Rapper Lil Yachty joins forces with FaZe Clan Billboard \/ FaZe, TwitterAmerican rapper Miles \u2018Lil Yachty\u2019 McCollum has been officially inducted into massive esports and entertainment organization FaZe, teaming up with the likes of FaZe Tfue and FaZe Banks, among other personalities. Lil Yachty announced the development during the Rolling Loud music festival in Los Angeles, California, bringing FaZe Banks, FaZe Temperrr, Ricegum, and other members of the org out onto the stage to take part in his ensuing performance. Yachty went on to call the org his \u201cbrothers,\u201d with the digital display behind him revealing the rapper as a new member of the squad. Yachty is now under the handle FaZe Boat, and will represent FaZe\u2019s entertainment team, likely merging with content creators FaZe Banks and Ricegum for future projects. Yachty reportedly admitted an interest in joining with FaZe in a Tweet back in November of 2017. While a year has passed since then, it appears that the two have kept in contact, now officially announcing a massive partnership within the esports realm. https:\/\/twitter.com\/FaZeClan\/status\/1075112825859653632\/photo\/1 This isn\u2019t the first time a celebrity has merged with the team, either; the NFL\u2019s JuJu Smith-Schuster is likewise affiliated with FaZe (albeit in a more unofficial capacity), having teamed up with the org to release an exclusive merch collab in the past. Lil Yachty\u2019s partnership with FaZe marks yet another celebrity who has stepped into the esports world, following rapper Drake\u2019s investment into 100 Thieves and basketball legend Shaquille O\u2019Neal\u2019s own foray with NRG Esports in March of 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
