FaZe Apex

What happened to FaZe Apex? Is FaZe Apex still in FaZe?

No, as of November 2026 FaZe Apex is not in FaZe Clan: he announced he was leaving on December 27, 2025, Tubefilter and Dexerto reported. Dexerto says he left the same day as Rug and Swagg, two days after Adapt and others began the Christmas exits, and its FaZe roster page now lists him as a former member. On December 31, 2025 he posted “Why I Left FaZe Clan”, with the description “3/6/2011 - 12/27/2025.” As of November 3, 2026 that is still the newest upload on his channel, and we found no announcement that he has joined another team or group.

Why did FaZe Apex leave FaZe? Why was FaZe Apex kicked?

FaZe Apex left FaZe Clan by his own announcement on December 27, 2025, and we found no report that he was kicked. In his statement, as quoted by Tubefilter, he said FaZe’s “leadership shifted in a way that made it difficult for me to get involved again,” that it was “finally time to close this chapter,” and that he wished he had done more to keep things together. He did not name anyone. Tubefilter reported that the wider walkout followed six months of failed contract talks after DraftKings co-founder Matt Kalish took a 49% stake in FaZe for $11 million and pushed creators toward his new company, HardScope. The kicking people remember came earlier: in the April 2024 reboot, Banks removed members such as Blaze, Rain and Cizzorz, while Apex was one of 14 kept, per Dexerto. Apex later posted a video titled “I Called the Kicked FaZe Members” on November 4, 2024.

What happened to FaZe Apex’s old videos? Why did FaZe Apex delete his videos?

FaZe Apex has not said why, in anything we could source, and we found no press report about his older uploads. What is public: YouTube dates his channel to November 8, 2008, and Famous Birthdays describes it as his personal channel bananafone34, created that month. As of November 3, 2026 the channel lists 146 videos, and its Popular videos shelf is made up of uploads from November 2024 onward: his history video “What Happened to FaZe Clan?” from November 1, 2024, with about 548,000 views, and the Fame and Fortune interviews with guests such as Rug, Ninja, Adapt and Roman Atwood. If he explains what happened to the older videos on the record, this entry will say so.

Is FaZe Apex a founder of FaZe Clan?

FaZe Apex describes himself as the founder of FaZe Clan, and as of November 2026 his YouTube and TikTok bios both read “Founder of FaZe Clan.” FaZe’s own October 2023 press release called him one of the founders returning to lead the brand, and Dexerto called him a founding member when he left. The dates are worth knowing: the group began in 2010, which is the year Famous Birthdays gives for Temperrr founding it, and Apex dates his own FaZe years from March 6, 2011. His podcast has an episode in which Temperrr tells how FaZe began in 2010.

What was FaZe Apex’s role at FaZe? Was he an owner?

FaZe Apex was one of FaZe Clan’s owners and, from the GameSquare deal in October 2023, its chief operating officer. Tubefilter reported on October 20, 2023 that GameSquare was buying FaZe and that Banks would be CEO, Temperrr president and Apex COO, and Banks said in FaZe’s release that “with Tommy, Apex and me back in charge,” FaZe would return to its peak. When he left in December 2025, Tubefilter described him as a former co-owner and COO.
