Did Faze Banks shame Adam22 on his podcast? Watch the creators clash
The May 13, 2021 No Jumper episode between FaZe Banks, Mike Majlak, and Adam22 remains one of the more memorable clashes in early 2020s creator culture. What began as a casual conversation about recent projects turned into a pointed back-and-forth about online behavior, personal associations, and double standards. Years later, the exchange still circulates in archival clips, though both hosts have moved through significant professional changes since that afternoon.
#StopBullying
The tension centered on a roughly forty-second exchange inside the longer interview. Mike Majlak called out Trisha Paytas and Ethan Klein for what he described as bullying behavior online. FaZe Banks agreed with the assessment. Adam22 pushed back, noting he had previously collaborated with Paytas and considered her a decent person. The other two questioned the defense, especially because the work in question involved OnlyFans content. Later in the same segment, Banks mentioned liking Jason Nash, Paytas’s former partner and a longtime David Dobrik associate. Listeners quickly flagged the apparent inconsistency in how the three men applied their standards. The Paytas and Klein discussion is now viewed as a 2021 snapshot; Paytas has since married, welcomed three children, and announced interest in a 2026 congressional run in California, while FaZe Banks has pursued an independent path away from his former organization.
Twitter doesn’t forget
Reactions on the platform captured the immediate 2021 discourse, with users noting perceived contradictions and weighing in on the personal jabs. The comments reflected the tone of early Twitter-era creator drama rather than any sustained current conversation. Since then, similar discussions have spread across multiple platforms, including YouTube comments, Twitch chats, and newer iterations of X, yet the original thread remains a fixed record of that moment.
FaZe Banks' Post-FaZe Career Moves
FaZe Banks stepped away from FaZe Clan and began addressing former members publicly in late 2025. He has since emphasized building new projects outside the group structure. In 2026 updates, he announced plans for regular independent streaming starting around April, positioning himself as a solo creator focused on fresh content rather than collective esports branding.
Adam22 and No Jumper's Business Evolution
Adam22 announced layoffs and downsizing at No Jumper in April 2025 after losing Instagram support and navigating several lawsuits. The podcast continues in a reduced format, with ongoing releases into 2026. The operation remains smaller than its earlier peak, yet the platform still releases episodes that draw on its established audience.
Where Are They Now: Key Figures from the Interview
Trisha Paytas appears in the 2021 clip as a topic of debate; she is now married with three children and has signaled interest in entering politics. Ethan Klein continues producing the H3 Podcast and maintains an active public commentary presence. Jason Nash receives only historical mention tied to the original discussion, with no major new developments connected to this particular story.
Creator Beefs in the Streaming Era
Online conflicts have moved from primarily Twitter-driven exchanges to multi-platform exchanges that play out on YouTube, Twitch, podcasts, and X. Both FaZe Banks and Adam22 remain active in content creation despite organizational shifts and business adjustments. The 2021 interview stands as one early example of how quickly personal disagreements could dominate creator discourse before the landscape expanded.
The episode itself has not produced documented follow-up clashes between the participants in the years since. It functions now as a period piece that illustrates how quickly assumptions about online behavior could escalate inside a single conversation. Listeners returning to the clip often note how much the surrounding industry and the people involved have shifted since that afternoon in 2021.
