A video of American online streamer and YouTuber Kai Cenat in Nigeria surfaced online on Saturday, Mar 9. Cenat, known for his entertaining live streams and comedic content on YouTube, recently made headlines for his spontaneous decision to visit Nigeria shortly after being inspired by Burna Boy’s music. He also plans to visit Ghana right after Nigeria.
Upon landing in Nigeria, Cenat shared his excitement on Instagram, posting a warm “Welcome to Nigeria.” Cenat was given a big welcome by Nigerian actor and comedian, Adesokan Emmanuel, popularly known as Shanks Comics as he arrived in Nigeria. The YouTuber was welcomed by a crowd with drummers and singers surrounding him. Cenat was also spotted indulging in Amala and Ewedu, a traditional Southwest Nigerian dish. Nigerians on social media expressed their excitement, with comments like “He deserves a Nigerian name truly.”
Cenat had previously found himself at the center of attention when former NFL player Shannon Sharpe mocked his height. Responding passionately on his livestream, Cenat defended himself while wearing the Super Eagles of Nigeria jersey, which quickly went viral on social media.
To address the controversy, Cenat entered Sharpe’s domain on his “Nightcap” show. Despite claims of being 5’9″, Cenat and Sharpe engaged in a lively discussion, with Sharpe emphasizing that Brown’s decision-making concerned him more than Cenat’s height.
The Super Eagles jersey worn by Cenat gained widespread attention, specifically the number four jersey representing Nigerian football legend Nwankwo Kanu.
