Adin Ross wants to join FaZe Clan after Banks becomes CEO
On March 4, Banks joined Adin Ross on his Kick stream. While he remained rather tight-lipped when discussing details of what’s next for FaZe, Adin put out a proposition.
The Kick star showed interest in joining the FaZe, asking his former roommate Banks for equity in the organization. “I think you should give me equity in FaZe and let me do my own thing, trust me,” he said.
And it’s fair to say it looks like Banks is open to the idea. “I think there’s definitely a conversation to be had,” he replied.
Later in the stream, Adin brought up the idea again. “Seriously, real sh*t if you need me to join FaZe, give me some equity and I’ll rep,” he said. However, according to Banks, Adin already reps the org enough, and is part of the “fam.”
Immediately, he outlined his first steps as CEO, stating in a social media post on February 27that staff would be “fired.”
As it stands, FaZe’s future remains unclear, with Banks explaining the organization will be “mellow” for while they figure out what’s next. Although he claims “sh*ts going to get dark.”
