The record
Turner Tenney, who streams as Tfue, built his following on Fortnite and on Twitch. His record outside the FaZe Clan dispute is mostly platform actions and career moves. In 2018 Twitch gave him a 30-day suspension after he used a racial slur about another player on stream; he said he did not mean it in a racist way and apologized to anyone he offended.
In May 2019 his lawyer took a complaint against FaZe Clan to the California Labor Commissioner, alleging the group's gamer agreement let it take up to 80% of his branded-content earnings and raising health and safety issues. FaZe said it had taken no more than 20%, about $60,000 from $300,000 in brand deals. How the dispute ended is not established in the sources here.
He retired from content creation in June 2023 after completing his Twitch deal, then returned that November on Kick. In December 2025 he streamed again on Twitch after more than a year away, with a 15-hour stream that peaked near 20,000 viewers, Dexerto reported. In January 2026 he announced a 30-day ban from the game ARC Raiders that was lifted in under 24 hours.
