Zoe Spencer says she’s applying for Streamer University 2, a year after she missed out on the inaugural class and publicly felt like an outcast. Her move ignited heavy debate online, while Kai Cenat continues preparing tryouts for the next edition in New York,
Zoe Spencer didn’t wait long to make her next move public.
During a recent TikTok livestream, the content creator revealed she plans to apply for Streamer University 2 after not making the program’s first class. The announcement landed fast, and the comments followed just as quickly—half cheering her on, half questioning why she’d try again.
A year earlier, Zoe spoke out about missing out on the inaugural Streamer University class. She described feeling like an outcast and later shared her disappointment that several of her peers landed spots in the program. That history gave her latest livestream a sharper edge. and it quickly pulled in wider attention on social media. especially after Kai Cenat stepped in to address the chatter.
Kai Cenat responded during a livestream, clarifying where he and Zoe stood amid speculation about her absence from Streamer University. Even as the situation stayed personal, the public discussion didn’t. The shade in some corners of the internet was immediate—and it didn’t bother to hide it.
In Instagram comment threads, @kendrickthomasjr wrote, “😭 bro any person that gets posted on the shaderoom teens shouldn’t be applying for SU!” @karessgotfans added, “Watch he let her in this time cause he not w that girl no more 😂” and @tsx2__ said, “I literally wouldn’t have applied again.”
Not everyone was aiming at her. @kssimonee wrote. “Hoping she gets in this time 🙏🏽😌” while @e_lexussss said. “It should solely be for upcoming streamers.” Others weighed in with theories instead of judgments—@misseniacoded wrote. “I don’t believe they didn’t want her in. It might’ve was because Kai had a gf so he made an expectation for her and denied Zoe 🤷🏽♀️ but again this is just a thought…”—and @tsx2__ echoed the bluntness of her choice by making it clear she would not return to the process.
The pushback kept coming. @lobaab7 wrote. “She still begging for it after she was embarrassed. she needs to do more to be on the top instead of being at streamer uni. we know he won’t accept her.” @brax.dumpin told Zoe. “Don’t ask twice Zoe!!!” and @_therealarion argued. “After Zoey went to that internet she woulda never been even considered or been a second thought. She too internet.”.
While fans debated whether Zoe should try again, Kai Cenat was also moving the next chapter forward. Zoe’s announcement arrived as Kai continued preparing for the second edition of Streamer University.
Earlier this week, Kai revealed that he would host in-person application events in New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. On Friday. June 12. he kicked off the New York tryouts. where aspiring creators gathered to showcase their personalities. creativity. and content skills for a chance to earn a spot in the upcoming class.
Several familiar faces showed up as well, including members of Kai’s own family. His siblings tried out for Streamer University, sparking a viral moment online when they jokingly threatened to call their mother if they weren’t accepted into the program.
The timing made Zoe’s livestream land even harder: as the tryouts began in New York, her name returned to the conversation with a simple statement—she’s applying for Streamer University 2.
And now the question isn’t just whether she’ll make it in. It’s whether the second attempt turns the earlier rejection story into something new—or becomes another page fans keep fighting over.
