Social media accuses Dream of ruining Nicolas Cantu’s career by sharing controversial video
As per the video of Nicolas Cantu released by Dream recently, the actor allegedly said a variety of homophobic and racist things. The Minecraft content creator would also allege that the two got into a physical altercation. Quite a few people blame Clay for ruining Cantu's career by recording him.
However, Dream has refuted several of these things repeatedly. He highlighted that he didn’t do the filming and that, in fact, it was Nicolas Cantu who asked to be recorded.
The streamer was also accused of letting the underage actor drink, and the response to that was that Cantu had a fake ID and didn’t even know the actor before that night. He also highlighted that the video is two months old, and he hasn’t been holding onto it for “years”.
Another person highlighted the Uber Driver conversation. The content creator renamed the person on his phone to avoid leaking someone’s phone number and to not dox them. He briefly ranted that people won’t take this level of scrutiny to accusations made against him.
One person claimed to be at Twitchcon with Dream and claimed he insulted a girl, calling her a “w**re” over the course of three days. However, the Minecraft streamer refuted the claims, stating not only was the person not in the same state but also followed up to point out that the person kept changing their stance on what went down.
Clay also said that the Twitchcon happened after the physical altercation and recording and that he avoided Nicolas Cantu the entire time.
However, it wasn’t all negatives that the streamer replied to. There were other vocal supporters of the Minecraft superstar who believed him instead of the words of others involved in this conflict. Dream responded that there are people who simply hate him and have their minds made up; no matter what was said, it wouldn’t be enough for them.
Social media reacts to Dream’s response

Many accused the streamer of holding onto the footage to blackmail the actor later. Clay professed across a variety of tweets that the actor asked to be recorded, but not many would believe that.
Even if the drama between the two men settles down, it’s unlikely that social media netizens will forget about it; everyone has their opinion on who was right and wrong during this feud between Nicolas Cantu and Clay.
