Dream shares apologetic DMs from Nicolas Cantu after viral clip exposed harmful rant DexertoDream just released a thoroughly detailed recount of his interactions with voice actor Nicolas Cantu, weeks after their viral exchange took the internet by storm and damaged both of their reputations for different reasons. Back in November 2023, Dream posted a video on X (formerly known as Twitter) revealing an Uber drive involving Nicolas Cantu. The 20-year-old voice actor responsible for the likes of Leonardo in this year\u2019s TMNT: Mutant Mayhem, was shown in a troublesome light. \u201cBeing homophobic, antisemitic, ableist, and threatening to kill me,\u201d Dream captioned his post at the time, a video that\u2019s since gone on to accrue north of 130 million views. \u201cThis is after he physically assaulted me,\u201d the popular content creator added to his explanation. However, as Cantu was under the legal drinking age at the time of the recording, with the voice actor explicitly confirming he was drunk that night, many on social media quickly turned their attention to Dream. Amid a sea of grooming allegations against him, some questioned why he was involved in the first place. Now looking to clear the air once and for all, Dream just released an 80-minute video covering all manner of accusations leveled against him in recent years. Not only that, but a supplemental 50-minute video also shared an entire interview with the Uber driver involved on the night of the Cantu incident. \u201cI had a terrible experience with this person,\u201d Dream began in the section of his video recounting the Cantu controversy. \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever gotten more hate in my life,\u201d he then said of the fallout after sharing the video online back in November. Detailing a \u201cfriend\u2019s party\u201d he went to in Austin, Texas, Dream claimed by the time he arrived, Cantu was \u201calready drunk.\u201d Although the two had allegedly never met until that night, Dream alleged the voice actor was immediately \u201caggressive\u201d towards him, adding he even \u201chit [him] out of nowhere.\u201d Later that evening, a few from the party jumped in a shared Uber ride, which is where the original recording stems from. Lashing out at others in the vehicle, including the driver, Cantu went on a heated tirade that previously went viral across social media. What the internet didn\u2019t see shortly after, however, was a series of DMs between Dream and Cantu, which have now been revealed as part of the lengthy expos\u00e9 on YouTube. Of which, Dream has pledged all profits from the video will go to the Joyful Heart Foundation. Dream discusses the Cantu situation at the 48-minute mark below. The very next day, Cantu sent a lengthy message looking to \u201capologize for hitting [Dream]. I think I slapped you once which was totally out of line. I apologize deeply for that.\u201d Trying to move on from the situation, Dream left it there, \u2018hoping\u2019 Cantu would \u201clearn from his mistakes.\u201d However, the internet soon pivoted away from the focal point of the video and instead targeted Dream. Some conspiracy theories even argued accompanying text messages from the Uber driver were \u201cfaked\u201d in an attempt to paint Dream in a more positive light. \u201cPeople still think I lied,\u201d he addressed in his video. Clearing the air on that matter, Dream got back in touch and interviewed the Uber driver responsible for that trip. In a near hour-long conversation, available in full on Dream\u2019s secondary YouTube channel, fans can listen to the entire chat as they go over the night from start to finish. In one key moment when cops were called after Cantu dropped his phone on a busy road, the Uber driver recalled fearing for the voice actor as he allegedly \u201cspoke down to the cops.\u201d \u201cThe way he was speaking to the cops\u2026 You\u2019re gonna go to jail if you keep speaking like that,\u201d he said. \u201cHe felt like he was better. I don\u2019t want you to go to jail. Most Uber drivers would have left you.\u201d \u201cThe way he was acting was unacceptable.\u201d Putting to bed any and all rumors around the legitimacy of the text messages as well, the Uber driver then added: \u201cAll those text messages, that was me saying it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
