Kai Cenat Taken Into Police Custody Following NYC Appearance

Kai Cenat is currently facing multiple charges following a chaotic incident that occurred during a promoted giveaway on Twitch in New York City. The charges against Cenat reportedly include at least two counts of inciting a riot and unlawful assembly, in addition to a few other charges.

NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey stated during a press conference that the event was not authorized or sanctioned by the police. The incident seems to have led to serious disruptions and public safety concerns, prompting law enforcement to take action and press charges against those involved, including Cenat.

“Our Entertainment Unit, I think we have to reach out to some of our influencers and ask them to be responsible with this, to help us with this,” Maddrey said. “If we knew about this, we could’ve had the barriers out here, we could’ve had police officers out here, we could’ve did this orderly, they could’ve gave whatever gifts they had for the young people away. I encourage this. We want our young people to come to events like this. It just can’t be, hey, this is what we’re doing, it’s a free-for-all. We see this is the outcome, and we cannot have these outcomes.”
