Meeting your favorite celebrity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Add to that the chance to win a PlayStation 5 and gift cards. One might think there is nothing that can sweeten the deal. For Kai Cenat fans, however, it did not go this way. When Kai Cenat organized a meetup in New York City, where he would conduct giveaways of PS5s, fans showed up in big numbers. What resulted was a riot, and Kai Cenat faced legal trouble. It looks like the aftermath of the event will see Kai Cenat lose out on an opportunity with the Sidemen as well.

During a podcast, Sidemen members W2s and Zerkaa revealed Kai Cenat had an invitation to the Sidemen Charity Football event. However, legal troubles might force Cenat into not participating entirely.

To those wondering what the riots were, Kai Cenat organized a meetup and giveaways for fans in New York City. The entire situation escalated out of control into a full-blown riot. With people vandalizing cars, robbing shops, lighting fireworks, and fighting, Kai Cenat found himself in the middle of legal trouble. If Cenat is charged, he will not be able to leave the United States and subsequently will have to miss the Sidemen Football event.

This event remains a big deal for fans of the streaming community, especially since big names make appearances during the match. Since Kai Cenat worked with the Sidemen before in the ’20 v.s. 1′ video as well as being a top streamer, most fans were not surprised he was invited.

However, in a shocking turn of events, Cenat may not be able to attend. Due to the gravity of what happened in New York City, W2S says police want to charge him with three years in jail. If Cenat does get charged, it means he will not be eligible to leave the United States. The match takes place in the UK, effectively meaning Cenat may not be able to attend, leaving a lot of fans disappointed. It depends on the way the legal battles go. At the moment, it looks like he might face severe consequences, according to one legal expert, primarily for inciting riots and unlawful assembly.
