Popular streamer Duke Dennis arrested as fellow AMP member Kai Cenat looks on
Popular streamer Duke Dennis was arrested in San Antonio over the weekend after authorities accused him of trespassing in a local shopping mall. Dennis, 31, was arrested Saturday, Aug. 2, county jail records show, and charged with criminal trespassing and evading arrest. The popular content creator was released from custody late in the evening on Aug. 3 after meeting a cash bond of $1,000 per charge. USA TODAY has reached out to the San Antonio police department for additional information. Dennis, who has racked up millions of followers on YouTube and Twitch, is a member of the content group AMP, which also includes popular streamer Kai Cenat. AMP, short for Any Means Possible, is a collective of streamers, each with their own loyal fan base, who pool their audiences to create joint content, whether through online gaming streams or viral challenges. The other four members of the group are ImDavisss, Chrisnxtdoor, Fanum and Agent 00. Cenat, who catapulted to fame after joining the group, was present during the arrest, according to videos posted to social media. They show Dennis sitting on the floor of the mall handcuffed as Cenat, a floor above, captures video of the incident on his phone. Neither Cenat nor Dennis has shared an official statement regarding the arrest though the latter did post an Instagram story the evening of Sunday, Aug. 3, the same day as his release, with a black screen accompanied by the text: "Officially on vacation, need suggestions on where to go... See y'all later." His arrest comes on the heels of a major month of AMP. The group camped out in a Texas mega-mansion for the entirety of July, streaming for 12 hours each day for 31 days straight.

Former NBA Star Tony Parker's $16.5 Million Texas Mansion Includes a Waterpark With 8 Pools
After first listing his Texas Hill Country home in late 2021 for $19.5 million, retired NBA star Tony Parker is officially doubling down on efforts to sell the sprawling property he's owned for around two decades, this time with a new real estate agent and a marketing plan featuring a popular internet personality. The six-time All-Star and former San Antonio Spurs point guard—he currently spends most of his time across the pond, where he's the majority owner and president of the French pro basketball team LDLC ASVEL—has just put his Mediterranean-style residence tucked away in the suburban community of Boerne, some 25 miles northwest of San Antonio, back on the market after a brief absence for $16.5 million. More from Robb Report Cruise Liners Are Now Offering Multi-Story Suites That Are More Luxurious Than Your Manhattan Condo LiveWire's New All-Electric Motorcycle Concepts Are for City Streets and Off-Road Trails Purdey Tapped Designer Giles Deacon to Create a New House Tweed The listing is now held by Erwin Nicholas II of Houston-based Mr. Real Estate, and he's brought Twitch entertainer Kai Cenat and his AMP (Any Means Possible) crew on board to help advertise the extravagant 53-acre spread to their millions of viewers during the month of July. The 30-day live streamathon features a pop-up Nando's peri-peri restaurant, plus a look at more permanent perks like a nearly 6,000-square-foot gym with a half-court basketball setup and an arcade, a wet bar-equipped movie theater, a barber studio, dual offices, a 1,500-bottle wine cellar, a fingerprint-access trophy room, and an over-the-top waterpark. 'This isn't just a home—it's a legacy,' Nicholas told Robb Report. 'Tony Parker's estate blends world-class amenities with a sense of wonder no other property in Texas can offer. From the tallest private water slides to the largest residential waterpark in the country, we've created a cultural moment that merges luxury real estate with generational storytelling. 'Live streaming has proven to be a powerful emerging market that delivers unprecedented viewership while bringing families together in real time,' he added. 'It's the best global open house you can have—and this estate is the perfect stage.' Custom-built on a multi-lot parcel the NBA Hall of Famer purchased in 2005, the 53-acre compound within the exclusive Anaqua Springs Ranch community was completed in 2009 while he was still married to actress Eva Longoria. Securely hidden away behind double gates with a guardhouse and a Jurassic Park-themed rear entrance, the residence includes a main mansion, a separate guesthouse, and a detached gym—for a combined total of 10 bedrooms and 12 baths spread across roughly 21,200 square feet. Inside the primary dwelling, a sweeping wrought iron-railed staircase and an elevator flow to bi-level living space anchored by a double-height living room sporting a stone fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows. From there, a formal dining room seats 16 and a vaulted family room connects to a light gray-hued kitchen outfitted with an eat-in island and top-notch stainless appliances, while an opulent primary suite sports a lounge, a massive walk-in closet, and a marble and travertine bath. Rounding it all out are the resort-inspired grounds, which host tennis and sand volleyball courts, a full outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven, a greenhouse, an herb garden, a fruit orchard, and even a tortoise habitat. There's also the professionally crafted waterpark, which includes eight pools, a mountain, grottos, several slides, a 35-foot-high jumping ledge, a trio of hot tubs, water cannons, and a lazy river. The Spurs legend and four-time NBA champion earned almost $170 million over his 18-year career before retiring in 2019 after a final season with the Charlotte Hornets. In addition to his Texas estate, the 43-year-old Belgium native also maintains a historic chateau in France's southern Rhône Valley, where he operates a of Robb Report The 10 Priciest Neighborhoods in America (And How They Got to Be That Way) In Pictures: Most Expensive Properties Click here to read the full article.

