On Thursday (Sept. 18), Mike Epps joined Kai Cenat on his livestream and spent time having fun and sharing life stories. However, it was one specific story that had Cenat and his stream cracking up as Epps shared the time he went as far as to hire a private investigator to confront a hater on his Instagram.

“When I first got on Instagram, one motherf***** get on there and said, “F*ck you b*tch a** n****. You ain’t s*** or say some personal s***.”

The comedian then admitted to hiring a private investigator to find out where his anonymous hater was from, but to Epps’ surprise, the troll turned out to be a 12-year-old White boy from Pennsylvania.

“I thought it was a n**** from Philly,” the comedian added as Kai Cenat fell onto the floor with laughter.

The comments on the stream overflowed with laughing emojis and folks on had folks on X trying to imagine the situation.

“Imagine paying a P.I. thousands just to find out you’re beefing with someone who hasn’t even hit puberty yet,” wrote one user on X.

“That’s hilarious. Mike Epps was like F*** around and find out,” added another.

However, the funny story also had folks shaking their heads and saying it was proof you can’t take people on the internet seriously.

“This shows you cannot take the internet seriously at all,” another user responded in the comments.

The incident was resolved by the boy’s mom sending Epps a letter of apology on her son’s behalf, but it still left the comedian baffled as to how the 12-year-old knew just how to agitate him.

“It was a 12-year-old white boy in Pennsylvania that had me f***** up, bro… but the motherf***** knew how to talk to me like a n**** in the streets.”
