Nina Lim Arrested After Twerking on Amazon Truck & Chanting “Knicks in 5”!

Chaos broke loose outside Madison Square Garden on June 13, 2026. The New York Knicks were the victors that evening after securing the team’s first championship since 1973. The Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs 94-90 to win the series 4-1. Fireworks lit up the sky. Police lights flashed across the streets as chants of “Knicks in 5” rang out everywhere.

Right in the middle of it all, 25-year-old Twitch and IRL streamer Nina Lin also called Nina Lim in some reports and known online as @ninadaddyisback decided to take things up a notch. She climbed onto the roof of a stationary Amazon delivery truck near 42nd Street and Sixth Avenue, close to Bryant Park, while livestreaming to her viewers.

A redhead in a Tom Thibodeau No. 32 Knicks jersey fired up the packed arena. Her unsteady 83-second live video held every angle crowd roars rising beneath, chat flooding the display, then her voice cutting through with “Knicks in 5” chants leading the wave. Bystander videos and her own footage show the energy peaking before things turned quick.

NYPD officers moved in fast. They surrounded the truck, ordered her down, and escorted her off in handcuffs as the crowd kept filming. One clip shows her handing gear to her cameraman right before coming down. She reportedly told him something like,

“They are not going to arrest you, shit,”

Thinking it might just be crowd control help.

Lin was taken into custody around 9:30 p.m. ET. She spent about six hours detained before release with a desk appearance ticket early the next morning. In follow-up streams, she complained that her cameraman fled with her equipment, tripod, portable charger, and even her passport during the arrest.

“I celebrated the f**king Knicks win in the cell,”

She said later.

The Knicks victory, powered by Finals MVP Jalen Brunson, sparked wild citywide celebrations. Authorities reported 63 arrests overnight amid reports of damaged vehicles, fireworks, and other disorder.

The viral clip drew strong reactions online. Many called it a “rare W for NYPD” for quick public safety action in the chaos. Others defended it as harmless fun in the moment or criticized the stunt as reckless for content.

This moment puts a spotlight on influencer culture during big events. Chasing quick fame, livestreamers pack busy sidewalks, sparking concerns over crowd control during big wins. When videos hit millions fast, one thing stands out these scenes won’t vanish quietly. Instead of fading, they grow louder, reshaping how people feel the rush of victory through a screen.
