According to the Associated Press, Cenet first got into hot water when he promised his followers — most of whom are teenagers — a wide sundry of giveaway products, including a new Playstation. The crowd of fans mobbed Union Square on Friday (August 4), and it wasn’t long before chaos ensued.
Footage from the outlet shows that the fans quickly began hurling bottles, jumping on cars, and fighting with one another, and the NYPD quickly lost control of the situation.
At the end of the melee, several people were injured, and more than 60 people (including 30 juveniles) were arrested.
“I don’t think people realize the level of discipline that we showed to take a very dangerous, volatile situation and to be able to bring it to a level of resolve without any loss of life or any substantial damage to property and without young people harming themselves,” NYC mayor Eric Adams said in a statement to the outlet.
Cenet faces a multitude of serious charges, including inciting a riot and promoting an unlawful gathering in New York City.
