When did PlaqueBoyMax join FaZe Clan?
PlaqueBoyMax (born Maxwell Elliot Dent) joined FaZe Clan in April 2024. During his time with FaZe, he gained notoriety for his popular In the Booth series of videos, where he would record music live on Twitch with artists such as 41, Lazer Dim 700, Ian, and DDG. Viewers would tune in to watch his creative process and give real-time feedback.

Why did PlaqueBoyMax leave FaZe Clan?
Max did not immediately provide a reason for leaving FaZe Clan. However, evidence online suggests that the 22-year-old producer and rapper may have been ready to focus more on his promising music career. His album, Five Forever, hit streaming platforms in May.
Max’s departure comes nearly a week after FaZe Banks stepped down from his role as a CEO of the organization over a meme crypto coin scandal. Last November, the two appeared together on Complex’s GOAT Talk for an episode recorded live at ComplexCon.