Kai Cenat's AMP Partnering With Target Gets Flamed Over DEI Rollbacks
Source: AMP / Amp Target is still reeling from its DEI rollbacks, causing low foot traffic nationwide, but has something up its sleeve to hopefully win back loyal consumers. They've jumped on the streamer wave and launched a campaign featuring the AMP (Any Means Possible) collective, which includes Kai Cenat, Duke Dennis , Fanum , Agent 00 , ChrisNxtDoor , and ImDavisss. AMP has been promoting its personal care brand TONE, which features products like a luminum-free deodorant, body wash, on-the-go cologne, body mist, lip balm, and body lotion in several scents. Now all 16 offerings can be found at your local Target. It's a win for both as Target takes a stab at the Gen Z market, while AMP gains more widespread appeal beyond its millions of online followers on platforms like Kick, Twitch, YouTube, and beyond. The group even celebrated the deal by doing a sleepover in a Target store. Cenat's glad to shake up the male care space, saying in the press release, 'We really saw a gap in the shelves for a new brand to break through — and for a brand that is fresh and represents who we and our community are. Products that don't just look good but actually work and smell great.' Fanum, on the other hand, doesn't want to stranglehold TONE to the group's hoard of male fans, but rather anyone looking to switch up their grooming routine. 'With TONE, we didn't just want to be another men's brand,' Fanum says. 'We wanted to be something different and unique on shelf with clean design. And honestly, we also don't want to be only a men's brand, we want to be for everyone.' AMP's attempt at more widespread appeal would typically receive a round of applause. Still, social media views it as tone-deaf, given that Target eliminated its diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts with guidance from Trump back in January. Since then, the chain store has seen a sharp fall in sales, which is only looking worse in light of Trump's war on tariffs. Target CEO Brian Cornell told analysts on a call in May that the slashing of DEI was partially responsible for the drop, and months later, instead of acknowledging the mistake, they tried to target that same demographic with the new AMP partnership.

Kai Cenat and Drake to stream and collaborate on a music video
American streaming sensation Kai Cenat and Canadian rapper Drake will be on a live stream together on June 12. They will be reviewing submissions for a contest the pair hosted to find concepts for Drake's, Somebody Loves Me music video. Drake's latest album, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U , was created in collaboration with singer and songwriter PartyNextDoor. PartyNextDoor also happens to be the first artist Drake signed to his OVO Sound music label. The trap soul duo invited up-and-coming directors to pitch their best motifs and concepts for the video. The talent search, launched by Drake and PartyNextDoor, invited aspiring directors to pitch ideas for the video, with 20 winners receiving $15 000 each (267 424.50 ZAR) to bring their concepts to life. This whole thing first came to be when a sizeable portion of the live stream chat on Cenat's popular Twitch stream said they felt the last video Drake released was subpar. The rapper then insisted they direct his next one. The 20 chosen creators will contribute a short clip ranging between 30 seconds to a minute each. These will be stitched together and curated by Cenat and his collective Any Means Possible (AMP). Submissions for the contest closed on May 24, with both Cenat and Drake raving about some entries and critiquing others. The rise of social media has meshed with the music industry, with TikTok challenges garnering artists critical acclaim in this era. A slightly more artful approach has been what streamers and YouTubers have been able to cultivate. Drake has been making a point of joining streamers for sessions and locally we have even seen rappers like Cassper Nyovest and Nasty C embrace Twitch. None more so than Cenat. He has become somewhat of an authority on newer music tastes because of his widely enjoyed reviews. This collaboration surprises fans. Cenat was unexpectedly mentioned in Drake's lawsuit against Universal Music Group involving his globally recognised defeat to Kendrick Lamar, last year. So far, the mood between the two appears to be amicable. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 11.

'Taken out of context': Kai Cenat speaks on Fanum and AMP drama
Following a wave of online rumors suggesting that Fanum had cut ties with the popular streaming group Any Means Possible (AMP), Kai Cenat has responded to clear the air and address what he believes has been misunderstood. 'Everybody who fell for Fanum leaving AMP, I'm not gonna lie, that just goes to show how much y'all n***as actually watch AMP,' Kai said during a livestream, calling out fans for jumping to conclusions without context. He explained that Fanum has a yearly routine of leaving the country to handle personal affairs, and this time, social media blew the situation out of proportion. According to Cenat, 'Did you hear Fanum say out his mouth, say 'I'm out'?' adding further, 'you can't always believe shit that's on the internet.' Kai Cenat reveals that Fanum has not left AMP and people should stop believing the rumors — FearBuck (@FearedBuck) May 11, 2025 Cenat confirmed that he had personally spoken with Fanum as recently as this week, emphasizing that much of what's being circulated is being misinterpreted or misrepresented. This includes a Snapchat story from Fanum that seemed to indicate tension: 'AMP Twitter page unfollowed me and removed me from having access. Iigh bet. Can't wait to find out who came up with this.' That post set off widespread speculation among fans and commentators alike. Fanum further added fuel to the fire with another cryptic Snapchat update saying, 'Everything will soon come to light.' Things escalated again when a post appeared on X (formerly Twitter), reading: 'They forget all the shit that I did, I was feeding the team when I didn't have shit.' they forget all the shit that I did, I was feeding the team when I didn't have shit❗️ I was taking a risk, I done got all of us rich — ꜰᴀɴᴜᴍ (@FanumTV) May 7, 2025 Many assumed this was a direct jab at his fellow AMP members. However, it turns out the viral quote wasn't a personal statement, it was actually a bar from 41's Funk Flex freestyle, not a message aimed at AMP. This detail added another layer to the confusion and showed how fans quickly ran with assumptions, ignoring the broader context or origin of Fanum's posts. In the end, Kai Cenat's message is clear: don't jump to conclusions, and don't trust everything you see online without understanding the full story.
