For many months now, Rain has been in an ongoing battle with FaZe Clan, unhappy with the direction of the company and the decisions being made that he claims have seen the organization go downhill. Most recently, he has threatened to leave FaZe Clan if they don\u2019t remove Sebastian \u2018Cbass\u2019 Diamond from the company. On May 21, Rain once again took to social media, posting to his Instagram story to call out the actions of FaZe. Rain calls out FaZe over NICKMERCS deal In his Instagram story, Rain said: \u201cYou know FaZe recruited NICKMERCS in 2018 as \u2018damage control\u2019 (their words not mine) to the Tfue situation and those idiots have been paying him $1M a year since. \u201cI couldn\u2019t think of ONE memorable moment with NICKMERCS and FaZe. Like literally not one. No other FaZe member gets even close to that # btw.\u201d Nick officially joined FaZe Clan in 2019 after his unceremonious split from 100 Thieves, before announcing in 2021 that he had become a co-owner with an equity stake in the organization. While Rain does appear to have started mending certain bridges with members of FaZe, such as his reconciliation with Alex \u2018Adapt\u2019 Prynkiewicz, he is still going all-in on calling out the issues he believes exist within FaZe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FaZe Rain claims FaZe signed NICKMERCS as \u201cdamage control\u201d after Tfue controversy FaZe Clan\/FaZe RainFaZe Clan stalwart Nordan \u2018Rain\u2019 Shat has spoken out against the company once again, now claiming that they are paying Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff a hefty salary to be a co-owner as \u201cdamage control\u201d for the legal battle they were embroiled in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48610","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48610","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48610"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48610\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48610"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48610"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48610"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
