The director of the FaZe Clan, known by his online persona, initially rose to prominence through a series of prank videos that captured widespread attention. Over time, he expanded his content to include vlogs and gameplay videos centered around Call of Duty, which he uploads to his self-titled YouTube channel. This channel has amassed a massive following, with more than 27 million subscribers to date. Among his most-watched videos is the infamous “Cocaine Prank,” which has garnered over 22 million views and remains a standout piece in his catalog.
Before achieving online fame, he was just a regular college student starting his first year when his YouTube channel unexpectedly began gaining traction. After just a few months of balancing school and content creation, he made the bold decision to pursue YouTube full-time, a move that ultimately defined his career. His real name is Brian Awadis, though many of his fans know him best by his online moniker.
Throughout his journey, Brian has often included his loved ones in his content. His brother Brandon, as well as his parents, have made appearances in various videos, such as the popular 2016 post titled “NEW YEARS FAMILY PARTY!!,” uploaded on January 1st of that year. His parents, affectionately referred to as Mama Rug and Papa Rug in his videos, come from Assyrian and Chaldean backgrounds, adding a unique cultural flavor to his storytelling.
In terms of personal life, Brian has previously been in the spotlight for his relationship with fellow YouTuber Molly Eskam. Later, he was in a high-profile relationship with social media personality Baeeeeelyn, with whom he shared many moments online. However, in May 2021, the couple announced their decision to part ways, marking the end of their public romance.
Throughout it all, Brian has maintained a strong connection with his audience, consistently evolving his content while staying true to his roots and the community that helped him rise to fame.
His most-watched videos on his popular YouTube channel tend to be vlogs and prank videos, which have gained more traction compared to his Call of Duty content. In 2020, he took on a role playing himself in the feature film Crimson. Additionally, he made a guest appearance in a Season 17 episode of the MTV show Ridiculousness, where he was featured as a special guest.
