Tfue addressed the rumor during an episode of the Konkrete podcast on May 29, where he claimed that he\u2019d never mentioned wanting to start his own organization and wouldn\u2019t have the time to, even if he did. \u201cI never said that once,\u201d Tfue said of the matter. \u201cHell no, I don\u2019t have time to run a company. I\u2019m too stupid, dude. I can\u2019t even read a contract, what makes you think I can run an esports organization?\u201d [Timestamp: 24:40 for mobile viewers] Tfue likewise spoke out on the drama surrounding his \u201coppressive\u201d contract with FaZe, calling himself a \u201ccomplete and total fucking dumbass\u201d for signing the agreement while simultaneously arguing that he shouldn\u2019t have been given \u201can illegal contract to begin with.\u201d \u201cWhether you\u2019re in the music industry or in the gaming industry, you need your own lawyer,\u201d Tfue advised. \u201cYou need somebody to watch your back.
