Lil Yachty was recently on Kai Cenat's stream, where the two talked about a lot of different topics, some funnier than others. For example, the Let's Start Here artist complained about Drake's "annoying" toilets that apparently play a Tupac song whenever you open one. However, Lil Boat also took the chance to stroll down memory lane for a second, and remembered when DDG dissed him on the track "Big Boat." Moreover, he also explained that he said he didn't know who the YouTube rap star was (which prompted the diss) because he already knew of a group at his high school that went by the same name.

The record-breaking and award-winning streamer remarked that DDG is the type of person who will really capitalize on a successful endeavor. Not only that, but the "Minnesota" MC agreed, stating that he really respects and likes him as a businessman and hustler. Kai Cenat also asked Yachty how he felt when he saw it, and he said he felt "so confused." Still, they made sure to give credit where credit was due when it came to DDG shaping his brand and feeding his fans.

DDG's "Big Boat" Diss Track

Despite that initial beef, Lil Yachty and DDG would actually go on to release music together. For one, there's the latter's track "Rule #1" produced by OG Parker, which landed on Parker and DDG's collaborative tape, Die 4 Respect. Even though he faced a lot of criticism and came up in quite a clout-chasing-heavy scene, the 25-year-old is still a relevant figure in the Internet world. Whether it's for his collabs with other rappers or his continued (albeit sporadic) success on YouTube, he's always got something cooking.

Back to the stream, though, Lil Yachty and Kai Cenat seemed to have a really good time, even as they talked about toilets. "Every bathroom in [Drake's] house has heated seats,” Yachty revealed. “And every bathroom in his house, when you walk up to the toilet, it opens and starts playing 2Pac’s ‘Hit ‘Em Up.’ I swear to God! Every time it’s like, ‘Yeah, you fat muthaf*cka!’ It’s so annoying when you gotta take a s**t ’cause it keeps looping." Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest on Lil Yachty, DDG, and Kai Cenat and check out the clip below.
