Overview
The Kai Cenat Kierra Rush Controversy, also known as the Kai Cenat Layla Red Controversy, refers to allegations levied by OnlyFans (OF) model Layla Red Cakes (aka Kierra Rush) in April 2024 against Twitch streamer Kai Cenat, who she said paid $5,000 for intercourse with her which was part of a sum of "hush money" that he never paid in full. Rush levied the allegations on her Instagram account @laylaredcakesss via an Instagram Story that showed alleged Apple Pay receipts and photos of her and Cenat in bed. Then, she added to her claims on her Twitter / X on her account @LaylaRed1. Her TikTok page @laylaredcakes also went viral. Then, Cenat addressed the accusations, aiming to debunk her claim, labeling her a "clout chaser" and saying that he was going to take her to court. Cenat furthered his claims when he made a website compiling videos aimed at debunking Rush.
Background
Kierra Rush, aka Layla Red, started levying her allegations against Kai Cenat on her Instagram and TikTok accounts sometime on or before April 14th, 2024. A since-deleted TikTok video from her account was reposted by X[1] user @IAmLilRico on April 14th. It showed alleged photos of her in bed with Cenat and a text caption that said the streamer didn't pay her all of her "hush money."

Cenat then launched a website called kierrarush.com,[5] which led with the title "Kierra Rush Exposed As A Liar!" and included five clips from his then-recent stream in which he played phone recordings with Rush. Overall, he aimed to prove that Rush was breaking the law by using leaked explicit content of him as "revenge." He also claimed that he only paid for Rush's Uber ride.
Two of Cenat's videos were posted by X[6] user @kirawontmiss on April 14th, 2024, gaining over 2.8 million views and 16,000 likes in a day (shown below).
