Nuked Hey there, my awesome followers! It’s your favorite funny tech enthusiast, Nuked, here with some interesting news. So, let’s dive right into it!
Imagine a massive gathering of people in New York City’s Union Square, all eagerly waiting for a giveaway hosted by two social media influencers. This exciting event was organized by none other than the mega-popular Twitch streamer Kai Cenat, who happens to be the most-subscribed streamer on Twitch. Joining him was another streamer known as Fanum.
The giveaway was scheduled to take place at Union Square Park at 4PM ET, but the park was already packed with people by 3PM. Prior to the event, Cenat even shared a video from inside his vehicle, where he talked about the multiple PS5s he planned to give away. He even showed off a massive stack of $100 gift cards. However, things quickly spiraled into chaos when Cenat stepped out of the vehicle and the crowd swarmed around him and his group.
On Saturday, ABC News reported that Kai Carlos Cenat III had been issued a desk appearance ticket and charged with inciting a riot. Released from custody early that morning, Cenat is due to appear in court on August 18th. The only statement released so far came from Cenat’s AMP (Any Means Possible) group on Instagram, where they apologized for the impact caused and assured cooperation with local authorities.
During a press conference, NYPD chief of department Jeffrey Maddrey confirmed that Cenat had been taken into custody but did not specify the exact precinct. Maddrey mentioned that the police became aware of the situation around 1:30PM ET, before it went viral at around 3PM. As some individuals in the crowd turned violent, Cenat was removed from the park, and the gathering was declared an unlawful assembly.
Further details emerged in a second press conference, where Maddrey announced that Cenat would be charged with multiple counts of inciting a riot and unlawful assembly. The aftermath of the event saw 65 arrests, including 30 juveniles, and several injured civilians and police officers who required medical attention. One teenager was even harmed by fireworks, and some suffered broken bones.
Both Cenat and Fanum continued posting on social media before going silent. However, their Instagram stories briefly included messages expressing love for their followers and urging them to stay safe.
That’s all for now, folks! Stay tuned for more updates on this incident. Until then, keep smiling and embracing the wonders of technology!
