GTA 5 actor Shawn Fonteno says Kai Cenat reached out after Franklin’s actor accused him of failing to buy a young fan from a struggling family a motorcycle after promising him one on stream.
Fonteno, who plays Franklin Clinton in Rockstar’s blockbuster game, appeared on Cenat’s Mafiathon 2 in November 2024. The actor previously opened up to Kai about his life before GTA and why playing Franklin came naturally to him.
The pair streamed together again shortly afterwards, with Fonteno taking Cenat through the real Los Angeles neighborhoods that inspired locations in GTA 5.
However, Fonteno says the experience ended badly after Cenat allegedly broke a promise to a child they met during the broadcast.
Speaking on the Dope As Usual podcast, Fonteno said the group visited a struggling family who had around 15 people living in a one-bedroom home.
According to the actor, a young boy told Cenat he was a huge fan before asking the Twitch star for a motorcycle. Cenat allegedly responded: “We’re going to make it happen.”
Fonteno estimated that the bike would have cost roughly $1,000 to $1,200. He said he repeatedly contacted Cenat and his team in the following weeks, urging them to honor the promise before Christmas.
“He just ignored me,” Fonteno claimed, adding that the child repeatedly asked whether his bike was still coming.
