FaZe Clan Controversy: Banks Addresses Racial Slur Incident and Departure of Members
Banks has acknowledged using a racial slur towards PlaqueBoyMax while explaining the departure of several members from FaZe Clan. In a video released by the group's former leader, Banks claimed that he made the comment in an emotional moment and not with racist intent. Adin Ross supported Banks, stating that using the word in a non-racist context among friends is acceptable.
The controversy arose when PlaqueBoyMax's cousin, Fatboydip, revealed that Max left the group because Banks had called him the racial slur. This revelation led to the departure of several FaZe Clan members, who cited lack of control and feeling like puppets as reasons for leaving. Max also criticized the group's members for their fake relationships and egos.
Banks, who left FaZe Clan in August, distanced himself from the recent turmoil within the organization, stating that he had moved on from the group. He expressed disappointment in the behavior of some members and offered his support to those involved. Despite the disagreements and tensions, Banks emphasized his love for FaZe Clan and wished everyone well.
