GTA 5 Franklin actor accuses Kai Cenat of breaking promise to kid and won’t stream with him again

Shawn Fonteno, the actor behind Franklin in GTA 5, is calling out Kai Cenat. Dexerto's report says Fonteno claims Kai promised a kid from a struggling family a motorcycle during a stream and then never made good on it. Fonteno says he won't stream with Kai again.

I can see why this would set him off. A promise like that on a stream with a huge audience isn't a small thing. The kid probably watched that clip over and over. Then nothing. When someone like Fonteno says he's done, it's not nothing.

This is GTA 5 stuff, not 6, but the crossover between actors and streamers is always going to get attention here. Kai's got a massive following and Fonteno is basically GTA royalty to a lot of people. Seeing them split over something like this is weird. I'm not picking sides without more details, but if the report is accurate, I get why Fonteno wouldn't want to share a stream with him again.

If you promise a kid something in front of a huge audience, you follow through. That's the whole deal. I once forgot a promise to get my son a new controller and he brought it up daily for a month. Kids don't forget this stuff. Good on Fonteno for saying it out loud.

ok so not GTA 6 related but franklin's voice actor calling out a streamer over a broken promise kinda rules. you don't dangle a motorcycle in front of a struggling kid for content and then just never follow up, that's a clip that lives forever. BigMike nailed it, kids don't forget this stuff. weird timeline where GTA royalty beefs with twitch guys though.
