Kayfabe is not rap culture but wrestler culture. For anyone who doesn't know what it's mean, is the make believe world that artists and fans pretend is true to keep the drama going on.

Right, so kayfabe is like…"don't break the masquerade"?

Basically, it means you stay in character at all times. If you're being enemies with someone at the time, you can't be seen being nice to them, ever, even if you're all just colleagues and the fight is for ratings.

Until you go too far and spit on a little girl's face.

Not just that, but don't acknowledge that it is a masquerade. Wrestling is "real" in that the performers and fans act like it is, even though everyone knows it isn't.
