Rappers Offset, DDG, and NLE Choppa Support Kai Cenat Following NYC ‘Riot’ Arrest

Screen Shot 2023 08 06 at 8.25.35 AM

This weekend, Kai Cenat was arrested in New York City during a Playstation 5 giveaway. The social media promoted giveback drew thousands of raving fans looking to connect with the popular streamer. This morning, BBC News reported that the New York City Police Department plans to charge Cenat with multiple counts of inciting a riot and unlawful assembly.

The event was described as an episode, which began shortly after 3 p.m. and was effectively over by 6 p.m., resulted in 65 arrests (nearly half of them of juveniles); injuries to officers and some of those in the crowd; and damage to food carts, police vehicles, and stores, officials said.

NYPD also claimed that Cenat had no permit to do the giveaway and declared the event a “Level four” mobilization, meaning approximately 1,000 officers were deployed to the scene. The famous Twitch star is out of custody and will await updates on his charges in the following weeks.

Following Cenat’s arrest, multiple rappers supported him on social media. NLE Choppa said, “Y’all don’t even charge the KKK When they do that negative shit but charge a successful black man for giving back. The system so designed for us to fail it doesn’t make sense”! He followed his initial post by saying, “I ain’t saying what he did what’s done correctly, course, it’s something he could’ve done better, but his intentions were pure that’s all that matter, he wanted to help, give back, inspire, and most importantly spread love.”

Offset also posted on social media asserting, “How you lock Kai up for giving back to his fans….New York be tripping”! Shortly after, DDG tweeted, “Free them AMP boys.” Cenat’s team has yet to comment following the arrest.

Offset And NLE Choppa Side With Kai Cenat Amid Giveaway Fallout

Yesterday (August 4), it was reported that Twitch streamer Kai Cenat was taken into police custody after a fan event took a turn for the worst. He had told followers he would be doing a “huge giveaway” in NYC, gifting fans PS5s and other gaming accessories. Massive crowd of people, estimated to be in the thousands, showed up for the giveaway. Things took a hard left, however, when the fans began fighting with each other, throwing things at police, climbing on vehicles, and more. The situation caused a major disturbance in the area, blocking off streets and creating traffic delays.

It was unclear at the time whether or not Cenat would be facing charges after being taken into custody. It was then revealed today during a press conference that the NYPD will be pressing charges against him. He’ll be charged with at least two counts of inciting a riot and unlawful assembly, on top of “a few other charges.”

Kai Cenat’s Giveaway Gone Wrong

The incident has now sparked a bit of a debate on social media. Users are going back and forth as to whether or not Cenat deserves to be charged. Some feel as though the chaos could have been avoided with proper planning. Others think the streamer was only trying to give back through the giveaway. A couple of notable artists have weighed in as of late, NLE Choppa and Offset. Both rappers appear to be siding with Cenat, sharing their thoughts on social media.

Offset took to Twitter yesterday, writing, “How you lock Kai up for giving back to his fans…. New York be trippin!!!” NLE Choppa shared a similar sentiment in his comments on the matter. “Y’all don’t even charge the KKK When they do that negative sh*t but charge a successful black man for giving back. The system so designed for us to fail it don’t make sense !” he says. The artist later went on to write, “Ian saying what he did what’s done correctly of course it’s something he could’ve done better but his intentions were pure that’s all that matter, he wanted to help, give back, inspire, and most importantly spread love.”

Kai Cenat Released From Jail, NYPD Will Press Charges For Chaotic Giveaway Event

When you’re famous purely for your online presence, it can be very hard to estimate how many people will actually go to see you in person. However, when you’re as famous for your online presence as Kai Cenat, you have to know that such a number is only going to keep rising. Moreover, the streamer recently held a giveaway of video game consoles and other items in Union Square in New York City, and it was chaotic to say the least. Multiple arrests, heavy police presence, and a few injuries and disruptive scenes led to the New York Police Department taking Cenat into custody. While they released him shortly after, NYPD officials also spoke to the press about the incident.

Furthermore, they confirmed that they would indeed press charges against the influencer. These include at least two counts of inciting a riot and unlawful assembly, “and a few other charges.” Since it’s still vague as of writing this article, it’s unclear whether these charges are based on permit law, the event’s organization, or on injuries that attendees may have sustained. Of course, this is far from the first time something like this has happened, but perhaps this particular instance is one they want to make Kai Cenat an example out of.

Kai Cenat Will Face Charges From NYPD, They State

On that final note, that can seem unfair in a city where everything’s happening all the time and large gatherings like these are frequent. Still, from what footage from the incident shows, it certainly wasn’t all pretty. In addition, the NYPD claimed that Kai Cenat didn’t have a permit for this giveaway and failed to alert law enforcement of it or hash out a pre-plan with them. Reports estimated that thousands of people showed up, and it’s practically impossible to make sure that they’re all on the same wavelength.

