FaZe Rain

What happened to FaZe Rain? What happened to his legs, and why was he in a wheelchair?

FaZe Rain used a wheelchair for months in 2020 and 2021 and was walking again by September 2021, per Dexerto. On March 12, 2021 he posted a video titled “I’ve been in a Wheelchair for 7 months and this is why...”, now past 2.6 million views. Dexerto reported on September 27, 2021 that he had said he was working with top doctors to walk again, was in severe pain and could not put weight on his legs, and that on September 26, 2021 he posted an Instagram video of himself walking. In March 2022 he told Dexerto, “Obviously, I’ve been hurt.” He has not given a medical diagnosis in anything we sourced, and we do not offer one. The cause he described touches topics this index does not cover.

Why did FaZe Rain get paralyzed? Is FaZe Rain still in a wheelchair?

FaZe Rain has not described a diagnosis in anything we sourced, so we do not call it paralysis or name a cause. What is public: he said in March 2021 that he could not put weight on his legs, and Dexerto reported that he posted video of himself walking on September 26, 2021. We found no later report, as of November 2026, that he is using a wheelchair again.

Why did FaZe Rain get kicked? Was he kicked from FaZe?

FaZe Rain was kicked out of the FaZe house in May 2020, by his own posts, and in April 2024 Dexerto listed him among the creators removed from FaZe Clan itself. On May 28, 2020, Dexerto reported that he tweeted he had been “kicked out” of the house, and wrote, “It’s 100% my fault. Don’t blame FaZe.” FaZe co-founder Banks pushed back on a fan’s explanation for the move and did not give another reason; Dexerto said full details had not been revealed. On March 28, 2021 he posted a video titled “Why I Got Kicked From FaZe”, now past 2.1 million views. We have not verified what he says in it, so we do not characterize it. In March 2022, Dexerto still described him as one of FaZe’s 10 co-owners. On April 27, 2024, when Banks rebooted the roster, Dexerto listed Rain among the 17 creators no longer with FaZe, without a reason for him.

Why did FaZe Rain leave FaZe? Is FaZe Rain still in FaZe?

As of November 2026, FaZe Rain is not in FaZe Clan: Dexerto listed him among the 17 creators removed in the April 27, 2024 reboot, and on a September 14, 2025 livestream he said he had left, Dexerto reported. On that stream he made claims about fellow co-founder Temperrr and said, “Part of the reason I left FaZe was because of it.” Temperrr denied the claims and said Rain had raised them a year earlier to get money out of FaZe, which Temperrr called blackmail. FaZe posted a creator roster without Temperrr on September 15, 2025, and on September 16 Rain posted a video retracting the claims and apologizing, per Dexerto. What the claims were is not something we cover. We found no FaZe statement of its own about Rain’s exit, and Dexerto’s roundup of the December 2025 creator walkout did not list him.

What did FaZe Rain say about FaZe Clan? What happened with Grace Van Dien?

FaZe Rain spent 2022 and 2023 publicly criticizing how FaZe Clan was run. On December 10, 2022 he posted “Exposing FaZe Clan”, and on March 22, 2023 Tubefilter reported that he claimed FaZe had under-compensated him for branded content and had threatened legal action, as FaZe’s stock sat at 46 cents a share; Teeqo made his own complaints the same month. In May 2023 he publicly objected to FaZe signing actress Grace Van Dien, then met her and posted “FaZe Rain Meets Up With Grace” on May 31, 2023, and FaZe issued a statement backing her, saying “the mistreatment of our newest member is in no way OK,” per Dexerto. In July 2023 he said on Raw Talk that he would “love” for Kick to buy FaZe, per Dexerto.

Esports.gg reported that FaZe moved him to the bench in September 2025 after 3,541 days on the roster and that he joined 100 Thieves in November 2025. This entry is about Nordan Shat, the FaZe Clan YouTuber and co-owner.

What is the connection between FaZe Rain and Stable Ronaldo?

FaZe Rain spoke for FaZe Clan when it signed Stable Ronaldo in June 2022. Tubefilter quoted Rain’s statement, “We are excited to bring in FaZe Ronaldo and welcome him into the FaZe family,” and reported that Rain, Adapt and other FaZe creators threw him a welcome party at the FaZe Warehouse. Stable Ronaldo left FaZe on December 25, 2025, per Dexerto. We found no report in an outlet we accept of a dispute between the two, so we do not repeat claims from elsewhere.

Who represents FaZe Rain?

As of November 2026, no agent or manager is named publicly for FaZe Rain that we could find.

If that changes, this entry will say so.
