'I don't speak on legal s**t': Fanum responds to Duke Dennis' arrest situation
The gaming and streaming community has been filled with chatter since this weekend's Arrest of Twitch star Duke Dennis in San Antonio, Texas. Now hardly has AMP affiliate and streamer Roberto "Fanum" broke silence over the situation and then clarified his stance of going far away from the legal mess.
The Arrest That Sparked the Internet
Duke Dennis, being the stage name, really means Denzel Shaquille Dennis. He was arrested on Saturday, August 2, at the Shops at Rivercenter mall. According to reports, the 31-year-old had been involved in a hide-and-seek game with his friends, Kai Cenat among them, when mall security allegedly approached the group and asked them to leave due to complaints received about their behaviors.
When the police arrived at about 10 p.m.,
they claimed that the group continued to disrupt and that Dennis refused to heed warnings asking him to leave. He was named in a charge of criminal trespassing and evading arrest. Some online videos show Dennis handcuffed on the mall floor while Kai Cenat films from an upper level.

On August 4, during a livestream, Fanum briefly alluded to the matter but hastened to say that he wouldn't really get into the legal specifics.
"Word, chat, it's definitely... see, I don't speak on legal s**t, bro, ever. You know what I'm saying? I let the... whenever the person was involved in whatever situation, which is not really a situation at all, to be honest. You know what I'm saying? Word, chat, it's nothing crazy."
His tone probably indicated confidence in that the situation had been blown out of proportion and that Dennis hadn't really done anything serious.
Support Without the Speculation
Although he decided not to delve into any details, this is a typical stance of creators in the midst of legal controversies to provide support without feeding the speculation online. His position also points to AMP standing by Dennis as the legal matters proceed.
As it stands, no formal statements have been issued whatsoever from both Dennis and Kai Cenat regarding their arrest.
However, the AMP fanbase continues to support the group, awaiting further information.
One of the questions this incident raises is where the line is drawn with content creation, especially in public spaces. In an environment where streamers try pushing the envelope to entertain their fans, Duke Dennis' arrest may well be the wake-up call of legal considerations to respect when making viral content.

Joto Kando Kolkatatei teaser unveiled, Abir Chatterjee steps into the detective's shoes
Anik Datta's 'Joto Kando Kolkatatei' teaser is out, promising mystery and humour, with Abir Chatterjee as Topshe in a fresh narrative. It's not a Feluda adaptation but echoes Satyajit Ray's spirit. Datta created an original story with Sandip Ray's support, evolving from Hemenbabur Henyali. The curtain has been lifted on Joto Kando Kolkatatei , the film by director Anik Datta, with its teaser now out on digital platforms. Promising an evocative blend of mystery, nostalgia, and sharp-witted humour, the film marks yet another bold creative turn for Datta, who pays homage to the detective fiction tradition while carving out a unique space of his own. Abir Chatterjee headlines the film as Topshe — not merely the familiar sidekick, but the central sleuth in a fresh narrative twist. While the title may stir memories of classic Feluda tales, Joto Kando Kolkatatei is not a Feluda adaptation, but an original story that echoes the spirit of Satyajit Ray 's iconic creation while offering something entirely new. Joining Chatterjee is a strong ensemble cast including Quazi Nawshaba Ahmed, Roja Paromita Dey, Rik Chatterjee, and Aparajita Ghosh. The film also features actors like Dulal Lahiri, Mithu Chakraborty, and Rajat Ganguly, adding further depth and nuance to the storyline. 'Like thousands of others, I am a huge Feluda fan and always wanted to make a Feluda film. But since that wasn't feasible due to copyright and other limitations, I decided to create something that had the flavour of Feluda stories while being original. I discussed the idea with Sandip Ray, who supported it wholeheartedly. What began as Hemenbabur Henyali eventually evolved into Joto Kando Kolkatatei , incorporating mystery and the search for identity," shared Anik.
