8-Bit Eric (8BE) Popular Twitch streamer Kai Cenat — who boasts 20 million subscribers on the platform — hopped on a livestream Friday afternoon and encouraged his followers to gather at Union Square Park, where he promised to give away PS5s and other free gaming electronics. What transpired next was described as a “full-on riot” as an estimated 2,000 teens and young adults descended upon the park, wreaking widespread, well-documented havoc that prompted a massive police mobilization and led to over a dozen arrests. Many among the out-of-control crowd tossed bottles, jumped on vehicles and taunted cops. Once he arrived at the iconic greenspace, Cenat live-streamed roughly an hour of the screaming and pulsating crowd on Twitch until the connection was cut. Chaos erupted Friday afternoon after a large crowd gathered at Manhattan's Union Square Park for livestreamer Kai Cenat's meet-and-greet and giveaway. Things spiraled out of control at around 3 p.m., when some in the crowd could be seen tearing down construction barricades and hurling objects, including throwing some objects at responding police officers. As the chaos unfolded, a vehicle attempted to leave - believed to have been carrying Cenat. The crowd could be seen mobbing it. It moved slowly through throngs of people before eventually speeding off, with people clinging to the sides and back. At least three people could be seen tumbling off the vehicle onto the pavement as it sped away. Cenat was taken into police custody for questioning at around 5 p.m. He did not have a permit for the event or preplan it with police. Earlier in the day, Cenat posted on social media that he would be there in person for the giveaway. He has more than 9 million combined followers on Twitch and other social media platforms.

Kick streamer Cuffem threatened to “kill” Twitch star Hasan during a recent stream as the drama between Hasan and Adin Ross continues to swirl. On April 30, news broke that Adin Ross had celebrated the fact that he issued “false copyright strikes” to various YouTubers who had used his likeness in a video. Twitch star Hasan was one of the affected creators, and he quickly hit back at Adin Ross’ celebration in a post on Twitter, claiming he was “hitting new levels of stupidity I never knew were reachable.” Now, Kick streamer Cuffem has threatened to “kill” Hasan during a recent stream as the feud between Adin and Hasan continues. #Hasan #AdinRoss #CopyrightDrama #DMCATakedown #LegalIssues #TwitchStreamers #ContentCreators #OnlineCommunity #BrandReputation #CreatorsSupportingCreators #ContentIsKing #FairUse #IntellectualProperty #YouTubeCreators #OnlineEntertainment #CopyrightLaw #StopTheDrama #ClearingTheAir #TrustTheFacts #TransparencyMatters #HonestyIsKey #KeepingItReal #AuthenticityMatters #NoCopyrightInfringement #OnlineInfluence #SocialMediaMarketing #DigitalBranding Follow Me on Social Media: ► Twitter: http://twitter.com/8biteric ► Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/8biteric/ ► Facebook: http://facebook.com/the8bitericshow ► Tumblr: https://8biteric.tumblr.com/ ► Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/8BitEric/ ► Discord: https://discord.gg/mEH2KBs Watch My Content: ► YouTube: http://bit.ly/1SujXqu ► Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/8bit_eric ► TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@8biteric ► Bitchute: https://bit.ly/33m4IjK ► Odysee: https://bit.ly/2SeFVHM ► Rumble: https://bit.ly/3D1S2Au Support the Channel: ► Patreon: http://bit.ly/1XrXsXI ► Become a YouTube Channel Member: https://bit.ly/3DFKJwx ► Subscribe on Twitch: https://www.Twitch.tv/subs/8bit_eric ► Buy Merch: bit.ly/2LiDUbf ► Donate: https://bit.ly/3BEUNUI For Business Inquiries: ► Email: 8bitericshow@gmail.com ► PO Box: 8-Bit Eric, 9155 Schaefer Rd #1404, Converse, TX 78109 Equipment used in videos: Gaming Chair: KILLABEE Big and Tall Gaming Chair 8212 Gray https://www.killabee-gaming.com/collections/8212?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=8BitEric USE PROMO CODE: 8BitERIC for $15 off Video Camera: Sony FDR-AX100/B 4K Video Camera https://amzn.to/3im1sc7 (affiliate) Camera Microphone: Sony XLR-K2M https://amzn.to/3ihS0q9 (affiliate) Capture Device: Elgato Game Capture HD60 S https://amzn.to/33lv4C9 (affiliate) Lights: PHOPIK Softbox Lighting Kit https://amzn.to/2SoikUZ (affiliate) Camera Capture Device: Elgato Cam Link 4K https://amzn.to/3ioVsPQ (affiliate) Microphone: Blue Snowball USB Mic https://amzn.to/30oeCPV (affiliate) Editing Computer: Apple iMac (27-inch, 8GB RAM, 1TB Storage) https://amzn.to/3kWXCrM (affiliate) Computer Monitor: Dell Ultrasharp U2718Q 27-Inch 4K IPS Monitor https://amzn.to/36kpXUS (affiliate) Streaming/Gaming PC: Asus G20AJ-US006S Intel Core i3-4150 3.5GHz 8GB DDR3 1TB HDD DVD±RW Windows 8.1 Desktop PC (Discontinued by Manufacturer) ABOUT 8-BIT ERIC: Every Nintendo Switch game will be reviewed here!
