"You physically assaulted me" - Dream calls out Nicolas Cantu, accuses him of assault

The entire controversy unfolded (November 15) when Nicolas Cantu unknowingly interacted with a fake Dream account and made caustic comments, which included referring to him as a p**ophile.

Dream promptly clarified that Cantu had been engaging with a fraudulent account. In the same post, Clay also accused Cantu of physically assaulting him and even said that the actor had used the "N-word" during his tirade. He said:

"You physically assaulted me, said the n word and other slurs, verbally berated an Uber driver."

In response to this post, Cantu confirmed on Twitter that he did indeed slap Clay and even labeled him a predator. However, he explicitly denied making any racist remarks:

"Yes I slapboxed you in front of the h**s."

Nicolas Cantu seen berating an Uber driver

Clay also posted (November 18) a two-minute video in which Cantu was seen berating both an Uber driver and Clay during a ride. In one segment, he said this to the Uber driver:

"You're retarded. You're f**king down syndrome. I don't give a f**k. You do not understand that your literacy level needs to be brought up from the f**king Mariana Trench..."

In the video, Cantu can also be seen being vitriolic towards Clay:

"I think you're a fa**ot."

In one of his posts, Cantu mentioned being intoxicated during the Uber ride and asserted that he had generously tipped the driver. However, it was later revealed that this claim turned out to be false:
