Kai says the events were not acceptable, but have put into perspective for him just how much power and influence he has over his community. \u201cI am beyond disappointed with anyone who became destructive that day,\u201d Kai said in his Twitch stream on Aug. 9. \u201cThat shit is not cool, I want people to know that.\u201d In Union Square, New York last Friday, Kai promised his fans a \u201chuge giveaway\u201d which saw thousands show up to get their chance at scoring a free PlayStation 5. Chaos soon broke out, resulting in the destruction of property. One specific video showed a Kai Cenat fan jumping on the roof of a car before smashing the windscreen. The streamer did not address the footage directly but touched on it briefly in his livestream: \u201cI don\u2019t condone anything that went on that day. I\u2019m seeing random videos of people getting sturdy on people\u2019s cars and I\u2019m asking myself, why? Why?\u201d \u201cWhen we do things like this it not only needs to be safe, but it needs to be fun. We can\u2019t just be running around destroying [things]. None of that is how I wanted any of this to go, I had straight good intentions and I didn\u2019t think it was going to be what it was.\u201d Related: Kai Cenat taken into custody after PS5 giveaway in NYC causes riot As a result of the gathering, which required heavy police intervention, Kai was charged with two counts of inciting a riot and unlawful assembly. Kai says he will be streaming less in the near future and is due to appear in court on Aug. 16.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Kai-Cenat-explains-New-York.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/929330"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1837"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=929330"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/929330\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":929354,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/929330\/revisions\/929354"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/929338"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=929330"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=929330"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=929330"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=929330"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=929330"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=929330"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=929330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
