Teeqo lashes out at \u201cdisrespectful\u201d FaZe Clan owners for neglecting veteran creators Instagram: teeqoLongstanding FaZe Clan member Jakob \u2018Teeqo\u2019 Swaerden has lashed out at the organization in a heated rant, claiming the team\u2019s owners never \u201cgave two f***s\u201d about him, while they allegedly prioritize paying new members. Just weeks after Nordan \u2018FaZe Rain\u2019 Shat went on record to \u2018expose\u2019 the organization of its alleged wrongdoings, another veteran of the popular group has now joined the ranks. Teeqo released a scathing video of his own on March 12, criticizing FaZe Clan and its owners for supposedly failing to show him any support. \u201cHow are you gonna be leaders, and you can\u2019t even take care of your members that have been in for 12 f***ing years?\u201d Teeqo questioned to start the intense tirade. Namely, the content creator that\u2019s been part of FaZe for more than a decade took issue with \u201cfake promises\u201d while newer members supposedly got paid more than he ever did. \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. In one particular example highlighting his efforts in the org, Teeqo claimed he put up $100,000 of his own money to help secure a CSGO roster. While he was eventually reimbursed, he claimed this degree of support was never reciprocated to any degree as the team\u2019s owners seemingly never saw him as more than a lower-rung content creator. \u201cI\u2019ve never claimed to be on Apex, Banks, Temperrr, Rain\u2019s level. I never claimed to be them, I never claimed to be an owner, any of that. I know my place and they\u2019ve made it very sure I know.\u201d Throughout his time with FaZe, Teeqo also alleged he only ever signed one contract over his 12-year stint. That contract supposedly being the very same as Tfue\u2019s \u201coppressive\u201d agreement that saw the ex-Fortnite star take the organization to court. \u201cI\u2019ve been in this grey zone,\u201d Teeqo continued. \u201cNo new deal, no new contract, nothing. I\u2019m not getting paid for anything, I\u2019m just in the middle. \u201cIt\u2019s such a f***ing privilege to be in FaZe, I\u2019m so fortunate to be in FaZe,\u201d he added sarcastically. Requesting a decision one way or the other, Teeqo demanded FaZe Clan make a public statement to address his status in the organization. \u201cIf I\u2019m not in anymore, please make it clear,\u201d he said. \u201cHoly f*** it\u2019s disrespectful.\u201d At the time of writing, Teeqo is still listed as an ongoing member of FaZe Clan on the team\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
