Fanum

Did Fanum leave AMP? Why did Fanum leave AMP, and what happened to Fanum?

Fanum has not left AMP: as of November 2026 he is still a member, in everything we could source. The group’s November 2, 2026 upload lists “Fanum aka JustFanum” among the six members, Black Enterprise named him as one of them on September 2, 2026, and Fanum Live posted six AMP-house clips with Kai Cenat, Duke Dennis and others on November 8, 2026 alone. The question comes from May 2025. Complex reported that on May 6, 2025 screenshots circulated of what was said to be Fanum’s Snapchat story, saying the AMP X account had unfollowed him and removed his access, followed by “Everything will soon come to light.” Duke Dennis called it “fake news,” and Kai Cenat said on stream that it had been taken “out of context,” that Fanum leaves the country once a year for personal matters, and asked, “Did you hear Fanum say out his mouth, say ‘I’m out’?” Fanum kept appearing in AMP videos afterward.

What happened to Fanum and Kai? What happened to Fanum that made Kai cry?

Fanum and Kai Cenat are still on good terms as of November 2026, and they stream together: Fanum Live’s November 8, 2026 upload Kai Didn’t Expect Fanum to Make His Shots is one of many from that week. Per GQ (January 2025), the two knew each other from the Bronx, and Fanum invited Kai into AMP and pushed him to stream from home. When the May 2025 rumor said Fanum was leaving, it was Kai who shut it down on stream, per Complex, and in June 2025 Kai asked New York mayor Eric Adams whether Fanum could get an apology from the NYPD, per Dexerto. We could not source a specific moment where something that happened to Fanum made Kai cry, so we do not guess which clip the question means.

What is the Fanum tax? What happened to the Fanum tax, and why did Fanum throw the broccoli?

The Fanum tax is Fanum’s habit of “taxing” his friends by taking food off their plates on stream, and the phrase became internet slang. Complex reported in May 2025 that, according to Kai Cenat, the first one happened on Kai’s December 2022 Christmas stream, when Fanum ran into the room and took his cookies; Dexerto described the same moment and counted 623.2 million TikTok views on the term as of 2023. Nothing happened to it: in October 2024 Fanum taxed John Cena’s and Kai’s Chicken Big Macs on Kai’s stream, per Complex, and a MoreFanum compilation, Every Fanum Tax Ever, has about 961,000 views. On the broccoli and the “Fanum throwing food” GIF, we could not trace the original clip in an accepted outlet, so we do not say which stream it came from or why.

What happened to Fanum’s goat? What happened to Fanum’s pet goat and the goat curry?

Fanum had a pet goat named Curry, and he has not said publicly what became of it, in anything we could source. GQ reported in January 2025 that his team had gotten animals from farms for content, “like a goat named Curry.” His Fanum Live channel has a run of goat uploads from about two years before this entry, including Fanum Gets Surprised With A Pet Goat (about 3.8 million views), Kai Cenat Tries To Steal Fanum’s Pet Goat and Fanum Freestyles With A Goat (about 9 million views). The “goat curry” search likely mixes the pet’s name with a separate food video, Fanum Tries Curry Goat For The First Time, which is about the dish. We found no accepted outlet reporting what happened to the goat.

Did Fanum have a heart attack? Why did Fanum get arrested?

Fanum said in June 2024 that he had a heart attack or heart scare, and he was not arrested in the July 2024 NYPD stop people ask about. Complex reported on June 15, 2024 that, after more than four days off stream, he posted on X: “Had a heart attack/scare 2 days ago and ngl… I thought i was outta here chat, another reminder that health is wealth!” and promised a 10-plus hour stream the next day; he has not described a diagnosis that we could find. On the arrest question, Complex reported on July 29, 2024 that after the Bronx Dominican Parade an NYPD officer pointed a gun at his car while he was live, his driver was handcuffed, and police drove off in his purple Lamborghini Urus. Complex wrote that Fanum “was not arrested,” and the NYPD told it the vehicle was stopped for having no license plates and the driver was released with a summons. Fanum said he got the car back about four hours later, that he had a permit for the parade, and that he would sue; we found no report of a lawsuit being filed. Separately, Kai Cenat was charged after the August 2023 Union Square giveaway, which GQ said Fanum and Duke Dennis were also at; GQ reported in January 2025 that Kai’s charges were later dropped. We found no report of an arrest of Fanum in a major news outlet.

Why did Fanum not rap?

Fanum has not explained on the record why he skipped a verse, in anything we could source, and we could not verify from an accepted outlet which song or cypher the question refers to. What is public: AMP’s yearly AMP Freshman Cypher came out on September 17, 2026, and the group’s channel has editions going back to 2020. Fanum does rap for content: Fanum Freestyles With A Goat is one of his most viewed Fanum Live uploads, and ChrisNxtDoor’s music channel carries a track with him, Hold On Girl.

Who is Fanum’s cameraman?

Fanum’s cameraman, as of GQ’s January 2025 profile, was a 23-year-old who goes by Vinny and doubles as his tech guy. GQ reported that Vinny had worked for him for about two years, after a friend sent him an Instagram post of Fanum looking for a cameraman, and that Fanum had nine employees at the time. We have not confirmed who is behind the camera as of November 2026; MoreFanum’s November 6, 2026 upload Fanum And His Cameraman Troll for 12 minutes straight does not name him in its title.

What is Fanum’s real name? How old is he, how tall is he, and where is he from?

Fanum’s real name is Roberto Escanio, as printed by GQ in January 2025 and by the Bronx Walk of Fame, which lists him among its 2026 inductees. Complex has printed the name as Roberto Gonzalez, in July 2024 and May 2025; we go with GQ and the Walk of Fame. Fanum is 29 as of November 2026, born August 22, 1997 in New York City, per Famous Birthdays. He grew up in the Bronx, New York, and is based in Atlanta with AMP, per GQ. He has not published a height, and we do not guess.

Where can I watch Fanum?

Fanum streams live on Twitch, where he has about 4 million followers as of November 2026. Stream clips go daily to Fanum Live, about 3.96 million subscribers and more than 3,100 videos, with longer cuts and reactions on MoreFanum and gaming on FanumGaming. His original channel, JustFanum, has about 1.83 million subscribers and 177 million views but has not posted since November 3, 2024; its most viewed recent upload, Fanum Reveals The True Chopped Cheese Price, passed 13 million views. Group videos are on the AMP channel, about 8.25 million subscribers, and he posts on Instagram as @elfanum and on X as @FanumTV.

What is Fanum’s net worth?

Fanum does not publish a number and neither do we.

Who is Fanum dating? What about his family or ethnicity?

Not something we cover.

Who represents Fanum?

Fanum is represented, as a member of AMP, by Night, the agency led by Reed Duchscher: Tubefilter reported in June 2024 that Night “reps the members of AMP,” and we found no newer report. His YouTube channel lists a business email of his own, and GQ quoted “a representative for Fanum” in January 2025 without naming a firm. Ames Create does not represent him; we cover him because people keep asking whether he left AMP and what happened with his goat, his health scare and the NYPD stop, and most of it is on the record. If that changes, this entry will say so.
