Slink Johnson
Gerald "SIink" Johnson, also known by his stage name "SIink Capone", is an American rapper, actor, voice actor and comedian. He is known for his work in the comedy sitcom Black Jesus and for portraying Lamar Davis in the 2013 video game Grand Theft Auto V.[1][2][3]
In 2021 Johnson reprised his role as Lamar alongside Shawn Fonteno in a live-action re-enactment of a cutscene in the game where Lamar berates Franklin for his haircut. 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.[4][5]
