Twitch streamer Mizkif is once again in hot water, but this time, for being banned from FaZe Clan’s hyped 4th of July party. FaZe’s Silky publicly called him out for past “racist” behaviour, pulling the plug on Mizkif’s invite. But Mizkif isn’t fighting back. Instead, he’s owning his past and calling himself a changed man.
Silky Pulls the Plug on Mizkif’s Invite
It all started when Mizkif was set to attend FaZe’s massive Fourth of July party, with fellow streamers like Ludwig, QTCinderella, and even Plaqueboymax expected to be there. But things took a turn when FaZe member Silky made it clear that Mizkif was not welcome.
Live on stream, Silky didn’t hold back, saying he had no interest in “weird people” and didn’t want someone with a “racist past” at the FaZe House. The invite, originally extended by FaZe’s Lacy, was publicly revoked.
Mizkif’s Response: “I Get It”
Unlike what you might expect, Mizkif didn’t throw shade back. In fact, during a recent stream, he said he
understands where Silky is coming from.
“I don’t blame Silky for what he said... It’s understandable,” he admitted.
He didn’t deny the past. In fact, he leaned into it. Mizkif admitted to saying dumb things when he was younger, just like, according to him, “
everyone else in the industry back then.” But his main message was this: That’s not who I am anymore.
“I Was 22. I’m 30 Now.”
Mizkif addressed the elephant in the room directly—his past use of racial slurs.
“I said this sh** when I was twenty-two,” he confessed.
“But I'm a completely different person than what I was when I was twenty-two.”He also pointed out the hypocrisy that many content creators have a messy past. Without naming names, he mentioned FaZe Banks and others, suggesting that growth is part of being online for years.
Fans Are Divided (As Always)
Twitter, Reddit, and Twitch chats are all split. Some people are backing Silky’s move, saying there’s no excuse, ever. Others believe in second chances and feel Mizkif has shown enough growth over the years to deserve one.
No word yet on whether Silky and Mizkif will actually talk things out. Mizkif says he’s open to a conversation—but the ball’s in Silky’s court. One thing’s for sure though: this drama has put FaZe’s 4th of July bash on everyone’s radar for reasons no one expected. Whether Mizkif ends up at the party or not, the real fireworks have already started.
