Kai Cenat Apparently ‘Swatted’ in Beverly Hills Mansion During Live Stream
Kai Cenat
‘We’re About to Get Swatted’ ….
After Kim Kardashian Chat
Published
Kai Cenat was doing what he does best Monday night — streaming live on YouTube — but his show went sideways after cops say he got “swatted” in L.A.
The famous streamer was doing his live stream from a Beverly Hills mansion when an anonymous caller reported a gruesome crime around 9:35 PM, which turned out to be fake … this according to law enforcement sources.

We’re told the caller said they were armed with a rifle and shot their mother and had their young sister tied up at Kai’s mansion. Our sources say the caller simulated the sound of gunshots to make the phony incident seem all the more real.
Sources tell us … cops responded to the mansion and made contact with Kai’s security team, who said they were unaware of any issues, but would alert the people in the house. When all was said and done, we’re told police found no evidence of a crime.
Kai seemed to refer to the ordeal during his live stream … saying “We’re about to get swatted” after falling off his chair and getting back up to his feet. “Swatting” is when a caller reports a false incident to police in order to provoke a massive law enforcement response at their target … and it can be extremely dangerous.

Interestingly, Kim Kardashian was on with Kai earlier in the live stream — but it appears she was not present for the swatting.
Lucky for Kim!

Witness Tampering Charges Dropped
Published
YNW Melly just scored a huge legal win … because prosecutors in Florida dropped witness tampering charges against him on the cusp of his trial.
The “Murder On My Mind” rapper was set to stand trial on the state charges … jury selection was set to begin Wednesday … but now he can turn his attention to his double-murder trial.
Melly’s attorney’s Drew Findling and Carey Haughwout tell TMZ … “On behalf of Jamell Demons, we welcome the dismissal of the alleged tampering and gang related charges in court this morning. As his newly retained legal team, it became immediately apparent to us that no crimes had occurred. Unfortunately, for 652 days while these charges were pending, the State did not reach the same conclusion until the cusp of trial.”
Unclear why the charges were dropped … prosecutors had alleged Melly was colluding with is co-defendant Cortlen Henry and another inmate to prevent Melly’s ex from testifying in the double-murder case.
With the tampering charges off the table, Melly’s attorneys tell us they now try to free him from a Broward County, Florida jail pending his double-murder trial.

Melly is accused of murdering two of his childhood friends in an October 2018 drive-by shooting … he stood trial in 2023, but jurors were deadlocked, and it ended in a mistrial.
Melly’s double-murder retrial is set for January 2027 … and the stakes are high … ’cause he could face the death penalty if convicted.
