Kai Cenat and Shank Comics

US online streamer and YouTuber, Kai Carlo Cenat III has reportedly donated $3,000 towards a school project in Makoko, Lagos after arriving Nigeria.

Makoko is a densely populated waterfront slum known for its stilted and floating structures situated along the Lagos Lagoon.

Cenat is visiting Nigeria for the first time, a trip reportedly facilitated by Nigerian skit maker and content creator, Shank.

In a video shared via Cent’s YouTube channel, Shank could be seen showing the content creator around.

They both also sampled Nigerian delicacies like Amala and engaged with children during a visit to a school within the community.

In a car clip while on their way to another location, Shank could be seen expressing shock that Cenat had given out $3,000 to a random person.

“You did not know? You go ask. Why would you give somebody… Look at this boy!” Shank said.
