According to Cenat, Kick offered the lucrative contract to host part of his previous Mafiathon event on their platform. Despite the eye-watering sum, Cenat chose to remain on Twitch, a decision he credited to personal reflection and prayer.

In addition to his record-breaking feats, Cenat has also demonstrated his dedication to giving back. His Mafiathon 2 event, which will run throughout November, commits 20% of its revenue to building schools in Nigeria.
