Overview

  • Kai Cenat met with Mayor Eric Adams in a video released June 23 to plan a lawfully permitted, large-scale giveaway in New York City.
  • Adams recommended that Cenat navigate official permit channels and coordinate with law enforcement after citing last month’s Times Square boxing match as a model for crowd control.
  • Cenat settled his 2023 charges by paying over $57,000 in restitution and issuing a public apology, leading to dropped counts of inciting a riot and promoting an unlawful gathering.
  • His August 2023 Union Square giveaway spiraled into chaos when attendees broke windows, climbed on buses and set off fire extinguishers, triggering at least 65 arrests and four hospitalizations.
  • Cenat also asked Adams to address the NYPD’s treatment of fellow streamer Roberto “Fanum” Gonzalez after his car was seized at the 2024 Dominican Day Parade.
