The news will no doubt come as a great surprise for fans, who have already watched some very entertaining moments from the rap legend, such as when he rage-quit Madden NFL 21.
In a statement on its website, FaZe clan said: "The organic relationship between FaZe and Snoop has been building for years now, so we are thrilled to officially welcome FaZe Snoop to the family. As the original internet kid and first generation gamer, Snoop has always understood the cultural connection between music, lifestyle and gaming."
The statement also revealed that it was, in fact, Snoop's son Cordell Broadus who had the idea for the partnership. Speaking about his decision, Broadus claimed: "As I've been watching what FaZe Clan has been building in the gaming space, I knew there was a natural connection with what my dad has been doing." He further claimed he was "inspired by the synergy they could create" and that he couldn't "wait for the world to see" what they have planned.