The Twitch Giant Released From Prison

Meanwhile, as the 21-year-old’s career grows and grows, this is an important part of his fame that he must consider. In-person events are hard to gauge for streamers, especially in such a crowded city as is the Big Apple. Regardless, hopefully he can resolve this quickly and address fan safety and proper planning. For more news and the latest updates on Kai Cenat, come back to HNHH.

Kai Cenat Giveaway Goes South: Streamer Taken Into Police Custody

A massive crowd came out today for Twitch streamer Kai Cenat’s “huge giveaway.” According to reports, Cenat was planning on giving out different gaming items to fans like PS5s, gift cards, and more. A “couple thousand people” are estimated to have shown up to Union Square for the giveaway, resulting in pandemonium. The crowd ended up blocking off multiple streets, stopping cars and creating quite the disturbance in the area. Fans arrived early, having taken over the neighborhood about an hour before the event was scheduled.

Apparently, things took a turn for the worst when fans began throwing garbage and other items at police, climbing onto vehicles, and even getting aggressive with each other. Clips have now surfaced showing attendees getting into fights, twerking on light poles, walking on top of UPS trucks, and more. Reportedly, Kai Cenat has even now been taken into police custody as a result of the chaos.

Kai Cenat Sparks Chaos With NYC Giveaway

It’s unclear whether or not the streamer was arrested or detained. A clip shows him looking pretty upset as he’s plucked out of the crowd by police. He’s then seen being walked by officers over to a police vehicle and getting inside. Him and his personal security also appeared to have somewhat of a heated exchange with law enforcement. “Numerous” people in the crowd were arrested, according to NBC 4. Fans aren’t sure if Cenat remains in police custody, as he’s since posted on his Instagram Story.

Another clip of what appears to be the vehicle Cenat was traveling in shows various fans clinging onto it as it drives off. No serious injuries have been reported at the time of writing. As expected, social media is having a field day with the recent reports. Some Twitter users insist that it’s not the streamer’s fault that the giveaway got out of hand. Others suggest that he knows his reach, and with proper planning, probably could have avoided the fiasco.

Adam 22 Explains The Basics Of Sex Work To Kai Cenat

To catch you up on the Lena the Plug “drama”, the OnlyFans creator did her first scene with a male performer other than her husband. Lena’s husband, No Jumper founder Adam “Adam 22” Grandmaison, has explicitly said he was fine and encouraging of this scene. Furthermore, this is an incredibly common part of the on-camera sex work industry. Some couples only film exclusively with each other, other couples will work with external performers. Again, this is very common and very normal if you know literally anything about how the porn industry works.

Except, because we live in a puritanical hellscape that intrinsically hates sex workers, people got super weird about this. People were “clowning” on Grandmaison for, if I have this right, supporting his wife’s career choices. “Kinda weird how calling me a cuck is supposed to offend me. I saw the video of my wife getting plowed and I thought it was pretty hot! If that makes me a cuck, so be it!” Grandmaison wrote on Twitter amidst the height of people being very weird about this very normal thing. And now of course, because there is “drama” afoot and clout to be chased, Kai Cenat is getting in on the action.

Cenat Calls Adam 22 On Stream

Cenat took a moment to call Grandmaison during a recent stream. “YOU, YOU JUST HAD A BBC N***A FUCK YOUR BITCH, BRAH,” Cenat began, literally screaming down the phone at Grandmaison. Grandmaison, cool as you like, calmly explained the situation to Cenat. “Nah nah, that was just work, cuz.” Cenat, either genuinely ignorant on what Grandmaison’s wife does for a living or playing his reaction up for the camera, screamed “YOU SAY WHAT?” Grandmaison, still incredibly professional, clarified “That was just work. A day at work, ya know?”

Cenat continued to yell, asking “SO YOU NOT AFFECTED BY THIS SHIT?” to which Grandmaison responded, “Hell no. It’s like the best thing that ever happened to us. I’m having a time of it bro.” This response causes Cenat to pull a face at his phone before asking “Deadass?” Grandmaison continues to handle the situation wonderfully, saying, “Yeah man, we’re going cr*zy right now. I had no idea that people would be going so… We only had to turn the dial just a little bit, get a little freakier than we usually do. And now everybody’s enchanted by our relationship.” Kudos to Grandmaison on his response and maybe, just maybe, his response to all of this will help lessen the stigma towards sex work in the United States.

