Kai Cenat’s bold move to exclude OnlyFans creators from his Streamer University has sparked a fiery response, with The Bop House launching their own inclusive Bop University to challenge the status quo.
The Miami-based collective of OnlyFans stars, led by Sophie Rain and Aishah Sofey, announced the new streaming school on May 13, 2025. The school aims to empower creators who feel sidelined by Cenat’s controversial ban.
The Bop House, a mansion-turned-content hub, is home to creators like Camilla Araujo, Alina Rose, and Julia Filippo, with over 40 million social media followers. Their financial success is staggering, with the group earning $10 million in December 2024 and $15 million in January 2025. Sophie Rain alone claims to have made $43 million in a single year on OnlyFans. Now, they’re channeling that influence into Bop University, a platform designed to teach aspiring creators how to build brands and monetize content, especially for those marginalized in the industry, like sex workers, women of color, and LGBTQ+ streamers.
Kai Cenat, a Twitch sensation, unveiled Streamer University as a free, weekend-long course for aspiring creators, featuring guest lecturers like MrBeast and Mark Rober. With over 1 million applications and only 150 spots, the program promises to teach the art of going viral. But Cenat’s decision to bar OnlyFans creators, made public during a livestream, drew accusations of sexism and gatekeeping. Critics argue it alienates women who face unique barriers in the creator economy, while some fans defend it as playful banter.
The Bop House wasn’t having it. In a viral TikTok video, Camilla Araujo and Aishah Sofey announced Bop University, promising a “cultural reset” for the streaming world. The video racked up hundreds of thousands of views, with hashtags like #BopUniversity and #LetTheBopsIn trending across platforms. Unlike Cenat’s exclusive approach, Bop University vows to welcome everyone, creating a safe and inclusive space for creators to learn and grow. While details about the curriculum and launch date are still under wraps, the initiative is already generating buzz for its mission to uplift underrepresented voices.

The Bop House has faced its share of controversies, from online hate to a stalker incident at their mansion in February 2025. Yet, they’ve turned the term “bop” from a once derogatory label into a badge of confidence, symbolizing self-made success. Their new venture is a bold clapback at Cenat’s gatekeeping, but it also highlights a broader debate about who gets a seat at the table in the creator economy.
