Dezz claims Kai Cenat has stopped speaking to the Clover Boys, accusing his longtime friend of cutting off members of the streaming collective and revealing that his relationship with Kai’s sister, Kaiya Cenat, has also deteriorated.

Speaking during a livestream, Dezz made his frustration clear. “Kai don’t speak to none of us gang,” he said. He did not specify which members had attempted to reach Kai, when communication allegedly ended, or whether every member was experiencing the same distance.“He just started [expletive], act like he like [expletive],” he yelled.
Dezz then brought Kaiya into the conversation, claiming she had stopped communicating with him because of an issue involving her brother.
“Kaiya stopped talkin’ to me ’cause she mad that her brother did some lame [expletive] facts,” he said, without explaining what he believed Kai had done. Neither Kai nor Kaiya has publicly confirmed Dezz’s account of those conversations.
“And I still love them but until ya’ll show me love the same way I show ya’ll love, I don’t give a [expletive],” he added.

For Dezz, the situation goes back much further than the latest livestream. Kai and Dezz knew each other before the Clover Boys became a recognizable name in streaming. In a September 2026 interview with WIRED, Kai recalled meeting Dezz in college and credited him with helping produce his early videos. Their friendship began while Kai was still building his online career.
Dezz later became part of the Clover Boys, a collective of creators associated with Kai that also included familiar faces such as Tylil, Punga, RaKai, Ray and Reggie. Their collaborations brought the group’s friendships, jokes, and occasional disagreements to audiences watching Kai’s streams.
The relationship was not always smooth. During Kai’s Mafiathon 3 in September 2025, Dezz and RaKai got into a heated on-stream confrontation. Dezz used a homophobic slur, RaKai responded with a threat involving money, and Kai cleared the room and ended that segment. The incident became an early public example of tensions inside the circle.
By March 2026, however, Dezz was still publicly representing the collective. He participated in Clover Fest, the group’s Albany event featuring performances by Meek Mill, JT and other artists. He also spoke enthusiastically about bringing music and streaming audiences together.
The fractures grew more visible in September 2026, when Reggie announced he was distancing himself from the Clover Boys. He accused Kai of sidelining him and questioned why Kai had not forgiven Dezz, although he did not establish the precise reason for their dispute.
Kai pushed back against claims that he had failed to support the group. During an October livestream, he said he had invested $3.7 million into the Clover Boys, a figure he presented as his own accounting of the money spent.
Other members also began discussing the collective’s future. Ray announced his departure in October, while Dezz publicly challenged suggestions that someone else could declare the Clover Boys finished. Kai subsequently streamed with Ray in Japan, so the claim that he has cut contact with absolutely everyone connected to the group remains unconfirmed.
Dezz’s latest remarks suggest that, at least from his perspective, the friendship that existed before the fame has become strained. He says the love is still there, but he wants that loyalty returned. Exactly what caused the alleged distance between Dezz, Kai, and Kaiya remains unclear.