Kai Cenat Thirsts For Latto’s Sister Before Finding Out She’s With Ja Morant

For once, let’s not talk about Ja Morant’s ongoing suspension from the NBA. Instead, let’s talk about his love life. In 2017, Morant met KK Dixon while he was a freshman at Murray State. Announcing their relationship in 2018, the couple had a daughter in 2019. Kaari has since become a regular fixture at FedExForum after Murray was drafted in 2019. However, it remains to be seen if Murray will remain a regular fixture in Memphis. Everyone is expecting a heavy suspension to be handed down to Morant after he flashed a gun on Instagram Live last month.

However, Morant and Dixon amicably split in early 2023. Despite this, they appear to be co-parenting Kaari. Instead, Morant has been linked with influencer Brooklyn Nikole since March 2023. The pair were spotted in late 2022 and people took posts from Nikole in March to indicate that they were dating. Aside from her 400,000 Instagram followers, Nikole is also the older sister of Latto.

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

In a recent stream, Kai Cenat pulled up Nikole’s Instagram. As Cenat looked respectfully, his Twitch chat began to grow frantic. After Cenat finally noticed, he began to yell “Ja? Ja Who?” as chat tried to warn him that Nikole was linked to Morant. After finally spotting Morant, along with claims that Morant would shoot up him for sliding Nikole, Cenat completely backtracked. Previously, the streamer has gotten flirty with GloRilla and gotten a little risque with Nicki Minaj. Earlier this year, Cenat became the most subbed streamer on Twitch.

However, it appears that Centa’s chat is working with some outdated information. As recently as May 20, it was alleged that Morant and Nikole have split up as a result of Morant’s latest controversies. Little was known about their relationship but Nikole appeared to call it quits with an Instagram post with the caption “that’s a wrap”. Regardless, it remains a very funny moment for the vastly-popular streamer. Follow all the latest sports news and viral moments here on HotNewHipHop.

Kai Cenat And GloRilla Flirt On Live

Kai Cenat went live with GloRilla and was flirting pretty shamelessly. Kai is no stranger to chatting up rap superstars, though. Recently, the streamer returned from his brief Twitch ban. Interestingly enough, one of his biggest supporters during the ban was Nicki Minaj. After he was able to return, he publicly thanked Nicki for her support. “Auntie Nicki, I see what you said,” Kai said on a stream. “Nicki Minaj said, ‘Why would y’all do that to that boy? Why would y’all ban him?’ She said she gotta get all nice and cute to come on a stream, but Twitch, hold on! This is chess, not checkers. Should I give y’all a big stream like that?” Kai rightfully points out that bringing someone like Nicki onto a Twitch stream would be a huge deal. But, if they are going to ban him, is that something he should be offering to the platform?

Luckily Kai got to stream with Nicki eventually, although not on Twitch. A few weeks ago, the two went live together on Instagram. It made for a pretty interesting interaction, with Nicki asking the streamer to show off his bedroom moves. During the stream, Nicki asked the all-important question: “So how you be whinin’ in it?” Kai responded by moving his camera backward so the audience can see his whole body as he gyrated. It was all in good fun, though, as Nicki is married with a baby. his interaction with GloRilla, however, was a little more serious.

Kai Cenat Made GloRilla Blush

Kai Cenat may be the king of Twitch, but that doesn’t mean he’s above shooting his shot on live. The streamer went live with GloRilla recently, and the two seemed to have hit it off. In the clip posted by the No Jumper Instagram account above, the streamer asks the GloRilla if she has a man. She giggles and says that she doesn’t. Kai seems to express surprise at this, and she tells him that he made her blush. It’s an interesting interaction given GloRilla’s forward, tough rap persona. No word on whether or not she and Kai exchanged numbers.

Kai Cenat continues to have huge celebrities on his stream, whether in person or over video call. Given the frequency with which they tend to appear, it seems that it’s only a matter of time before Cenat has an official show of his own, a la Queen Radio. What do you think of Kai shooting his shot with GloRilla? Sound off in the comments below! Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news.

“Fast X” Is The Soundtrack You Should Be Listening To

Fast X hits theaters today, and the soundtrack just dropped along with it. The Fast and Furious films are one of the biggest film franchises in the world. As such, they enlisted an insane amount of artists for the soundtrack. Fast X‘s collection of original songs showcases a diverse lineup. Even the amount of genres included is practically unheard of: rap, pop, reggaetón, EDM, Latin pop, and more. Furthermore, prominent artists such as Lil Durk, NLE Choppa, Kodak Black, Babytron, Nardo Wick, EST Gee, BIA, G Herbo, and others are featured. Additionally, NBA YoungBoy contributed to the soundtrack. However, the single that he is featured on, “Won’t Back Down,” was released last week.

Considering the immense anticipation for Fast X, the inclusion of these highly-regarded artists really comes as no surprise. The franchise has established a reputation for impressive soundtracks. They’ve become known for their quality and star power. In fact, the music has always been a highlight in the franchise, and it has popularized many songs. This iteration of the soundtrack is sure to do the same.

