NBA YoungBoy’s Make America Slime Again tour has been pulling massive crowds and taking over the conversation on socials, but one recent stop proved just how powerful his live performances can be. The Baton Rouge rapper’s show at Crypto.com Arena moved streamer Kai Cenat to tears in front of thousands of fans.
A longtime supporter of YoungBoy, Cenat showed up to the concert while streaming live on Twitch. Surrounded by the packed crowd, he locked in on the 25 year old as he tore through fan favorites like “Black Ball” with Birdman, “All In,” and “Heart & Soul.” When the emotional track “Heart & Soul” rang out, Cenat stood still, eyes watering until a tear slid down his cheek before he joined the audience in singing along. Cameras even caught him sniffling as he soaked in the moment.
The sight quickly went viral, with fans online pointing out how genuine Cenat’s reaction was. Known for his over the top energy on streams, seeing him break down highlighted just how much the rapper’s music resonates with his listeners.
For YoungBoy, the moment hit even harder because this marks his first tour since 2020. After spending time behind bars and then on house arrest, he has continued to flood the game with music but had not been able to connect with his audience in person. Now back onstage, his return is proving to be an emotional experience not just for him, but for the fans who have been waiting years to see him perform live again.
