What Is "Dance If You Gay, Bruce?"

On November 14th, 2022, Kai Cenat hopped on Twitch to stream with YourRage and BruceDropEmOff for a "boys night." During the stream, the three men dressed up as stereotypical nerds.

Bruce was feeling it and danced along until Cenat started to repeat the line, "dance if you gay, Bruce," causing him to stop dancing with a smile on his face.

Since the video went viral on TikTok, its original sound by @zayloe999 has blown up, gaining over 95,000 uses in under a month.
