    The popular Twitch streamer whose video game giveaway turned into an out of control riot in Union Square still hasn’t learned his lesson.

    Kai Cenat — who is worth at least $14 million and boasts more than 10 million followers each on Instagram, Twitch and TikTok — was caught on video traipsing through Washington Square Park last week like a Pied Piper, with a gaggle of at least two dozen admirers trailing him.

    “The flockin over this short dreddy,” the eight-second long Instagram story, posted by user @sergflock, was captioned.

    Cenat, 22, caused chaos in Union Square in August, after massive crowds swamped the famed area after he announced he was giving away a PS5 video game console.

    Cenat didn’t have a permit and was eventually charged with inciting a riot and unlawful assembly, but Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced May 7 he was dropping the charges against the gamer.

    The live streamer issued a public apology and paid $55,000 to the Union Square Partnership, Inc., according to Bragg.
