While Kalei may have some spicy tweets, she tends to stick to her own lane and not get involved with drama, leaving many people confused with Activision’s decision.

In fact, when she signed with FaZe Clan in June, she revealed that the organization encourages her to continue with her wild tweets.

Kalei recently announced that she is “done” competing in public Warzone events and taking a step back after she encountered 11 cheaters during a tournament. She later said on stream after the tournament “I just want people to understand the current state of Warzone and what us competitors are dealing with.”
