The king of streaming, Kai Cenatgot hit with a CRAZY 'swatting' prank in one of his latest streams. During the commotion, police officers showed up at his crib after a false report claimed he had been involved in a violent situation. Really chat?! The SWAT teams moved in, ready for the smoke, but luckily, it was all just a prank. It wasn't the first time Kai had dealt with this kind of mess.
What is 'Swatting'?
Swatting is when people feign an emergency — like saying someone is in danger or doing something illegal — only for the police to show up, only to be sweaty streamers of confusion and fear.
The prank was part of a steamathon called “Mafia 2,” and it's certainly a reminder that being a big influencer comes with serious risks. People troll hard, and in this case, it could have gotten really ugly. The false report stated that Kai had hostages in his home, which led to several police officers showing up, wasting time and energy on a made-up situation.
Kai, who is known for his streams and videos, has spoken out about the dangers of swatting in the past, and this trick raises the need for better protection for creators. It's a reminder that not everything you see online is what it seems, and sometimes, the Internet can be a very confusing place.
