Banks Mocks PlaqueBoyMax Super Bowl Halftime Dream
FaZe Banks and Cuffem both weigh in after PlaqueBoyMax vows to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show.
Updated on Nov. 6, 2026 in Hip-Hop and Rap
Former FaZe Clan member PlaqueBoyMax posted on November 1 that he will perform at the Super Bowl halftime show before he dies. FaZe Banks responded on his stream, telling Max to fire anyone feeding him the idea and calling him a complete meme behind the scenes.
Why it matters
The exchange highlights public skepticism about Max's ambitions, as no sign exists that he is booked for any Super Bowl performance. It also recalls his February 2025 criticism of Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl LIX halftime performance.
The only documented commercial benchmark cited is that no Super Bowl halftime booking for Max has been reported, with no official performance confirmation or ticketed event on record. Whether Max's ambitions will progress beyond social media statements has not been addressed by either party.
The players

FaZe Banks
One of FaZe Clan's best-known figures, FaZe Banks is an influential personality in online streaming and internet culture.
Cuffem
A streamer who commented on the Banks and Max exchange on his own stream, Cuffem is known for his commentary in online gaming and creator circles.
The details
Banks made his remarks on his stream while speaking directly to Max, saying Max's fans tell him his work is good when he knows it is not.

Cuffem, who watched the exchange on his own stream, advised Max to take a page out of Silky's book and stay quiet about his plans.
Timeline
February 2025: Max criticized Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl LIX halftime show.
November 1: Max posted his promise to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show.
Days after November 1: Banks criticized Max over the halftime show ambition.
Industry Dynamics
The dispute reflects a broader pattern in which creators from the FaZe Clan ecosystem use livestreams and social posts to contest status in hip-hop and entertainment. Max's public bid for a Super Bowl halftime slot sits within that streaming-driven competition for attention rather than traditional label or booking channels.
For listeners and viewers, the dispute itself changes nothing about how to watch the Super Bowl halftime show, which is not affected by Max's statements. Fans who want to follow the feud can do so through Banks's and Cuffem's streams, where the exchange was recorded.
The takeaway
Public promises of major stage appearances are easy to post but carry little weight until a booking is confirmed. Readers should treat unconfirmed performance claims with the same skepticism applied to the commentary around them.
