Memphis rapper Finesse2Tymes has entered the fray for the upcoming edition of Kai Cenat’s Streamer University, submitting a raw, chaotic application video that quickly went viral across social media platforms on Tuesday (June 9).
In the brief clip, filmed while at the airport, Finesse2Tymes (born Ricky Hampton) appears dressed casually but noticeably iced out in a red shirt and heavy chains, including a prominent hand pendant. Looking directly into the camera with his signature laid-back yet energetic delivery, he says, “Aye say Kay Sinnett… Let me in that motherfuckin’ Screamin’ University, buddy. I’m tryna turn up for the summer.”
The Memphis artist repeatedly refers to the program as “Screaming University” instead of Streamer University and butchers Cenat’s name multiple times throughout the roughly 30-second unpolished submission, calling him variations of “Kay Sinnett,” “Kay Cenat,” and “Case of Net.” The casual “buddy” interjections and airport backdrop only add to the video’s authentic, on-the-go charm.
Finesse2Tymes’ submission comes as applications pour in for Streamer University 2026, which Cenat announced earlier this week. The program, a follow-up to previous successful editions, brings together selected creators, streamers, and influencers for a period of collaborative content creation, challenges, streams, and mentorship. Participants who are accepted receive free accommodations and meals, with applications submitted via streameruniversity.com, often through creative video entries.
Other notable figures who have reportedly submitted applications include NFL player Tony Jefferson, Chrisean Rock, and the duo Ayo & Teo, signaling the event’s growing crossover appeal beyond traditional streaming circles.
The clip has been widely shared and reposted by hip-hop media outlets and fan accounts, sparking a wave of memes centered on Finesse2Tymes’ mispronunciations and his effortless entertainment value. Reactions online range from amusement at the unscripted energy to speculation about whether Kai Cenat will accept the rapper’s application — and what kind of content such a pairing might produce.
Finesse2Tymes has built a reputation for his raw Memphis rap style and unpredictable persona, previously breaking through on the Billboard Hot 100 with tracks like “Back End.” His foray into Streamer University territory represents another example of hip-hop artists bridging into streaming and creator culture, following in the footsteps of numerous rappers who have previously collaborated with Cenat on his streams.
As of Wednesday (June 10), there has been no official response from Cenat regarding Finesse2Tymes’ application, though the streamer has a history of reviewing submissions publicly during broadcasts or in group chats. Finesse2Tymes also acknowledged the video on his Instagram account (@1finesse2tymes).
With the application period in full swing, more unconventional submissions are expected in the lead-up to the 2026 edition of the event, which continues to generate significant buzz in both creator and music communities.
