Kai Cenat, who has more than 20 million followers and more than 1 million paid subscribers on the

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) — Multiple people were arrested this week after dozens of content creators and influencers arrived in Atlanta’s Summerhill neighborhood to attend an event hosted by a popular streamer.
Twitch streamer Kai Cenat intended to host auditions for his “Streamer University” program in Atlanta Tuesday, but postponed the event after multiple host venues reportedly backed out and police deterred guests from arriving.
Cenat had been hosting in-person auditions for the program so people could apply to learn how to become an internet streamer or influencer.
Attendees said the event, geared toward networking and social media platform building, started off fun but then took a turn after police began breaking up the crowds.
