According to Fonteno, Cenat made the commitment during a stream but never followed through. Cenat has since reached out to Fonteno following the accusation, though specifics of their communication remain unclear. The incident has prompted Fonteno to distance himself professionally, stating he won't stream alongside Cenat again.
- Fonteno alleges Cenat promised a motorcycle to a struggling young fan on stream but failed to deliver on the commitment.
- Cenat reportedly contacted Fonteno after the public accusation, but the outcome of that exchange is undisclosed.
