Career
In 2021, Johnson reprised his role as Lamar alongside Shawn Fonteno (Franklin Clinton) in a live-action re-enactment of the ending cutscene of the Grand Theft Auto V mission "Franklin and Lamar," where Lamar berates (or "roasts") Franklin for his "yee-yee ass" haircut.[7] After days of fans posting their own takes on the famous cutscene, Shawn Fonteno and Slink Johnson weighed in.[8] The scene experienced a resurgence in popularity in late 2020 when parodies of the cutscene were uploaded on YouTube and other video hosting sites, usually involving Lamar's character model being replaced with various popular culture icons such as Darth Vader, Vegeta and Snow White among others.[9][10] Later that year, Fonteno and Johnson once again reprised their roles in The Contract DLC for Grand Theft Auto Online, complete with a homage to the original roast cutscene.[11]
