At a New Year's Eve party that Kai Cenat hosted, Dijgui Seck, a friend from high school, was charged with raping TikToker Jovi Pena. As a result, Cenat stopped posting anything online until the issue was resolved.
During Kai Cenat's New Year's Eve party in New York, TikToker Jovi claimed she was sexually assaulted by an unidentified attacker after dozing off on January 5. Later, Jovi claimed that Djigui Seck, a known friend of Kai Cenat, had attacked her. Jovi initially criticized Cenat because she believed Cenat was being unhelpful in identifying the accused, but she has since retracted those claims.
Cenat returned to the stream on January 6 with the intention of responding to the accusations and outlining his recent course of action. Cenat introduced himself to both parties at the start of the broadcast and stated that he had never met Jovi before but that Djigui Seck had been a close friend of his since high school.
Cenat continued by saying that he didn't initially respond to Jovi or to the accusations on any of his social media platforms because he immediately contacted his legal counsel and the appropriate authorities.
"I don’t blame y’all for asking me," Cenat said. "As soon as this was brought to my attention, I didn’t go nowhere but to the police." “I went to my legal team, and I went to the police.” "This is a serious topic; let’s go to the police."
Why did Kai Cenat resist Jovi Pena's accusations going public?
The Twitch streamer Kai Cenat assured that he has not been in touch with either party since hearing both sides of the story and that he had no knowledge of the alleged assault at his New Year's Eve party. He also admitted that his team contacted Jovi Pena.
Taking a step back from the currently ongoing investigation, Cenat warned his viewers against going to her profile and harassing her. "Let me tell y’all something right now." "All my viewers, do not go over to her profile and do not harass this young lady." "Do not," Cenat stated firmly. "This is why I did not want this to come to the internet."
Until the issue is resolved and Cenat feels comfortable enough to resume his regular content schedule, he has put all content on hold, including his upcoming “subathon.” Cenat has taken a back seat to the investigation, leaving viewers to wait and see what happens next.
What else did Jovi Pena charge Kai Cenat with?
In response to Jovi's accusations, Kai also said that he had contacted the police right away and that his attorneys had advised him not to speak about it in public.
In response, Jovi has now asserted that YouTube star Kai and the other participants in this regrettable incident are defying police requests for information. She made the resounding claim that streamer Kai was lying and that only she had called the police.
Jovi argued in a series of tweets that if these individuals are innocent, why are they reluctant to cooperate? She also made it clear that she was furious with those who pretended to be helping her but weren't. It is safe to assume that this case is likely turning out to be a nightmare for Kai Cenat, who recently passed a significant Twitch subscription milestone, even though Kai has not yet responded to these accusations.
The controversy surrounding this rape incident reportedly caused Kai Cenat to postpone his scheduled meetup with London fans a few days ago. Furthermore, rumors claim that Kai might delay his ongoing tasks, including a video he shot with the well-known UK-based YouTube crew Sidemen. Kai must deal with this issue right away in order to try and repair his reputation, as it appears to be doing so.
