In what was easily one of the most obvious eventualities, a celebrity, specifically, a rapper, has revealed his involvement in the upcoming Rockstar Games title, Grand Theft Auto 6.
Renowned rapper and musician, born Faheem Rashad Najm, recently convinced he's part of GTA 6. This news, which has emerged during a live stream, suggests a notable deviation from Rockstar's approach of working primarily with lesser-known actors in their modern game titles, unless we're talking about sound tracks and radio tunes, which GTA 6 should have a lot of as it's likely to incorporate modern technologies like social media, music streaming, and many more.
Historically, Rockstar Games' earlier GTA titles featured a cast of famous actors, including big names like Ray Liotta and Samuel L. Jackson. However, issues such as heated arguments on set reportedly led to a shift in casting strategy, with its subsequent games, starting with Grand Theft Auto IV, featuring fewer prominent actors. Instead, the later titles included cameos from comedians and other celebrities in minor roles, such as radio DJs. For example, Dr. Dre appeared in GTA Online for an update centered around him and his music, marking one of the more significant celebrity roles in recent Rockstar games.
T-Pain's accidental revelation during a Twitch stream suggests that GTA 6 might include more high-profile names. He mentioned that he had to stop participating in a popular GTA 5 role-playing server, NoPixel, due to his new involvement with GTA 6. His comments imply that Rockstar Games requested this change to avoid conflicts with his work on the new game. T-Pain did not specify his role in GTA 6, leading to speculation about whether he might contribute as a voice actor, music artist, or in some other capacity.
