Kai Cenat was arrested and charged with felony first-degree rioting, misdemeanor inciting a riot, and unlawful assembly after a chaotic event in Union Square Park, New York City, in August 2023. The charges he faced could have led to a prison sentence of up to four years; however, in May 2024, the charges were dropped in exchange for an apology and payment of $57,000 in restitution. Therefore, Kai Cenat was not actually sentenced to jail time in this case and is not currently serving a jail sentence for the incident.
Additionally, a separate streaming event involved Kai Cenat spending 7 days in a jail-like setting on stream, but this was a reality show-style entertainment event, not an actual jail sentence.
