Canadian Fortnite pro Evan “Cented” Barron has been dropped by Faze Clan after footage of him using a racial slur surfaced online.
The nine-second clip began making the rounds on Twitter on July 3, taking place on fellow Fortnite player Jacob “Hellfire” Hansen’s Twitch stream sometime in December 2021. It shows Barron joining Hansen’s Discord call and immediately using the n-word, which is met with some pretty uncomfortable grumbles by the rest of the voice chat.
Considering the timestamp for the recording is December 28, 2021, it’s uncertain how it took six months for the clip to appear. Regardless, it seems to have gained enough traction that Faze has now pulled Barron from its team.
