The highly anticipated livestream featuring Drake and Kai Cenat, initially scheduled for June 12th, has been postponed, leaving fans disappointed. The stream was intended to announce the winners of the "Somebody Loves Me" music video treatment challenge, where 20 creators would each receive $15,000 to bring their visions to life.
Kai Cenat took to Instagram to announce the delay, citing the need for more time to review the submissions. "We need more time with the treatments for 'Somebody Who Loves Me,'" Cenat wrote, adding a hopeful "[fingers crossed emoji] Apologies." The winners were supposed to be revealed during the livestream, with Drake and Cenat sharing their favorite and not-so-favorite submissions.
The postponement sparked various reactions online. Some fans referenced Drake's past cancellations, including his Australian tour, while others jokingly blamed Cenat's interaction with Kendrick Lamar at the BET Awards. Another theory suggested that lack of initial fan excitement contributed to the delay.
Originally, the livestream was strategically planned to coincide with Kendrick Lamar's Grand National Tour stop in Toronto. This isn't the first time Drake has scheduled events around Lamar's performances. Previously, a date on Drake's Anita Max Win Australasia Tour overlapped with Lamar's Super Bowl Halftime Show. This latest development adds fuel to the ongoing narrative of the Drake and Kendrick Lamar dynamic.
