Silky was recently seen having a heartfelt moment with Lacy on Twitch after the latter was ousted from FaZe Clan. In the viral video circulating on social media, Silky can be seen encouraging the former FaZe Clan member not to give up and keep pushing on after Lacy mentioned that he was really upset about the recent turn of events.

The events unfolded after FaZe Banks dropped the news on social media that Lacy would be kicked out of FaZe Clan, creating a stir on social media about the reason for the removal, with many believing it to be a publicity stunt. Lacy then went on to clear the air by saying:

"This sh*t in the chat, about FaZe, I will say it's not a joke, it's not a troll. I know everyone thinks it's a big joke, but it's not. It's some serious sh*t but it's sh*t that's going to be handled off stream so I am not going to even talk about it, or address it at all. And I am just going to move on with my stream and push forward"

Regardless of the reasons, the news of getting the boot from FaZe Clan hit the Twitch streamer really hard, and his moment of camaraderie with Silky became a talking point on social media, with many coming forward to give props to Silky for standing by his friend in his time of need:

"You can see lacy got very few people who are real ones cause I haven’t seen many be there for him rn", commented one fan.
"Silky is one of the most genuine people you could meet, he’s always there for everyone", complimented another.
"True friendship right here. It’s not easy, but having people like Silky around makes all the difference", added another fan.

Others took to expressing their astonishment at Lacy's surprising ejection from FaZe Clan:

"Man this is so shocking. Lacy never had any outbursts. He was so calm and coolheaded", remarked one fan.
"So we’re just acting like FaZe didn’t toss him out over something petty? Ain’t no way Lacy’s sit down is making this look better", another fan chimed in.
"It you truly believe this then it confirms you are under the age of 15", stated another skeptical fan.

The aftermath of the incident

While the announcement of Lacy's dismissal from FaZe Clan did surprise a lot of people, the situation was still viewed with a hint of skepticism, especially with the organization's reputation for making things dramatic. It turns out this skepticism was not unwarranted, as reportedly, Lacy has since been reinstated to FaZe Clan after he sorted things out with FaZe Banks. He then shed light on the matters on his Twitch stream:

"Everything I handled off stream chat, and from now on, hopefully sh*t does not get brought to the internet when there is a disagreement. I promise you all that sh*t was out of script, it was not fake. It doesn't matter what happened, it was literally, honestly, a super dumb disagreement on something really dumb that boiled over and blew up. It was really dumb."
"Chat, it was literally about a video shoot. It was so dumb. Okay, I do want to clear this up because I do want to clear my name. I saw people saying that it was because I got a deal, or I got signed to something or I signed a deal that wasn't good for FaZe. I don't know where that narrative came from. That's not what happened. It had nothing to do with money, it had nothing to do with the viewers, it had nothing to do with a deal."

While the details of his brief removal from FaZe Clan are now clear, the wholesome moment between Lacy and Silk still stood out amongst the fans, as it underscored the importance of support systems in the face of intense public scrutiny.
