Twitch streamer Kai Cenat says he's homeless in NYC, living in a U-Haul: 'I've had a long f-- week'
NEW YORK - Twitch streamer Kai Cenat says he's living in a U-Haul truck in New York City and that the Secret Service has been hounding him.
The 22-year-old Bronx native who has millions of followers across platforms, bringing in an estimated $3 million annually, says he's had a bad few days.
This comes just a year after he was charged with inciting a riot in Union Square last year.
The charges were dropped after he publicly apologized and paid a $57,000 in restitution fine.

He says it's his second week in the city, but he that hasn't found a place to stay.
In a stream posted on YouTube Tuesday, titled "I'm homeless in New York City," Cenat says "I'ts been having a long f** week," and that he's been from hotel to hotel.
In the 20-minute-long rant, Cenat is seen sitting in front of a makeshift bed---signaling that he'd been sleeping in the truck.
Cenat explains the home he's supposed to be moving into isn't ready yet and that he refuses to go back to his mom's house in the Bronx.
He says his notorious "Red Room" in the Bronx, where he typically films his streams, caved in and is now rat and roach infested.

In a rage, Cenat explained that there were a lot of things going on that he could not publicly speak about.
Cenat claims that he's been approached by the Secret Service and a woman asking him to be a part of a political campaign.
TMZ reports that the streamer's services are being requested to help endorse Kamala Harris for President following Adin Ross's endorsement of Donald Trump.
"I got the Secret Service calling me," Cenat said.
The gamer didn't get into much detail but says that the woman is someone he hadn't spoken to in over a year.
"What the f-- is Kai Cenat gonna talk about with politics," he screamed.
He then went on to say that if he were to join the campaign, that he would" be 100% honest."
"I've never done anything like this its not my lane," Cenat explained.
It is unclear where exactly in the city his U-Haul truck is or how he's able to set up lights and cameras inside.
"I just flexed my first penthouse..just to end up in a U-Haul," Cenat said.
