A big slip on a podcast spilled some exciting news about Grand Theft Auto 6. Grammy-winning producer Jermaine Dupri, while chatting on the New Rory & Mal podcast, revealed that Drake will have his own radio station in the game. He’ll be able to upload brand-new, unreleased tracks directly to GTA 6, letting players hear his music before anyone else. This could change how games handle licensed music, making GTA 6 a legit platform for music debuts, not unlike Fortnite’s virtual concerts with stars like Snoop Dogg and Ariana Grande.
Why It’s a Smart Move
Dupri let this slip about six minutes into the podcast while talking about Rockstar reaching out to him. Though he didn’t name GTA 6 directly, it’s clear he meant the next game, as Drake never had a station in earlier titles. This setup benefits everyone: Drake gets a unique way to share music, Rockstar scores exclusive content to keep players engaged, and fans hear tracks they can’t find elsewhere. Other artists like DJ Khaled and T-Pain are also rumored to be involved, with Megan Thee Stallion possibly linked after posting Vice City-themed content.
A New Era for GTA’s Radio
GTA 6, now set for May 2026 after a delay from 2025, could use this extra time to perfect features like updatable radio stations. Unlike static game soundtracks, this system would let artists keep stations fresh with new songs, so the game’s music could evolve over time. This aligns with rumors that GTA 6 is becoming a major content platform, potentially delaying Grand Theft Auto 7. While Rockstar hasn’t confirmed anything, these artist leaks suggest there’s truth to the buzz. Meanwhile, Grand Theft Auto Online’s summer update drops June 17 to keep fans busy.
