Another legal trouble for Duke Dennis happened in August 2023 when a Playstation 5 giveaway organized by Kai Cenat, Duke Dennis, and Din Muktar (Agent 00) in Union Square Park, New York, went wrong.

The event, which was supposed to be a small meet-and-greet, went off the rails when over 2000 fans showed up, causing chaos, vandalism, injury, and the eventual involvement of the NYPD.

Over 65 arrests were made, including the three creators. Cenat was charged with inciting a riot and unlawful assembly.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office dropped these charges after he paid $55,000 in restitution.

All three creators eventually publicly apologized for their actions.
