One Instagram user mentioned that Kai " said 'Don't leak.' They met and cooking up something." . This suggests that Kirk Franklin will appear on an upcoming Kai Cenat stream.



Watch the exchange below:


It looked like a family reunion when Kai Cenat and Tylil spotted Kirk Franklin on the red carpet. Kai left his interview to greet Kirk, who was honored with the BET Ultimate Icon Award, but seemingly returned to the journalist after the encounter.


In the video, it appeared as though the journalist didn't want Kai to leave, but instead wanted to bring Kirk over to their interview to avoid cutting her conversation with Kai short, and possibly for her capture the viral moment on her footage. @dereckthediplomat on Instagram stated that it "could've been the interview of her life."


Although the iconic exchange took place out of her camera's view, the journalist still made a significant contribution to the moment. Her hesitancy to let Kai leave encouraged him to express his excitement to speak with Kirk Franklin more adamantly, which added to the relatability of the clip.



Kirk shared a warm embrace with both Kai and Tylil, stating that he was proud of them. It was a full-circle moment after the creators sang his 2005 hit "Looking For You" on a previous livestream with more than 150,000 viewers watching at one time.
