AMP member and Twitch streamer Kai Cenat has weighed in on the recent incident involving fellow streamer Roberto "Fanum" and the NYPD (New York Police Department). Fanum was broadcasting from his Lamborghini on July 29, 2024, during the Dominican Parade in the Bronx. Then, one of the officers was seen pointing a gun at him during the stream.
Fanum has yet to release a statement on the matter (which means that the exact reason behind the police's action remains unknown). It is also reported that the NYPD had seized the streamer's Lamborghini and detained his driver (Walton).
One of the police officers allegedly posed in front of the vehicle. This was shared by verified X page, Ryan (@scubaryan_). Here are the pictures in question:
Kai Cenat had a strong reaction to the pictures of the officer posing beside Fanum's car. He wrote:
"NYPDK F**k em"

AMP members have a controversial history in New York, and the latest incident adds to it. During the Dominican Day Parade in the city, AMP Fanum was streaming when a police officer showed him a gun before asking the group to step out of the car. Reacting to the officer brandishing his gun, the streamer said:
"Why does he have his gun out? Get the camera on this, bro. Why's the gun out? Why do you have this gun out? Why does he got that gun out?"
Fanum also shared a short clip from the incident, where was seen interacting with one of the officers while his driver, Walton, was pressed against the car and handcuffed by another officer. Watch the clip here:
This isn't the first time AMP members have faced authorities in New York. Back in August 2023, some group members were detained following allegations of inciting a riot. The group had initially planned to do a giveaway, which led to a chaotic situation.
There have also been other recent developments involving the members. AMP members currently stay in New York City but have been kicked out of two houses on the trot. The latest incident occurred last week when Agent 00 revealed that the owner of the penthouse had asked them to leave without prior notice.
