Nicholas Fosco (born 2003), also known as Lacy and FaZe Lacy, is an American Twitch streamer and content creator. He is known for livestreams centered on Fortnite, variety content, and IRL (in-real-life) broadcasts. He was a member of FaZe Clan from 2024 to 2025.
Lacy began streaming on Twitch in 2020, primarily focusing on Fortnite. He initially streamed for extended periods with little to no viewership before building an audience through collaborations with other streamers. His early growth was attributed partially to viral clips with larger streamers such as Clix.
In 2023, Lacy gained wider attention during a subathon livestream in which he shaved his head and eyebrows after a large donation that was later refunded as reported by Kotaku.
Lacy joined FaZe Clan in May 2024, alongside creators including PlaqueBoyMax, Jasontheween, and Silky, during a broader restructuring of the organizationâÂÂs creator roster.
As a member of FaZe Clan, Lacy appeared in collaborative livestreams, group content, and promotional campaigns. In November 2024, he was included in a promotional campaign with Popeyes, which released âÂÂstreamer bundleâ meals named after multiple streamers, including Fosco.
In May 2025, FaZe co-owner Richard "Banks" Bengtson stated that Lacy was no longer part of the organization. Lacy later said on livestream that the departure was genuine, however he was reinstated within 2 weeks.
In December 2025, Lacy officially left FaZe Clan as part of a broader wave of departures involving multiple creators, including Stable Ronaldo, Silky, and JasonTheWeen. The departures occurred during a period of organizational restructuring and contract disputes within FaZe Clan.
In addition to gaming, Lacy became known for IRL livestreams, often broadcasting from public locations and events.
In July 2024, Lacy appeared in a widely publicized livestream in Miami alongside fellow streamer Clix, during which a missing Michigan teenager was recognized by his brother while watching the broadcast and was later found safe.
In December 2024, he hosted Lacy's League, an official fortnite-backed tournament with a $25,000 prize pool featuring creators and professional players.
In February 2026, Lacy appeared at a promotional basketball event hosted by Luka DonÃÂiÃÂ where he jokingly asked Los Angeles Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka for a 10-day contract, to which Pelinka responded humorously, which was streamed live and later became a viral clip circulated on the internet.
In March 2026, Newsweek reported on LacyâÂÂs attempts to attend games during the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament, including an incident in which he discovered that promised premium seating had come from a viewer impersonating an official source.
In January 2026, Lacy appeared in a livestream with former NFL player Naquan Jones, during which Jones threw him into a swimming pool in a clip that circulated widely online.
Lacy has been involved in several widely reported livestream-related incidents.
In January 2025, his Twitch account was briefly suspended after his channel was hacked and broadcast explicit content. The account was restored shortly afterward, prompting criticism from some online commentators about TwitchâÂÂs moderation practices.
Lacy was referenced by streamer Fousey during a livestream in which Fousey criticized several online creators, including Lacy, Kai Cenat, and PlaqueBoyMax.
In 2025, he and Clix launched a product called TapCap; the announcement received mixed reactions online over its pricing.
Also in 2025, Lacy drew criticism following remarks directed at streamer xQc after xQc won "Streamer of the Decade" at the Esports Awards.
During a "Sisathon" stream hosted by streamer Valkyrae, Lacy faced backlash after using an ableist slur on-air and later issued a public apology.
In March 2026, Lacy attended games during the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament in Houston. He claimed he had been banned from streaming inside the venue, although footage indicated that security had instructed him to either stop filming or leave his seat, leading to what he later described as a misunderstanding.
Lacy was born in Erie, Pennsylvania, in 2003. He grew up alongside his brother Lucas Fosco, who is also a streamer on Twitch.
He has occasionally discussed aspects of his personal finances and living arrangements during livestreams. In 2025, online publications reported on his comments about paying rent after having lived rent-free for two years, and on his reaction to a large tax bill.
