Kick: N3ONPolice were called to a scene in Kensington, Philadelphia after hundreds of fans gathered to see live streamer N3on and local rapper Skrilla in an impromptu meet and greet.
N3on is a fairly popular live streamer who boasts over 300K followers on Kick and over 800K on YouTube.
While he’s known for getting into wild on-stream hijinks that occasionally get out of hand, one of his February 2025 broadcasts drew the attention of law enforcement.
On February 25, N3on got together with local Philadelphia rapper Skrilla for a fan meetup in the city’s Kensington neighborhood — but it wasn’t long before the event got squashed.

As per reports from ABC6 Action News, around two hundred fans gathered at the scene to see Skrilla and the streamer, leaving even N3on himself shocked.
The two stars and their horde of fans essentially “shut down” Kensington Avenue and F Street, prompting complaints from residents who phoned police to deal with the large crowds walking down the middle of the roads.
Less than two hours into N3on’s stream, as he was being shown around Philadelphia by Skrilla and his crew, the cops showed up, forcing the broadcaster to end the ‘tour’ and retreat indoors.
Despite getting shut down, N3on commented on how friendly everyone was to him during his visit, saying it was “all love” from the locals and calling Philly the “best city in the country.”
As he made his getaway, N3on joked that he was in one of the Grand Theft Auto games, telling his driver that they had “five star” wanted level in their attempt to flee the scene.

Law enforcement says that the duo did not acquire a permit for the fan meetup, which was posted on social media prior to the gathering that night.
This isn’t the first time that police have gotten involved due to N3on’s streams; in May 2024, the NYPD arrested notorious street racer Squeeze Benz after he caused a hit-and-run accident while N3on was broadcasting inside the vehicle with him.
