Playing Lamar Davis in Grand Theft Auto V

Slink Johnson voiced the character Lamar Davis in the 2013 video game Grand Theft Auto V. Lamar is a very memorable character from the game.

In 2021, Slink Johnson played Lamar again. He teamed up with Shawn Fonteno, who voiced Franklin Clinton in the same game. They recreated a famous scene from the game in real life. In this scene, Lamar playfully "roasts" Franklin. To "roast" someone means to make fun of them in a funny, friendly way.

This original game scene became very popular online. Many people made funny imitations, or parodies, of it. They often replaced Lamar's character with other famous characters. Later in 2021, Slink Johnson and Shawn Fonteno worked together again. They played their characters in new downloadable content for Grand Theft Auto Online.
