About

Rakai Saying, "You Good Mud?" refers to memes and jokes inspired by Twitch streamer and friend of Kai Cenat, Rakai, asking his cameraman, "You good mud?" during a July 2025 stream. The term "mud" or "muddy" is New York City slang for friend, and is used similarly to blud. In the extended clip, the young Twitch streamer dressed in a black blazer and bicycle helmet recounts how he was ambushed by 10 security guards with paintball guns who attacked him and his cameraman, stating, "They got ten security guards for me? […] I'm petite, I'm small, gang. […] They got 10 security guards at the gate, for meee. And then they got […] in the walls with paintball guns, and they just shot my cameraman." The clip inspired memes and remixes on TikTok soon after it began making the rounds in early July 2025.
