Kai Cenat’s in-person Streamer University auditions at State Farm Arena were cut short on Wednesday after thousands of hopeful content creators crowded downtown Atlanta.
State Farm Arena said the “overwhelming number of people” who showed up for the event led officials to stop the auditions and ask everyone waiting outside the arena to leave.
The creator has welcomed stars including Mariah Carey, LeBron James, Drake, and John Cena onto his streams, while his slang helped push “rizz” into Oxford’s Word of the Year. Even Soulja Boy attempted to join Cenat’s program, but after being rejected, he announced he would launch his own version, Rapper University.
Fans came from across the country hoping to join Streamer University, Cenat’s program for creators looking to grow their online presence.
Atlanta police said there were “no significant incidents or public safety events,” though one man was arrested and charged with being a pedestrian in the roadway. Authorities also said a viral claim about an explosion was inaccurate, adding that “there is no such incident within our jurisdiction” that day.
