In the most hype-inducing announcement of the summer, streaming superstar Kai Cenat has officially confirmed he's going live IRL with none other than LeBron James. Yeah, you read that right.
The king of content meets the King of the Court. Saturday, June 21, is now
officially
a national holiday for the internet. Here's everything we know about the upcoming livestream by Kai Cenat.
Kai x LeBron: The Most Unexpected Crossover of 2025?
On June 19, 2025, Kai took to his stream to casually announce that a real-world livestream with LeBron James is officially happening this Saturday, June 21. And he's not just hyped about it, he's practically levitating. 'This s**t gonna be insane!' he shouted, barely containing the energy that's now got all of Twitch — and beyond — waiting on standby.

The Stream Time is Locked
If you're planning your weekend around this stream (as you should), mark your calendar and set that alarm. Kai confirmed the live will start on June 21, 2025, between 12:30 pm to 1:00 pm ET. Yes, it's early, by streamer standards, at least, but absolutely worth dragging yourself out of bed for.
The Maverick Carter Connection
So, how did this iconic link-up come to life? According to Kai, it all started with a chat with Maverick Carter, LeBron's longtime business partner and the brains behind
The Shop
— LeBron's no-filter barbershop talk show. Apparently, Maverick vouched for Kai, told him LeBron 'f**k with him,' and the rest is Twitch history in the making. Kai made it sound like it just
happened
, but fans know this moment's been building up for years.

Kai's Old Clip Resurfaces

Now that it's
actually
happening, fans are flooding the comments asking: 'Is Flight coming? What about Cash?' While there's been no official confirmation yet, it wouldn't be a Kai stream without some surprises in the mix.
Twitter Is Already Melting
X (formerly Twitter) has exploded with reactions. From fans screaming 'WE WILL BE WATCHING OMG' to memes about LeBron dropping 'a million lies' on stream, the hype is real and
relentless
.
One user joked, 'I guess Drake will be back in August,' a callback to the long-running gag of celebrity stream appearances
Kai Cenat x LeBron James is the stream we didn't know we needed but absolutely deserve. It's not just two celebrities hanging out, it's two icons from different worlds colliding for what's shaping up to be the most-watched 30 minutes in IRL streaming history. Mark your calendars. Charge your phones. Cancel everything. Because it's really gonna be insane.

IND vs ENG: Did Sanjay Manjrekar take a dig at Virat Kohli in commentary? Watch video
File photo of Sanjay Manjrekar and Virat Kohli. Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar seemingly made indirect comments about Virat Kohli during the commentary of the first Test match between India and England at Headingley, Leeds on June 20. The remarks came during the 21st over of India's innings when the team were 77/0, with KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal at the crease. LIVE: India vs England 1st Test Day 1 Manjrekar's comments focused on the batting approach of the Indian openers, particularly their handling of deliveries outside the off-stump. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! While analysing the batting performance, Manjrekar initially praised the discipline shown by the Indian openers. He stressed how they were playing according to the merit of the ball despite the seemingly batting-friendly conditions. How Shubman Gill prepared for the first Test vs England in Leeds | Exclusive from Nets "Many would see this session and would think the pitch is placid. The seam bowlers haven't looked potent, one important reason it is seeing that way is these two have batted well. Potentially wicket-taking, outside the off-stump full and they have been left alone. Jaiswal has done that, anything that has pitched right up into the stump is driven anything that has pitched wide is not disturbed," Manjrekar said. The commentary took a different turn when Brydon Carse bowled a delivery on the sixth stump line to KL Rahul, who left it alone. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

We know of a former batter that would have gone after it and got himself into trouble but not these two," Manjrekar remarked during the live broadcast. The reference appeared to be directed at Kohli , who had recently announced his retirement from Test cricket. The context became clearer considering Kohli's performance during India's previous tour of Australia, where he was dismissed eight out of nine times while attempting to play deliveries pitched on the fifth and sixth stump line. Nick Knight EXCLUSIVE: On Shubman Gill and absence of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma in England The match proceeded with India's opening partnership reaching 91 runs before KL Rahul was dismissed by Brydon Carse for 42 runs off 78 balls. Rahul's dismissal came when he attempted to play a wide delivery outside off-stump, which resulted in an edge carried to Joe Root in the slip cordon. Following Rahul's wicket, debutant Sai Sudharsan was dismissed for a four-ball duck in the next over bowled by Ben Stokes. Sudharsan was caught behind by wicketkeeper Jamie Smith.

Jake Paul confesses early boxing career earned him financial setbacks amid recent $40 million annual income
Jake Paul (via Getty Images) Jake Paul , who is now among the highest-paid identities in the sport of boxing, revealed that his path to multimillion-dollar fight purses didn't begin with overnight fortune. The 28-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer admitted his early boxing years yielded more losses than gains. With an 11-1 professional career and headline-grabbing fights to his credit, Jake Paul insists that his largest paychecks are yet to arrive. Jake Paul shares financial struggles in early boxing days despite huge paychecks today Jake Paul's boxing career is now perhaps equated with spectacle and money, but the social media personality has opened the books on his early financial reality. Appearing on the Iced Coffee Hour podcast, the Pittsburgh-born personality revealed that the first part of his professional career was anything but profitable. "I've roughly been averaging around $40 million a year for the past four years in boxing," Jake Paul shared. "The first year and a half of boxing, I didn't make much. I was definitely at a loss in my first year in boxing." Jake Paul went pro in 2020 after his white-collar fight with Deji Olatunji in 2018. His initial fights were mainly against other influencers and retired MMA competitors, which generated hype but not necessarily riches. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Find Incredible Offers & Incentives On New Or Used Cars In Your Area! autodealsnearyou Learn More Undo It wasn't until he fully embraced his divisive "problem child" image that the dollars began flowing. Paul declared being the villain is not an act—it's a marketing technique. He says his reputation as trouble follows him into the ring because fans watch him, frequently hoping to witness him lose. That fame has paid off with huge profit, including a reported $40 million paycheck for his last bout against Mike Tyson. Jake Paul Breaks Silence on Getting Sued, Going Broke, & Making $40,000,000 Per Year "I think everything worked out perfectly," he added. "If I didn't have my YouTube persona and following, with everyone doubting I could become a boxer and everyone hating me, I don't think I would be making as much. In boxing, the villain makes more, and that is why I purposefully make people hate me and play that role and be the bad guy. Paul's next in line is a high-profile battle against ex-WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. next weekend. While some forecast danger for Paul, others, such as ex-world champion Shawn Porter, anticipate a knockout victory for the YouTuber. As Paul gets ready for another high-paying fight, one thing is certain—his fighting for no cost is long behind him. And if his statement is anything to go by, he feels his most profitable years in the sport are ahead.
