Is Franklin a narcissist from the very beginning?

Many characters allude to Franklin being self-centered throughout the show, and a lot of fans seem to agree.

Kevin calls Franklin a “traitor to his people” and says “this is who he’s always been”. Leon says “Money got your head all fucked up, or maybe your head was never right to begin with.” Jerome accuses Franklin of “using” all of them.

I personally don’t think he is (at the start of the show), but what y’all think?