“Fast X” Brings The Heat

The Fast X soundtrack comes in at around 45 minutes. It is pure adrenaline from start to finish, with numerous standout tracks. However, it also has its odd moments. For example, some of the songs are extremely short. “Furious,” which features BIA, is only 43 seconds long. It’s unclear why that is, particularly since the song is extremely catchy. It could have easily been expanded into a hit single. Still, it’s catchy enough to put on repeat a few times. Even with its sometimes odd features and short tracks, the soundtrack is a banger. What did you think? Let us know in the comments below!

1. Kai Cenat – “The End of The Road Begins (Intro)”

Nicki Minaj Asks Kai Cenat To Show Off His Bedroom Moves

Nicki Minaj may be a legendary rapper, but it doesn’t mean she won’t mingle with people who aren’t on the same level. The Queen of Rap’s impressive track record can’t be denied. Much of the current generation of female rappers, such as Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, and the City Girls, have been inspired by her. Despite her already-established success, Nicki is always looking for ways to reinvent herself. She often does this by releasing new music, but she also stays engaged with youth culture to maintain her connection with fans.

Recently, Nicki has expressed interest in entering the world of Twitch streaming. She has shown support for one of the platform’s most popular streamers, Kai Cenat. After he was banned from the platform, she publicly stood up for him via her social media. When he was finally allowed back, Nicki messaged him while he was streaming. It led to a hilarious response from the streamer. He jumped out of his chair and began pacing around the room. Today, Nicki and Kai Cenat went live on Instagram together.

Nicki Asks Kai To Show How He Whines

Nicki Minaj and Brooke Bailey went live together earlier and had Kai Cenat join them. The clip above was screen recorded and posted to The Shade Room’s Instagram page. In it, Nicki and Kai talk about his moves in the bedroom. It starts with Kai showing off how he moves his hips. The three of them laugh, and Nicki asks the all-important question: “So how you be whinin’ in it?” Kai responds by moving his camera backward so the audience can see his whole body as he gyrates. The two women cheered him on, but Nicki wasn’t done with her line of questioning.

The Queen of Rap had another important question for Kai. “Now, are you a cuddler after?” Nicki asked in a serious tone. “Because I’m not. See, once I get my n*t, I’m out.” The streamer pointed out that his main objective is to please. When Nicki starts to bring up her “three times a night” rule, Kai says that he can make it to seven rounds and refers to himself as the “Terminator.” If the pair’s Instagram Live session is any indication, a Nicki guest spot on Kai’s Twitch stream would be extremely entertaining. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Nicki.

Nicki Minaj Messages Kai Cenat Live On Stream: Watch

Nicki Minaj is one of the most prominent and successful artists in the world, particularly in hip-hop. Despite any arguments to the contrary, she has an impressive track record and an undeniable level of talent. Nicki has also served as a source of inspiration for many female rappers of the current generation, such as Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, and the City Girls. She is frequently and rightly referred to as the Queen of Rap. As such, it’s fair to say that her position in the music scene is solidified.

Despite her well-established success, Nicki continues to seek out new ways to reinvent herself. Of course, this often comes in the form of releasing new music. However, Nicki also puts an emphasis on staying engaged with youth culture to maintain her connection with her fans. Recently, she has considered entering the world of Twitch streaming. She has shown quite a bit of love for Kai Cenat, one of the most popular streamers on the platform. After a recent ban, she even publicly stood up for him. Now, Kai is back and had a hilarious response when Nicki messaged him while he was streaming.

Nicki To Appear On Kai’s Stream

Kai Cenat has returned from his brief Twitch ban. After he was able to do so, he publicly thanked Nicki for her support. “Auntie Nicki, I see what you said,” Kai said on a stream. “Nicki Minaj said, ‘Why would y’all do that to that boy? Why would y’all ban him?’ She said she gotta get all nice and cute to come on a stream, but Twitch, hold on! This is chess, not checkers. Should I give y’all a big stream like that?” Kai rightfully points out that bringing someone like Nicki onto a Twitch stream would be a huge deal. But, if they are going to ban him, is that something he should be offering to the platform?

It seems like the answer may be yes. During one of his most recent streams, Nicki reached out to Kai directly. She wanted to discuss appearing on his stream. Of course, Kai freaked out when Nicki messaged him, as anyone would. However, since he was live at the time, the world got to see how excited he was. He immediately jumped out of his computer chair and began pacing around the room. It’s hilarious to watch, but many of us would likely do the same if we were in his shoes. Whether or not Nicki will appear remains to be seen. What do you think about the Queen appearing on Kai’s stream? Let us know in the comments!
