Lacy (streamer)
Nicholas Darryl Fosco (born February 18, 2003), known online as Lacy, is an American Twitch streamer and YouTuber based in Los Angeles, California. He began his streaming career broadcasting Fortnite being primarily known for his energetic and unorthodox personality. Fosco rose to fame through his association with fellow streamer Clix and joined the professional gaming organization FaZe Clan in May 2024 during its brand restructuring. He announced his departure from FaZe on December 25, 2025.
Early life
Nicholas Darryl Fosco was born on February 18, 2003 in Erie, Pennsylvania. Growing up, his parents restricted violent video games, like Call of Duty, when he was young leading him to pursue basketball and golf during his early years. In high school, he discovered Fortnite on Xbox and asked his parents for a gaming PC as a Christmas gift, which was inspired to begin a career in live streaming. He attended Mercyhurst Preparatory School and graduated in 2021.
Career
Fosco began live-streaming on his Twitch account on May 26, 2020. His younger brother, Lucas, encouraged him to keep streaming and pursue it as a career. After graduating high school, Fosco attempted to attend college for pre-law while working as a dishwasher at Panera Bread and a self-checkout attendant at Walmart. Fosco later gained attention in the gaming community by trolling popular streamers such as Clix, often provoking reactions that went viral on platforms like TikTok. Balancing college and two jobs became overwhelming, and Fosco made an agreement to drop out at the end of the semester and move back home. After showing his father his Twitch earnings and bank account, his father became supportive and allowed him to leave college. In April 2023, Fosco moved to Dallas, Texas and lived with Clix, who helped cover his rent.
On April 27, 2024, Richard "Banks" Bengtson removed several members from FaZe Clan as part of an effort to "reboot" the organization, with Fosco being one of the new streamers signed to the organization. On July 5, 2024, Troy Coleman, a 17-year-old from Michigan who had been missing for several months, was discovered after randomly appearing on a Miami livestream hosted by Fosco and Clix. In December 2024, FaZe was nominated for Best Marathon Stream and won Best Content Organization at The Streamer Awards. The following year, FaZe won Best Content Organization for the second time in a row.
On December 25, 2025, Lacy announced his departure from FaZe Clan on X, without providing a public explanation. Several other members, including Adapt, Stable Ronaldo, JasonTheWeen, and Silky, also exited the organization around the same time.
Personal life
Fosco is currently in a relationship with online creator Darla Claire as of 2026. The couple previously broke up in 2024.
In December 2024, Fosco went viral for a dramatic one-year physical transformation, fulfilling his goal to lose significant weight and improve his health after joining FaZe Clan.
Raised in a Catholic household, Fosco maintains his faith in God despite no longer attending church.
