Founded in 2010, FaZe Clan is a top esports and entertainment company. The organization aims to engage with its millions of fans through top influencers as members, and its roster now includes hip-hop artist Snoop Dogg. Who owns FaZe Clan leading up to its debut on the Nasdaq?
FaZe Clan was founded as FaZe Sniping by gamers Eric "CLipZ" Rivera, Jeff "House Cat" Emann, and Ben "Resistance" Christensen, who began with the creation of gaming montages. “House Cat” now is known as “Timid.” By 2012, the YouTube channel had over 1 million subscribers.
According to Forbes, FaZe Clan's net worth was estimated at $305 million in 2020, which makes it the fourth-most valuable esports company. It follows #1 TSM, #2 Cloud9, and #3 TeamLiquid. The upcoming IPO merger could value the newly combined company at $1 billion.

Known for his decades as a hip-hop artist in the music industry (and recent halftime appearance in Super Bowl LVI), Snoop Dogg is also a gamer who launched his own esports league and has recently announced his new membership in FaZe Clan. He’ll go by the moniker FaZe Snoop within the gaming universe.
Snoop Dogg has produced hit rap and hip-hop content for 30 years. With about 35 million in worldwide album sales, the entertainer also leads an active entrepreneurial life. He revealed himself last fall as Cozomo de’ Medici, with an over $17 million NFT collection.
Snoop Dogg, or FaZe Snoop, said that his son Cordell Broadus helped inspire him to join the organization, according to PCGamer. Cordell said of his father, “When I look at the two brands, I was inspired by the synergy they could create so I brought them together in this partnership.”
As a part of FaZe Clan, Snoop Dogg will be involved in creation of content, merchandise launches, and other business initiatives.
