FaZe Clan member, Cented entered into a Discord call with another Fortnite streamer Hellfire. He was on his live stream when Cented greeted him using the N-word. Hellfire was also taken aback due to the suddenness of the situation and hastily informed that he was live streaming.
Cented immediately disconnected, but it was too late to stop the consequences. The date in the video shows that the incident occurred six months back. The video went viral recently, but that didn’t stop the community from condemning his actions.
FaZe is constantly evolving and we expect our members to do the same.
Cented is permanently removed from FaZe due to his use of hate speech. We, and the gaming community at large can’t tolerate discriminatory language any longer.

The use of the racial slur did not entertain FaZe Clan, to say the least. The popular Esports faction took to Twitter to address the issue. FaZe revealed that they condemn such words and actions, and as a verdict, Cented has been permanently removed from the clan.
The streamer has faced issues before due to his toxic traits. Epic Games, too, had issued him a warning when he used to stream on Steam.
The recent racial issues involving a FaZe Clan member are not new. Earlier, FaZe Dubs was also found guilty of using such abuses. However, he was suspended by the organization for a while after which he rejoined the faction and is a part of it even now. However, for Cented, FaZe Clan did not hesitate to impose a permanent ban. It seems that the organization wants to establish strict rules and make sure its members understand the consequences of such actions.

Cented, having understood his fault, took to social media sites to reveal that he is no longer a part of FaZe Clan. He further wrote a statement of apology to his fans and the community in general.
Going by the present situation, it seems that the matter will take a few days to cool down. With no team at the moment, Cented will be considering looking for new opportunities. It is to be seen which organization ropes him in the upcoming days.
