AceShowbiz - Soulja Boy tried to attend Kai Cenat’s Streamer University audition event in Atlanta on June 17, 2024, but was denied entry due to not having an invitation.

Security personnel stopped Soulja Boy at the venue, communicating via walkie-talkie that he was not allowed inside. After being refused entry, he left the event without any further confrontation. The Streamer University auditions themselves were cut short because of safety concerns stemming from a large crowd gathering at the location.

On his own Instagram, Soulja Boy expressed frustration over being excluded from Streamer University, accusing Kai Cenat of favoritism and personal dislike. He publicly demanded an invitation to the program and warned that if he remained excluded—especially while Cenat continues collaborating with rapper-streamer DDG—it would cause tension between them. In response, Soulja Boy launched his own competing initiative called Rapper University, aimed at teaching aspiring lyricists and musicians, with plans to stream the event live on Twitch and hold it in Atlanta.

Soulja Boy first rose to fame with his 2007 hit single "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" and has since built a career as a rapper with multiple award nominations and film appearances including roles in "Malice N Wonderland" and Officer Down. His move to create Rapper University follows his long-standing presence in hip-hop and digital culture, now intersecting with the growing streaming community fostered by Kai Cenat.

This clash highlights the expanding influence of online creator communities and how established artists like Soulja Boy are seeking to stake their claim in new digital education spaces. The rivalry underscores the competitive nature of content creator networks and the importance of inclusion and collaboration in these emerging platforms.
