We\u2019ve rounded up all the reactions here. On April 28, FaZe Clan\u2019s social media accounts came back to life, announcing a \u201creboot.\u201d Notably, this included cutting down the content creator roster to just 14 members. As a result, many famous names, some of whom had been associated with the organization for years, were suddenly no longer members. Here is a full list of all the removed content creators, and how they reacted. Blaze He responded to the news with a YouTube video, thanking fans and FaZe for the memories and revealing he had been made aware of the news two months prior. Banks posted on X and called Blaze a \u201cf**king class act\u201d following the video, wishing him \u201call the success in the world\u201d and stating the OG FaZe member had \u201csummed everything up as perfect [and] honest as anybody could.\u201d Nate Hill Nate Hill wrote in length on X after being cut from FaZe, \u201cI\u2019m beyond grateful for everything they\u2019ve done for me and proud of everything I\u2019ve done to help the team. From commercials, modeling merch drops, interviews with the biggest movie stars on the planet, leading [collaborations] with countless brands like Porsche and Man City. And most importantly competing and performing in some of the biggest eSports events of all time.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m disappointed in how it\u2019s ending. Through our collaboration over the last 6 years, I would have hoped for more than a last-minute phone call before a post was made, but that\u2019s life,\u201d he continued. \u201cOne door closes and another opens.\u201d Kalei Kalei teared up speaking about her removal from the organization on stream, claiming she hadn\u2019t made any money from her time with FaZe and expressing that she wasn\u2019t happy with how things had turned out. \u201cJust short of 10 years, my journey with FaZe has come to an end. It\u2019s been a hell of a ride and I couldn\u2019t be happier with who I\u2019ve become,\u201d Dirty announced after getting booted, stating he hoped the brand \u201clives forever\u201d and addressing his removal on YouTube. Booya Booya wrote on X; \u201cAppreciate the opportunity FaZe gave me to represent them these last 3 years. Wouldn\u2019t trade the memories or friendships for anything. Nothing but love and good things to say from my side.\u201d Kitty \u201cI can\u2019t speak for others, but all I can say on my end is that I tried my best over these years to uphold FaZe\u2019s roots the best I could,\u201d Kitty shared. \u201cIt was a fun 10 years &#038; I wish them the best with this reboot. Give them a chance &#038; see where it goes.\u201d JSmooth JSmooth thanked FaZe for his time in the clan, writing, \u201cUnfortunately I did not make the cut. I just want to say I\u2019m extremely blessed to be a part of the best org in the world for 3 years! Created so many memories and friendships. Thank you to FaZe for taking a chance on me. To be a black creator in FaZe is a blessing. Thankful.\u201d H1ghSKY1 After five years, H1ghSKy1 also didn\u2019t make the cut, announcing, \u201cThe last 5 years of my life growing up with the Faze fam were some of the best times of my life, and I am beyond thankful to have had an opportunity to be with them. Thank you to all the people who have been here supporting me through the years. I wish them all the best on whatever they choose to do next.\u201d Linkzy Linkzy wrote, \u201cIt\u2019s been [an] absolute wild ride and I couldn\u2019t be more thankful for the opportunities and memories. Not the end for me and I am excited to see what we can cook up in the future. Thanks Banks for taking a chance on me in 2013.\u201d Fakie Fakie didn\u2019t take the news as well as some other members cut from the group, claiming he had been assured he would always be part of FaZe. \u201cSh**s ridiculous at this point. I was literally told in 2018 that I will always be a FaZe member and in FaZe clan unless I did heroin or some crazy sh** on stream,\u201d he said in response. \u201cLike I said either you guys are fake as f**k or I\u2019m in FaZe lol there\u2019s not much wiggle room here.\u201d Bloo Bloo was more accepting, stating, \u201cCountless memories over the last decade. so many clips, so many videos, and much more love than ever expected.\u201d Agony Agony expressed confusion over the news and shared that fans could expect an upcoming video about being cut; \u201cWelp, after 10 years of being in FaZe, (even longer before that if you know)\u2026 We were kicked. Unfortunate timing cause I\u2019m on vacation, but will make a video about it when I get home this week. Hopefully, [then] we\u2019ll know why this happened lol.\u201d Sway Sway also confirmed he had been cut, writing, \u201cYes I have officially been kicked from FaZe, I will forever be grateful for all the things FaZeClan has done for me and I know I wouldn\u2019t be here today without them.\u201d \u201cAlthough I officially joined FaZe in 2022, I\u2019ve been inspired by the brand and its values since I was 14. For me, FaZe wasn\u2019t just a label next to my name, it literally shaped who I am today,\u201d Proze said in response to being cut. He continued, \u201cToday, I must announce that my time as a FaZe Clan member has come to an end, and it feels bittersweet. This team has meant so much to me over the past decade, and I wish nothing but the best for everyone who remains part of it.\u201d Nio Nio shared, \u201cDidn\u2019t make the cut, it\u2019s been an absolute honor to represent the org that every kid wanted to be in growing up. The last 3 years has been a blessing. Thank you to anyone &#038; everyone who has supported me throughout this journey.\u201d Faxuty Faxuty revealed he found out he had been cut through his chat, saying, \u201cIt sucks I found out through my chat and didn\u2019t get a single call or even a text from anyone but it is what it is. I have been in FaZe since practically the start of my career and joining FaZe will always be a special moment for me and my community.\u201d \u201cThe memories and people I have met through FaZe will never be forgotten. I grew up watching FaZe and was the biggest fan so this opportunity alone was a blessing &#038; a dream come true,\u201d he continued. \u201cI wish nothing but the best for everyone &#038; hope FaZe returns to what it once was. On to the next chapter.\u201d Cizzors Cizzorz addressed being cut with a bizarre tweet that left fans scratching their heads, writing, \u201cKicked from FaZe. Breaking up with my girlfriend. New Deathrun today.\u201d Banks words for FaZe\u2019s former members were less warm than those he shared with Blaze, writing, \u201cF*** em all\u2026 What does it say about how Blaze reacted vs how some of these random little clout-chasing rats are reacting? We didn\u2019t even recruit you, some f****** weirdo did.\u201d He also revealed Rain had been offered a spot in the new FaZe Clan but had decided to \u2018dip\u2019 instead; \u201cIt\u2019s all good, we\u2019re [going to] fix this bitch up, homies welcome back anytime. He knows this.\u201d FaZe has already started recruiting new members, starting with Max, with four in total expected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kicked FaZe Clan members react to sudden exit as org \u201creboots\u201d Kalei \/ FaZe BanksFormer FaZe Clan members have been responding to the news of their exit, ranging from confusion to anger to heartfelt goodbyes.
