Kai Cenat Shocks Fans After Announcing Split From Gabrielle 'Gigi' Alayah, She ReactsDJ Akademiks Addresses Viral Post Linking Him To Kai Cenat & Gabrielle AlayahBack in December 2025, a tweet surfaced online claiming that Kai Cenat's girlfriend at the time, Gabrielle 'Gigi,' Alayah was allegedly messing around with NBA YoungBoy. The tweet read, "There are some rumors going around that Kai Cenat's girlfriend Gigi is cheating on him with NBA YoungBoy via DJ Akademiks on his live stream."Following the rumors and Kai announcing their breakup a few days later, DJ Akademiks went live to clear the air after his name was thrown in the mix. "I ain't say this sh*t. This is fake. I never made this up. I don't know what page this is. They just created this. They do this from time to time. They know I'm the news guy. I'm like TMZ in certain circles, so they're gonna say this is the source."He continued by addressing his reputation and standing firm on his stance. "And by the way, the people also playing with my reputation, Akademiks don't lie about nothing, because if I said that, I would stand on it, and if y'all question me, I'll show proof. But I ain't said that, because I don't know what's going on. Ever since then, I've tried to do some due diligence. But it's not for me to speak on. I don't give a f***. I'm just here to clear my name."Akademiks later stepped into The Shade Room Teens comments with another message. "This time I don't know what's going on. Pray for Black love though. They our version of Barack and Michelle." DJ Akademiks Alleges NBA YoungBoy Reached Out To Kai Cenat To Set The Record Straight Now, here we are in 2026, and it appears the tea is still brewing. Akademiks recently returned to his stream, claiming that when the rumors first surfaced, he personally reached out to Kai Cenat but never received a response.
He also alleged that NBA YoungBoy attempted to contact Kai to set the record straight, reportedly telling him he never messed with Gigi. According to Akademiks, those attempts also allegedly went unanswered.
Coming to YoungBoy's defense, Akademiks said, "That's not his character. He don't want to mess with a streamer's girlfriend just to say he did it. He didn't do it. He tried to reach out to you personally, my brother. He felt like that conversation was turned down."He continued, explaining that Kai's fan base ran with the rumor, adding, "You gotta realize, you got a fan base who's kind of feeling like he did something. That's the same reason I reached out to you." Akademiks went on to express that Kai should publicly clear both his and YoungBoy's names instead of letting the rumors linger. He also alleged that YoungBoy felt a way about the situation, believing the silence allowed false narratives to continue spreading. Social Media Weighs InFolks on the net gathered under The Shade Room Teens reacting to Akademiks' latest stream about Kai Cenat allegedly ignoring NBA YoungBoy's call. Some of Kai's supporters argued the streamer doesn't owe anyone an explanation. Others disagreed and felt that stance ignored the bigger issue. Many said it was unfair for Kai's fans to bully Gigi, citing his past mental health advocacy. Meanwhile, others questioned whether NBA YoungBoy actually reached out at all. Some defended YoungBoy, saying it would be rude if Kai truly ignored his attempt to clear rumors.
