The revelation came about six minutes into the interview when Dupri was discussing being approached by Rockstar. While he didn't specifically mention GTA 6 by name, the context makes it clear he was referring to the next installment in the franchise, especially since Drake has never had his own station in previous GTA games.
It's a brilliant move that benefits everyone involved. It gives Drake a unique platform to debut new music, Rockstar gets exclusive content that keeps players coming back, and fans get access to music they can't hear anywhere else.
The timing of this revelation is particularly interesting. GTA 6 is set to launch in May 2026 after being delayed from its original 2025 release window. This extra development time could allow Rockstar to implement more ambitious features like these dynamic, updateable radio stations.
Drake isn't the only major artist rumored to be involved with GTA 6's radio stations. Earlier reports have suggested that DJ Khaled will also host his own station, while other artists like T-Pain have openly discussed their involvement with the project. Megan Thee Stallion has also been linked to the game after posting photos with Vice City-inspired backdrops and being followed by Rockstar on social media.
The Grand Theft Auto series has always been known for its carefully curated radio stations, featuring everything from classic rock to modern hip-hop.
Previous games have included celebrity DJs and hosts, with Frank Ocean hosting Blonded Radio in Grand Theft Auto 5 and various other artists contributing to the franchise's legendary soundtracks over the years.
What makes this partnership particularly significant is the potential for ongoing content updates. Unlike traditional game soundtracks that remain static after release, this system would allow artists to keep their stations fresh with new material. This could mean that the GTA 6 you play at launch might have a completely different soundtrack than the one you're playing months or even years later.
If implemented, GTA 6 could become a major platform for music discovery, with artists potentially using it to test new sounds or reward their gaming fans with exclusive content.
This would be in line with earlier rumors that Rockstar is turning GTA 6 into the next content creator platform, effectively nailing the coffin shut on Grand Theft Auto 7 for the foreseeable future.
While Rockstar hasn't officially confirmed any of these details, the pattern of musicians accidentally revealing their involvement with GTA 6 suggests there's substance to these claims.
In the meantime, fans can keep themselves busy with Grand Theft Auto Online, which is set to get its summer update on June 17.
