FaZe Kay recently responded to accusations surrounding the FaZe clan’s promotion of “shady” cryptocurrencies. In the past year, investing in cryptocurrency has become more popularized. The new trend has resulted in influencers promoting certain coins to their followers.
Recently, FaZe Clan and a plethora of other influencers have come under fire for backing a ‘Save the Kids’ coin that, according to YouTuber OrdinaryGamers, has a suspicious background to it.
FaZe Kay took to Twitter to share an apology for promoting the coin. “I want you all to know that I had no ill intent promoting any crypto alt coins. I honestly & naively thought we all had a chance to win which just isn’t the case,” he wrote. “I didn’t vet any of this with my team at FaZe and I now know I should have.”

I'm really struggling with the fact that I let you all down & more importantly anyone whose trust I've lost. My fans mean the world to me and I wouldn’t be where I am today without you.
