Kai Cenat Retaliates Against Joe Budden After Being Named in Drake Diss

Renowned streamer and influencer, Kai Cenat, has found himself embroiled in a feud between hip-hop heavyweights, Joe Budden and Drake. Cenat, who boasts millions of followers across his platforms, has become an unexpected participant in the ongoing dispute following Budden’s critique of Drake’s latest album, For All The Dogs.

Budden, known for his outspoken nature, didn’t hold back in his assessment of the album, criticizing Drake for what he perceived as immature rapping and singing. He also took aim at Drake’s association with younger influencers like Cenat, suggesting that the Canadian rapper should not be “associating with kids.”

Budden did not explicitly critique Cenat, but his comments piqued interest as to whether the well-known streamer would react. As expected, Cenat did respond. He confronted Budden’s statements directly on Monday night.

In a candid response, Cenat expressed his frustration at being dragged into the feud. “I be minding my motherf*cking business my n****,” he said. “And somehow, I always catch a f*cking stray.” Cenat went on to reference previous instances where he felt unfairly targeted, including a situation involving NBA player Zion Williamson.

Cenat’s response highlights the challenges faced by influencers who find themselves caught in the crossfire of celebrity feuds. Despite his frustration, Cenat remains focused on his own career and continues to be a voice for the youth.

With Joe Budden set to release new podcast episodes this week, it remains to be seen whether he will respond to Cenat’s comments. Stay tuned to Honk for the latest updates from the music world and let us know your thoughts on Cenat’s response in the comments section below.

Una Lengua Infinita releases gentle string quartet piece on “Bajo un cielo cuadrado”

Una Lengua Infinita is back with a new single, “Bajo un cielo cuadrado,” that is both quiet and captivating. It is a neoclassical piece for string quartet that takes listeners to a place where music and memory can coexist. The piece is based on Mohammed Serifi-Villar’s autobiographical book about Morocco’s Years of Lead.

The whole piece has a strong sense of light. The string quartet points to a deeper, more personal experience that feels spiritual, close, and deeply human. It’s a subtle yet powerful artistic choice that lets the emotional weight emerge on its own rather than pushing it to the surface.

“Bajo un cielo cuadrado” is also a conversation between different types of art. It stands on its own, but you can tell that it is part of a bigger story that you can only fully understand by reading Serifi-Villar’s book. This connection between music and literature makes things even more interesting, encouraging listeners to engage with more than just the sound.
