#NBCNews #KaiCenat #NYC
FREE STUFF. Kai Cenat must have met with the DNC , BIDEN, and his handlers and come up with a plan to stay popular. Not sure why NY city officials are upset. This is the kinda stuff they like especially the moronic mayor they have running things.
Blacks gon wild
If they only try this hard to find a job 😏
He should be booked
I “NEVER” did anything like this in the 90’s or 2000’s. My father “NEVER” did anything like this when he was a teenager. Every generation of young people does stuff like this.
If only they would show up like this at job fairs.
Watching this on my ps5
Well, did he give anything away? 🤣
America is Great again 🤣🤣
This is called a riot but the attack on the White House was an insurrection 🙄🤔
Looks like great american people yeah shiesty is very normal for white people to wear
🐵🐵🐵🐵
Look like a normal riot 😂
Land of the free… Freedom to riots.
Kai is a dumb asf💀 he just like speed an adin 🤡
This is the future republican party
Black influencers, black students, black police. What’s happening to America
Soooo Trump is free???? But this guy is locked up???? I’m just gonna call white privilege on this one cause that riot or terrorist attack on our capital was way worse than this and that fool Trump out here golfing and running for president again I guess 🤣🤣🤣
Cant stand the term INFLUENCER. Its for the weak!
Just a large crowd of ignorant clowns!!
What a bunch of losers acting like animals none of these people out there got to life,,
🤣🤣🤣MURICA🤣🤣🤣
So what you are saying is that social media imbe..les can lead not very smart teens to commit stupid things.
P.S: How come he is in custody and Trump is not ?
am not rich but i never go to any sale if there is too many people there, i rather go on normal day and pay the full price
i dont like to struggle in crowds, i prefer to do my shopping peacefully,
i dont like those events where they give away free stuff either, its even worse as everyone can see in the video
you are right, am glad i was born in the 85, the life before was the best, i feel pity for the new generation they grow up in this boring digital world
Kia just wana rock
WHO???
Kai cenat For President. USA USA USA USA
NY is the result of what people voted for. Enjoy
Remind me of Trump riot
Parents are raising some stupid ars kids !!
Can’t help but wonder If he was giving away work boots and a job how many of these kids would have showed up 😳
This is worse then September eleven and Pearl Harbor
When hoards of dumb people idolize dumb people.
This is America
They don’t have no rights to vandalized the city property, before was black lives matter,
And now why,for a game? This is vandalized private property.
I never understood all these so called ‘famous’ internet influencers but I always say it; without social media all these clowns would be nobody or people would not even know any of them or care! 👎👎👎
It’s got electrolytes!!!
They are jobless, lazy to work, they just made bad image for America😂
DEFUND HIP-HOP!!
You attract what you are, he is trash and attracted trash
they need to throw that POS in jail for starting this make em do a couple years n see how much of an influence he is on people in jail
Not a White dude in sight … just sayin
My thoughts exactly.
Just young gange bangers having fun. Just another day in New Your city .
Don’t these people have jobs ??
Who?
Soooo, Kai Cenat incited a riot? better prosecute him.
“Influencer” 😂
😂😂😂😂😂☻😂😂😂😂😂
I’ve never seen such a clueless generation.
STOP GIVING THIS 👨🏿🦲🫵 SO MUCH ATTTENTION. THIS IS WHAT EXACTLY HE WANTED. IDIOTS. 🫵🫵💀💀
WOW. THE FACES OF NEW YORK CITY. 🫵🫵🫵
CHARGED AND SENT TO PRISON? 50 YEARS? JUSTICE. 🫵🙏🙏🙏🙏
This is what china wants to happen in all over the world. What you see on tik tok is never shown in china. China shows all tik tok crap to world but they never show that in their own country. Think.
Example of greed and poverty in our country
In the 90’s a father and mother of 3 could take care of their family in a two story house on minimal wage. But also mom working.
Did anyone get charged for the capital riots?
He should have gave away advice on how to get a job and stay out of trouble. 👍
The ANIMALS need only the slightest excuse to loot and riot.
No one is gonna notice it’s all blacks
The so call influencer can share a cell wz trump
Omg!
Bruh if you go to jail that’s gonna cost you more than 600 dollars. At least 5k-7k
The hunt for the PS5 is real.
Quarantine him from and delete all his social media. Throw him into jail, and make him pay all the costs!
Really? OMG
This is what it looks like I’m Africa when they hand out free food.
Americas entitled and greedy youth.
Monkeys gone wild vol.40000 billion
Worthless Monkeys…….
Uncivilized country
Why can’t young people ever describe something? They always use the wrong words or they just can’t get words out.
The entire country is suffering from a catastrophic paucity of moral leadership, starting all the way from the top, the thrice indicted criminal in chief/45th president of the U.S. How can you expect children to obey their elders and respect the law when the last president of the U.S. was a criminal who attempted to overthrow an election he lost?
The giving away of free items does not excuse violence. A social media influencer’s philanthropy does not excuse PR negligence. A boring summer does not excuse rioting. These are simple facts that people must understand.
So Trump starts a Riot he runs for president Kai starts one he in Jail what a Irony
Good cops NYPD
NYPD GOOD COPS MANHATTAN
idiocracy
Looks like a nice place to live😂😂😂
That is all because of youtube. Stop paying these idiots or it will backfire in your very own soil. The US government should call out youtube for this including fb. They should limit these idiots to use a social media platform
With great power , comes great responsibility 🕷️ 🦸🏽♂️
The fact that you had to put in the effort of going there to practically beg for a video game lol, these people are pathetic
So much for freebies!
A bunch of kids and children just following someone looking for something free lol keep following 😅
MONKEYS🐒🐒🐒🐒
Five head
This is sad 😢😢😢even heartbreaking 💔
This is happening for a reason..just wait.
Thanks Kai Cenat😁
He should pay for all the damages or hospital fees , medication if needed , loss of food in the carts
Why America is so messed up? We don’t have this in Dubai our give away here just to lose weight are real gold… is this how broke USA?
Like the saying goes monkey see monkey do
he is ignorant ever.
Black people ?
Time to buy my glock21…
🤦♂🤦♀This is a representation of the stupid generation coming through , who sit on their phones, follow anything and everything on social media, yet forget how to learn to actually work hard in life and have meaningful communication and relationships with others
0:19 “mostly young people” Media euphemism for mostly black people.
“mostly peaceful protest” Media euphemism for mostly violent black rioters & looters.
These are New Yorkers disrespecting their city.
Alot of kids went missing here and never to return. This was a masonic ritual
