FaZe Clan\u2019s cbass addresses Teeqo drama, claims the org \u201ctried\u201d to make things work YouTube: FaZe CBass \/ YouTube:As FaZe Clan\u2019s \u201clongest tenured employee\u201d, former content creator-turned-staff member Sebastian \u2018cbass\u2019 Diamond has addressed drama involving Teeqo, Rain, and others, claiming the organization has \u201ctried\u201d to work things out \u201cover the last few years.\u201d With FaZe Clan\u2019s value on the stock market continuing to hit new lows, and a wide range of employees being let go all at once, it\u2019s been a tricky period for brand that first came up making Call of Duty montages. However, perhaps the most troubling issues of late have stemmed from longstanding creators under the umbrella now speaking out against the team. Just last week Teeqo, an influencer that\u2019s been with FaZe for \u201c12 f***ing years,\u201d lashed out at a lack of support from the company, taking particular issue with \u201cfake promises\u201d from management while newer members enjoyed ownership perks and heftier paychecks. \u201cSomeone else can come in as late as last year, who\u2019s not from this industry, never lifted a finger for FaZe, probably didn\u2019t even know what FaZe was, and get three times the amount of shares that I have, and an annual salary that\u2019s more money than I\u2019ve ever been paid by FaZe,\u201d he said. These comments, along with earlier criticism from Rain, led FaZe Clan as a whole to go dark on social media, only just breaking silence on March 21 with an apologetic statement on company socials. Now, cbass has followed up with a more in-depth statement of his own, addressing complaints from Teeqo and Rain both in a 14-minute YouTube video. Immediately looking to clear the air, cbass claimed accusations of FaZe management not wanting what\u2019s best for its original members \u201ccould not be further from the truth. \u201cI 100% agree with Teeqo morally and ethically that he should have been compensated more for his historical contributions to FaZe Clan,\u201d he stressed. \u201cI do think, speaking on behalf of FaZe Clan, we have been able to give Teeqo a successful career. With him, we\u2019ve been able to bring him to America, put a roof over his head, including the one right now. He deserves all of that. But as FaZe succeeds, he should have been awarded and compensated accordingly.\u201d However, despite admitting the longstanding FaZe creator hasn\u2019t been treated fairly and paid appropriately over the years, cbass admitted there\u2019s more to the situation than just that. From his perspective, he\u2019s dealing with an influencer that doesn\u2019t \u201cneed to worry about putting a roof over their head,\u201d and doesn\u2019t have to worry about \u201cproviding for their family. They\u2019re making they\u2019re making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year pursuing their passion, and we\u2019re providing them and empowering them to do that,\u201d he continued. Yet even with this degree of support from the company, said influencer is still \u201cstaring you in the face, and you\u2019re being told \u2018f*** you. This isn\u2019t enough, I need more.\u2019 That\u2019s not a tenable situation for anybody,\u201d cbass explained. Ultimately, he wishes these conversations were kept private, as their now-public nature can have a huge impact on morale for not only other influencers at FaZe, but every employee working behind the scenes to try and do the right things for the brand moving forward. \u201cHopefully we can all find a way to work together. I\u2019d love nothing more than for us to work this all out.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
