Lacey breaks off from FaZe Clan: What's shocking him so far
The ES Times — At first, it sounded like a joke. Now it's official: Nick "Lacy" Fosco is no longer part of FaZe Clan.
The announcement came straight from Ricky 'Banks' Bengston during a livestream on May 6, when he bluntly declared, 'Lacy is fired from FaZe. Not kidding.' The clip quickly went viral, racking up over 7.4 million views and sparking widespread speculation.
No official reason
Despite the public fallout, no clear reason has been provided by either Banks or Lacy. Lacy briefly addressed the matter during a Twitch stream, saying, 'I know everyone thinks it's just a joke. It's not. This is very serious,' before abruptly ending the stream.
Various speculations
As expected, online speculation intensified. While Lacy hasn't made any public demands of FaZe Clan, the silence from his inner circle has only deepened the mystery. Even Rani — a close friend and known associate of streamer 'StableRonaldo' Netz — has remained quiet. Viewers have noticed the lack of updates or statements across Twitch and other platforms.
What's next?
The next big public appearance for Lacy is expected at the Fortnite FNCS Pro-Am on May 10 in Los Angeles, where he's set to appear alongside StableRonaldo. Some believe this could be the moment when more details are revealed.
Is there a bigger change coming?
One theory making the rounds is that this might be part of a larger shift involving FaZe Clan and AMP. Speculation intensified after both Lacy and Fanum — a streamer closely tied to AMP — were suddenly wiped from their respective social media accounts. Banks himself even responded to a cryptic post from Fanum, further stoking the fire.
Final word
For now, there are more questions than answers. Given FaZe Clan's history of dramatic exits and shakeups, this could either be a genuine fallout or part of a larger strategic move. Whether it's a feud, a brand shift, or a carefully staged stunt, fans won't have to wait long to find out.
