Banks shares FaZe\u2019s side of the story on Tfue lawsuit in emotional interview FaZe Clan \/ FaZe Banks – InstagramFaZe Clan founder Ricky \u201cFaZe Banks\u201d Banks went on KEEMSTAR\u2019s Drama Alert in an attempt to set the record straight about the recent lawsuit Turner \u2018Tfue\u2018 Tenney filed against FaZe Clan. The lawsuit, which was filed on May 20, alleges that the organization signed him to an oppressive contract that included an 80\/20 split in favor of FaZe Clan for the revenue from Tfue\u2019s branded content on social media. Following the announcement of the lawsuit, FaZe Clan denied the allegations, stating they have actually only taken $60,000 total through their partnership with the Fortnite Battle Royale pro and have taken nothing at all from his YouTube or Twitch revenue. Tfue filed a lawsuit against FaZe Clan. After vehemently denying the allegations and getting into a Twitter beef with 100 Thieves CEO Nadeshot, Banks echoed those earlier statements during his interview with KEEMSTAR on the May 20 edition of Drama Alert. \u201cWe have collected a grand total of 0% from Tfue\u2019s prize winnings,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have collected nothing from his Twitch, his YouTube, absolutely nothing.\u201d He then goes on to explain where the $60,000 the team collected from Tfue came from, which was noticeably absent from FaZe Clan\u2019s official statement on Twitter. FaZe Clan\u2019s response to today\u2019s press article regarding Tfue: pic.twitter.com\/eVdRVMnRpl \u2014 FaZe Clan (@FaZeClan) May 20, 2019 \u201cWhere the $60,000 comes from are two brand deals that we brought Tfue that we have taken 20% of,\u201d which falls in line with FaZe Clan\u2019s statement that they are only taking 20% of \u201ccontent revenue\u201d as opposed to the 80% Tfue\u2019s suit alleges. Moving away from the specifics of the lawsuit, Banks turned his attention to the \u201csnakes\u201d on Twitter discussing the situation. \u201cI\u2019m not going to name drop because I\u2019m pretty emotional right now,\u201d he said. \u201cThis situation specifically with Tfue really fucking fires me up because I\u2019ve been so invested in this kid since the day I fucking met him.\u201d Banks additionally claims that FaZe Clan have indeed offered Tfue a salary but he has not taken it. In response to the allegations Tfue was given alcohol before turning 21 and illegally gambling, Banks said he had no idea what that means. \u201cIllegally gamble,\u201d he asked. \u201c[I] don\u2019t know what that means, illegally gamble? I don\u2019t have a thought in my head about what that could be about.\u201d Banks then went into how Tfue only had about 100 viewers on Twitch and was a \u201cnobody.\u201d \u201cOne of my earliest memories of Turner was me in his DMs like \u2018Yo, you wanna play Fortnite?\u2019 when he was a nobody.\u201d FaZe Banks and Tfue. He goes on to explain how another one of his memories, before Tfue signed with FaZe, was him drinking on a boat before he was 21. \u201cOne of my earliest memories is him coming back home after being on a boat on all day,\u201d he said \u201d And he was drinking all day on a boat. This was far before we met him. Turner\u2019s drank far, far before we got together with him. He was never pressured to drink.\u201d Banks says Tfue was drinking the night he met Corinna Kopf, his current girlfriend, at a FaZe party where he was drinking. Tfue and Cloak are one of the most popular Duos in Fortnite. In response to the injury allegations, Banks says Tfue was doing stunts that could hurt himself before he ever signed to FaZe and argued he even pressured other people to do it. \u201cListen, this is just leverage for Turner to get out of his contract,\u201d he says. Banks argues he made Tfue happen by watching Ninja and Myth play and comparing them to Tfue. \u201c250,000 people were watching these people [Cloak and Tfue] yesterday and I made that happen,\u201d he said. \u201cYou can ask them that, I was the person who made that happen.\u201d In doing so, Banks also revealed what Cloak supposedly first thought of Tfue. \u201cThat kid\u2019s garbage, he doesn\u2019t know how to build and he\u2019s not who we want to pick up,\u201d Cloak said according to Banks. Despite all this, Banks still wishes the best for Tfue and just wants a phone call. I\u2019m getting off Twitter for a minute. I\u2019ve said all I need to say. As crazy as it might sound I still fucking love you dude @TTfue and I wish you nothing but the best. A phone call would be appreciated. \u2014 FaZe Banks (@Banks) May 20, 2019 There will certainly be a lot more to the story but now we have Banks\u2019 side of the story. Other than the lawsuit, Tfue has not released a statement since the story broke.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
