Paparazzo - The Sex Tape

“Paparazzo – The Sex Tape” is the second mission in the Paparazzo series in Grand Theft Auto V, given to Franklin Clinton by Beverly Felton. In this mission, Franklin assists Beverly in capturing scandalous footage of a celebrity couple as they engage in explicit activities.

After the first mission, Beverly contacts Franklin for help with his next big scoop—a celebrity sex tape.

Franklin agrees to assist, and the mission involves getting close enough to capture the footage while avoiding detection.
