  1. 1:04 I saw this guy get his face slammed into the glass window of that van in another video.

  2. He can't be accused because it was not even him doing the video, it was Ai. Everybody know this.

  3. What a shame..should have done an online giveaway there big guy…crazy how immature kids could be so horrible & unruly

  4. He should have to pay for all damages and banned from all streaming platforms … and should have to go to jail for a year

  5. all cause he tried to do a giveaway. people are insane

  6. Ofc they left out the part where he begged media not to show up to his mom house

  7. This is just like blacks and car meets and block parties…..always turns to violence.
    Speaks VOLUMES

  8. Weird you don't see White people acting like savages

  9. Bring people together love ❤️ it

  10. I love Kai but I would also file a lawsuit. It would be the american thing to do😂

  11. These people will never change the still think they are in Africa climbing trees for bananas

  12. The problem is giving this joke influential power … what’s he using his Obama phone

  13. I knew you guys who could cover this 💀

  14. Nothing he said was malicious or negative I feel like the news try’s to drag him bc of his name and that he’s a influencer

  15. After a hundred people showed up were people just that Weetardedz to realize that they were already handed out within 5 mins and its not an all day giveaway so dont be calling everyone you know to head down and get yourself a PS5….. Kid prob only handed out 25 of them

  16. Meeting of People who has no brain

  17. nah nah nah show the full stream💀

  18. sad very sad and stupid

  19. Is their any difference between what trump said and what this guy said?

  20. IS HE AN ONLY CHILD ? BRO BRO BRO C´MON MANN GAYBOB HAT

  21. Ive never heard of this guy. I feel like Im out of touch with this generation.

  22. They set this young man up They don’t want to see Black people with free game systems the store man’s is part of it

  23. his "disappointment" is actually just a lack of accountability but ok

  24. Tells you a lot about his audience

  25. He knew 100% that his monkey viewers have no control, are "rowdy" (his own words) and would do this. Needs to be charged and held completely responsible.

  26. Do it in a republican run area this won’t happen

  27. He didn’t even- these white ppl men🤦‍♀️

  28. People still hating on him in the comments bc he have what they could have in life

  29. Way to spin his words! He didn’t want any of that to happen. Come on now.

  30. Isn't social media wonderful?

  31. a lot of racist people calling minors thugs nd bullying kai calling him names without knowing the truth

  32. The way I see it, gathering even hundreds let alone thousands of young people in a public place, would lead to no other possible outcome than what happened that day.

  33. Me and my dad were just talking about how we don’t understand how these influencers even get famous. There’s plenty of people with talent and quality content, and somehow this goofy looking 5ft dude came to fame from screaming and being annoying on camera. The fact so many people would come out for the guy says it all. Society has failed.

  34. Looks like Cenat Woke up as to why he's called an "influencer" We all have to wake up somehow. Good for him!!!! I like when he says, "We all have to do better."

  35. y’all made sure not to put the part about news vultures drivers hours outside of ny go go to his moms house nd record her huh
