Kai Cenat London meet and greet canceled following sexual assault controversy

Twitch streamer and AMP member Kai Cenat took to his socials to inform that his upcoming Hyde Park fan meet-up has been canceled following his involvement in the sexual assault scandal.

For context, Jovi Pena, a TikToker, revealed that she was a victim of r*pe during Kai’s New Year party. After the perpetrator was tracked down online and identified by Jovi, she declared that she had received no substantial assistance from Kai.

The Twitch streamer has since shared a live stream addressing the situation, claiming that his team is working with the victim to provide any necessary information.

Before the controversy, Kai Cenat, presently in London, had planned a meet and greet with fans in Hyde Park. Due to the allegations, he announced that the event had been canceled. He wrote:

Kai Cenat’s visit to the UK quickly turned sour after Jovi Pena accused the streamer of trying to protect the perpetrator by withholding information.

In his explanatory stream, Kai Cenat stated that he had not been actively responding because of the advice given to him by his legal team. He also announced that he has been in constant touch with Jovi’s entourage to resolve the situation.

He also assured that he would cancel any plans he has made concerning his streaming career, such as a planned subathon next month. Adding to the list of canceled events, Kai declared that his Hyde Park meet and greet, which was supposed to take place later today, has been annulled due to the ongoing controversy.

While his meet-and-greet announcement was initially met with many welcoming comments, his involvement in the scandal meant that the streaming community expressed their reservations about the creator. His latest announcement garnered a host of reactions. Here are some of the relevant ones:

Shreyan would love to drop into the virtual world of FIFA/EA FC and explore it further but, he would recommend playing Red Dead Redemption 2 to gaming skeptics for its top-tier gameplay, story and characters. During his downtime, he enjoys balancing his interests in reading, watching films and sports, and of course, playing video games.
