In a surprising twist that blends hip-hop royalty with gaming legend, music producer Jermaine Dupri has revealed that Drake may be getting his own radio station in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6. The revelation came during an episode of the New Rory and Mal podcast, where Dupri shared that he was approached about participating in the game and was told that Drake already had a station lined up.
“They asked me to do Grand Theft Auto,” Dupri said, “and they were saying like Drake got his own radio station on Grand Theft Auto.”
While Rockstar Games has yet to confirm the news, Dupri’s comments have reignited speculation about GTA 6’s music lineup—particularly the possibility of artists contributing exclusive, unreleased tracks to the game. According to Dupri, the idea is that artists like Drake could use their in-game stations to debut new music created specifically for the GTA universe.
A Star-Studded Soundtrack?
Drake isn’t the only name being floated. Rumors have long swirled around other high-profile artists potentially joining the GTA 6 soundtrack in unique ways:
- Kendrick Lamar is reportedly set to have his own station, mirroring the setup rumored for Drake.
- DJ Khaled may not have a dedicated station, but is said to be hosting one—continuing Rockstar’s tradition of celebrity DJs.
- Megan Thee Stallion sparked speculation after posting an Instagram photo with a Vice City-style backdrop, and Rockstar has since followed her on the platform.
- T-Pain appears to be one of the few confirmed artists, having publicly discussed his involvement with Rockstar ahead of the game’s release.
If these rumors hold true, GTA 6 could feature one of the most ambitious and artist-driven soundtracks in gaming history, with stations curated by the artists themselves and potentially featuring music exclusive to the game.
The Wait Gets Longer
While excitement builds around the music and celebrity involvement, fans may need to exercise patience. Recent reports suggest that GTA 6 is now expected to launch in October 2026, pushing back earlier hopes of a mid-2026 release.
Industry insiders point to Rockstar’s commitment to quality and timing as the reason behind the delay. An October release would align with the holiday season, giving the studio time to polish gameplay, refine graphics, and optimize performance across platforms.
Though Rockstar has not officially confirmed the date, sources indicate that a formal announcement could arrive in November 2025, possibly accompanied by new gameplay footage and deeper insights into the game’s features.
