Fans will have to wait a little bit longer for the anticipated livestream hosted by Drake and Kai Cenat, as Cenat just revealed a postponement. Announced on Wendesday (June 11), Cenat took to social media on hours before Thursday's livestream to share with fans that they need a few more days on the "Somebody Loves Me" treatment.

Kai Cenat x Drake Livestream
Fans immediately took to social media with their remarks about the last-minute postponement. Mentioning previous cancelations by Drake, an X user commented, "Damn got his Australian tour cancelled Now his Stream with Kai got cancelled. Buddy been having a horrible 2 years."
Another fan blamed the postponement on Kai Cenat speaking to Kendrick Lamar at the BET Awards. They wrote: "When kai dapped kendrick and druski stood on business i knew that shit wasn’t happening no mo."
A fan would claim the postponement was a result of the lack in fan excitement after it was announced. "The reaction to his announcement was of pity and laughter," commented the fan. "It didn’t get the explosive excitement he was hoping for. Didn’t stop Kendricks name from floating online. Oh I dance. That show I’ll probably never happen!"
The postponement coincides with Kendrick Lamar's Grand National Tour rolling into Drake's hometown of Toronto, Canada, for a two-night concert. The tour also features co-headliner SZA.
