Streaming culture just gave us the messiest plot twist. DDG applied to Soulja Boy’s Rapper University after Kai Cenat denied him entry into the 2026 roster for Streamer University. Talk about a full circle moment.
DDG was locked in during the first Streamer University last year, but when Cenat announced over 100 accepted streamers, creators, and artists on Monday, DDG’s name was nowhere to be found. The sting was real. He hit X with the caption, “Stream tmmw, im finna drink my pain away”—and honestly, we all felt that.
Here’s where it gets spicy: weeks earlier, DDG was out here mocking Soulja Boy for even launching Rapper University. During a livestream, he went in. “I guarantee you, nobody coming to this s–t, boy,” DDG said. He even told Soulja, “You ain’t had a hit since I was 10,” and questioned what anyone would learn from him anyway.
Fast forward to now, and DDG is trying to slip through that same door he was clowning. The irony? It’s thicker than a streaming culture drama compilation.
The tension between these creators had been building. DDG even promised to jump Soulja Boy if he touched Kai Cenat, saying, “We only know Soulja from Crank That & Adin Ross freestyle.” But rejection has a way of changing perspectives real quick.
Just when things could’ve moved forward, Soulja Boy announced on Wednesday, July 8, that Rapper University was being postponed until further notice due to the high volume of applications. So now we’re all waiting to see if DDG gets his shot or if this becomes another chapter in streaming’s most entertaining beef.
Should Soulja Boy accept DDG’s application? That’s the question everyone’s asking.
