NEW YORK: Social media star Kai Cenat will not be prosecuted on charges of inciting a riot in Manhattan after agreeing to post a public apology and paying for the damage caused when thousands of his fans erupted in a melee in Union Square last summer, officials said on May 7.

A spokesperson for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said prosecutors planned to drop their case against Cenat and two other men, Denzel Dennis and Muktar Din, in exchange for the apology and US$57,000 in restitution.
