“Jail isn’t a place I’d wish on anybody”: Duke Dennis breaks silence following arrest over hide & seek video

Duke Dennis has discussed being arrested for the first time. He briefly mentioned what happened when he started streaming again. The creator got locked up in Texas a few weeks ago while shooting a hide-and-seek video. This news spread fast on social media and made his fans worried. During his livestream, Dennis knew viewers wanted to hear about the incident. But he said he couldn't give many details because of some limits.

"I know, you know what I'm saying? Y'all want to hear about like the whole jail shit. But to be honest, I can't even talk about it. Like what I can say is like the whole thing was just a big ass. The whole thing was just a big misunderstanding miscommunication mostly. I wouldn't bro. No Cal," Dennis said.

Dennis stressed that what led to his arrest came from poor communication, not because he meant to do anything wrong. Dennis held back on sharing specifics about what happened, but he talked about his time in jail. He called it needless and said he wouldn't want anyone else to go through it.

"I'm gonna go ahead and keep it a bad bro. Jail isn't a place that I would wish on anybody like this. It's so unnecessary bro. Like and like the thing about us bro being like the thing about me bro. I'm not the type of content creator. I'm not the type of content creator that's gone. Like risk my freedom for the content, content ain't that deep for me. Like it's not that deep to me. It never will be and like it's not that deep to me or none of my dogs bro," he said.

He stressed that making content isn't worth putting your freedom at risk. He repeated that he and other A.M.P. members don't see content creation as something that should break the law.

"Nobody amp content is not that deep to be risking your freedom and going to jail over. Like I said, this shit was a big *ss misunderstanding, big *ss miscommunicate miscommunication. Like like I say though, bro. I wouldn't wish I wouldn't listen bro. I wouldn't wish jail on nobody bro. Don't go like do not go bro," the YouTuber said.
