jumped over Kai Cenat sitting in a seat,” Sharpe stated. “What am I supposed to do with that, Stephen A.? They should have given him a two across the board. The man is already three feet tall. You put him in a chair, now he 1’5″.”

Clips of his remarks were widely shared on social media and eventually made their way to the content creator.
Kai Cenat became furious with Shannon Sharpe while watching the segment live on his Twitch stream.
“Oh, f### you, Shannon!” Cenat raged, banging his fist on the desk, causing something to smash off-camera. “Oh, f### no! I didn’t know he said this s###! Shannon, f### you!”
He continued expressing disbelief before adding, “Is this national TV, my n####? What the f###?”

A few hours later, Shannon Sharpe watched Kai Cenat reacting to him while on Nightcap with Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson. According to Sharpe, he didn’t mean to make fun of Cenat, and the duo invited Cenat on the show to make amends.
