Brian Rafat Awadis (born November 19, 1996), known online as FaZe Rug[1], is an American YouTuber who produces vlogs, challenges, gaming videos, and pranks on YouTube.
A former co-owner of FaZe Clan, he acquired his shares when the entertainment brand began distributing shares to the brand's biggest members. He had worked with them for 13 years.[2][3] Brian announced that he had left FaZe Clan through a post on X on December 27, 2025.[4]
Awadis and his older brother Brandon Awadis started a shared YouTube channel called "fathersonchaldean" on October 11, 2008, uploading their first video the same day. They uploaded at least three more videos by the end of 2009, at which point the channel became inactive, but is still on YouTube.[9][10] These videos depicted a stereotypical view of a Chaldean father's attitude towards his son.
Brian created his own YouTube channel on July 11, 2012, by the name Faze Rug[citation needed] on which he started posting short clips of Call of Duty gameplay.[11] He was invited to join the esports team FaZe Clan, which Awadis would eventually co-own, in January 2013. He uploaded his first prank video on December 7, 2014.[P 5]
In November 2019, Awadis released a song called "Goin' Live" and made a song with Omega ex, accompanied by a music video released in January 2020.[P 6]
