Shawn Fonteno, voice of "Franklin" in GTA V, knocked out Ice Cube and stole his chain in the 1990s!

Shawn Fonteno, who goes by "Solo" in his rapping career, had business-related problems with fellow artist Ice Cube. So one day, Ice Cube met him at a traffic light, and all heck broke loose.


Here's where it gets more interesting. Solo started to beat Ice Cube physically, even knocking him down, when somehow Ice Cube's chain and Rolex ended up in Solo's possession.


Naturally, Solo went to a Cypress Hill show at the House of Blues in Los Angeles. He proudly showed off Ice Cube's chain to the crowd's wild approval. Although there was some skepticism, the chain was, in fact, Ice Cube's.


In the aftermath, Ice Cube was very angry. There were fears that the row could lead to heightened racial tensions in Los Angeles, an area that already dealt with plenty of racism. Division between neighborhoods, gangs, and blacks and Hispanics could have come to a breaking point if things hadn't been carefully managed.


In 1997, the two rappers finally got over it and reconciled, even agreeing to collaborate.


And to prove that he can be a bad boy in the digital world as well, Shawn Fonteno is also the same man who lent his voice to the character "Franklin" in GTA V!
