During the removal, a security officer made a comment to Lizzo about her age that didn’t land well with the Grammy-winning artist, and she pushed back by asking the officer not to put his hands on her.
The whole interaction escalated quickly as Santana was being removed from the premises.
Kai addressed the controversy directly and explained his reasoning.
He stated: “I just seen Saucy Santana on campus. I communicated with Lizzo’s team and said, ‘This is streaming University event. Unfortunately, I don’t care who it is, how big they are, what’s going on. Please respect the event.’ I communicated that to Lizzo’s team. It was miscommunicated to Lizzo. Lizzo is innocent.”

The streamer made it clear that his security wasn’t trying to be disrespectful; they were simply following the rules that apply to everyone at the event.
However, Kai also acknowledged that the way his security officer handled the situation could’ve been better.
“It’s not what you say it’s how you say and conduct yourself…like you already big as hell and intimidating,” he noted about the officer’s approach.
Kai’s response showed he understood both sides of the equation, recognizing that security protocols matter while also acknowledging that how you enforce those rules matters just as much.
Streamer University 2026 is the second year of the event, which selected only 120 students from over 1 million applicants, making it more selective than most Ivy League schools.
The event features professors like Pokimane, Cinna, and Lizzo herself, along with club directors including T-Pain and Lethal Shooter, creating a high-stakes environment where every detail matters.
Kai’s commitment to maintaining order at his event shows he’s serious about building something legitimate, even if it means having uncomfortable conversations with major artists.
