Drake showed love to everyone who attended the commencement ceremony for Streamer Kai Senate University yesterday (July 15).
Chenath spoke to invitees during the meeting and announced that he had received a message from a Toronto rapper.
“2026, another year ago,” Drake said in a video message. “Congratulations to everyone who was accepted – all the new authors, all the veteran authors. I hope you guys make the most of this opportunity. I hope you learn something. I hope you can teach each other something.”
Drake added that his OVO team provided gifts for this year’s participants, who will remain at Hendrix College in Conway, Arkansas, until July 20. “And on behalf of us at OVO, I left you some… well, actually I left you a few things in your room to make your stay even easier,” Drake told the excited streamers. “So say hi to Kai, Streamer University 2026. Enjoy.”

This is the second year of the innovative streaming training course. The streamer’s first university, located at the University of Akron in Ohio, won the 2025 Streamer Awards for “Best Broadcast” and has amassed over 20 million hours watched on Twitch.
During a broadcast last June, Senate revealed that he had to go to court to own the name and intellectual property of Streamer University to ensure that no one could steal or remake the idea in its current version. “For Streamer University, the idea was so big that I had to go to court to take over the idea and the name and make it my own because it was influencing a lot of people to just redo it, redo it, redo it,” he said in a 2025 chat. “But we had to protect her, and we had to make this shit special. Streamer University, have full ownership. The name itself, have full ownership.”
