As if Rockstar Games hasn’t been teasing us enough, now we know that it’s hiring influential musicians to work on the highly anticipated game GTA 6.
Yes, rapper T-Pain has recently revealed his involvement in the upcoming installment. Fans were both excited and disappointed when the rapper made that announcement.
Why? Well, to get that gig, T-Pain had to give up something he and his fans love. Let’s not waste any time and get to the gist of it.
Who Is T-Pain?
Fahem Rashed Najm, aka “T-Pain,” is an American rapper/singer/songwriter. He’s famous for blending contemporary R&B with hip-hop and using auto-tune to offer an electronic performance.
He’s one of the biggest names in the music industry today. So, you can imagine how thrilled the gaming community was to know he’s contributing to the new GTA 6.
It shows the developers are trying to offer an immersive experience, whether through the gameplay or the music.
T-Pain Revealing He’s Working on GTA VI
T-Pain’s involvement in the game came as a surprise to everyone. He didn’t actively announce it on his social media platforms or anything. In fact, GTA fans knew by accident!
The rapper was doing a livestream when one of the viewers asked why he was not on the GTA V NoPixel role-play server—GTA V roleplay is a famous mod that allows players, streamers, and content creators to create and live the life of an original character in the game.
When T-Pain received that question, he announced he was working on GTA 6. Apparently, the executives in Rockstar Games told the rapper to quit the role-playing servers. As enjoyable as they are, the roleplaying servers are illegal mods of the original GTA. The developers never consented to their publication but still let players enjoy them anyway.
Asking T-Pain to stop playing these variants isn’t unreasonable. They compared their situation to someone recording T-Pain’s music and people listening to that more than the original tracks. Obviously, the rapper wasn’t happy with that request because he enjoyed playing on these servers, but he understood.
In 2023, the executives of Rockstar Games recognized how popular and influential the roleplay variants have become. So, they acquired the modding teams behind the FiveM and RedM roleplay servers.
That was an exciting initiative for the fans, as they believed they’d get an official roleplay option in GTA Online. However, T-Pain was furious: “Y’all told me I couldn’t do this s**t, then y’all team up with the people that enable the RP? Anyways, whatever!”
What Is T-Pain’s Role in GTA 6?
There isn’t a definitive answer to that question, as T-Pain hasn’t specified his role in his spontaneous announcement. He probably shouldn’t have said he was working on the game in the first place, but Rockstar lawyers can probably go easy on him. After all, he quit the roleplay variants for them!
Maybe his songs will be featured on one of the radio stations you play while driving, or he’s making an original track exclusively for the game.
It’d be mind-blowing if he appeared as himself on one of the missions, but we can’t imagine a scenario where that would make sense. Whatever it is, the fans will appreciate the rapper’s contribution to the game.
Ultimately, we don't know what T-Pain will add to the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6, but we’re sure it’ll be amazing. After all, he had to quit playing the variant he enjoyed so much, so it has to be worth it!
