Imagine whipping a stolen sports car through Vice City, sun melting into the horizon, palm trees flickering past—and suddenly, Drake’s voice cuts through the chaos with an exclusive new track from his upcoming album Iceman. No, this isn’t fan fiction. It might just be our new gaming reality.
On June 12, 2025, legendary producer Jermaine Dupri dropped a bombshell on the New Rory & MAL podcast, saying:
“From what I heard, Drake’s gonna have his own station in GTA 6. He’ll even be able to upload unreleased music straight into the game.”

Drake in GTA 6? Fans Are Losing It
The internet instantly lit up.
Within hours, #DrakeGTA6 was trending across X, Reddit, and TikTok. One fan tweeted:
“Drake in GTA 6 would be epic!”
Another, more skeptical, user added:
“Cool idea, but until Rockstar confirms, it’s just noise.”
Still, the buzz is deafening—and for good reason. If true, this would mark the first time in GTA history that an artist has real-time control over in-game music drops.
Why It Makes Sense
Drake isn’t a stranger to innovation—or to Miami, the clear inspiration for GTA 6’s Vice City setting. From his “God’s Plan” video filmed in the city to lyrical nods in tracks like “The Ride”, the Toronto megastar has always been drawn to the sun-soaked chaos of South Florida.
And with his album Iceman rumored to drop soon, the timing feels… strategic.
Imagine this: Drake debuts tracks in GTA 6 before they even hit Spotify. A game world becomes a music platform. A car radio becomes a front-row seat to music history.
That’s not just gaming innovation—it’s culture-shifting.

Can Rockstar Pull It Off?
The technical claim is bold: Dupri says Rockstar might allow artists to “upload” tracks into the game post-launch. That sounds like a live-update system similar to how Fortnite hosts concerts and live events.
Skeptics aren’t sold.
A Reddit user noted:
“If Rockstar really had a system like this in the works, there’d be a whole rollout.”
Others question Dupri’s insider access, since he hasn’t been publicly linked to Rockstar before.
Still, the GTA franchise has a long history of blending real-world artists into the game:
• Kenny Loggins hosted a classic rock station in GTA 5.
• Frank Ocean’s Blonded Radio was a fan-favorite.
• Flying Lotus, Danny Brown, and Soulwax have all curated stations too.
So the concept isn’t far-fetched—just taken to a whole new level.

What It Could Mean for Music
If Drake really is setting up shop in GTA 6, it could spark a new era for music premieres. Artists wouldn’t just post a song—they’d drop it into a digital universe with millions of active listeners, all cruising, fighting, and exploring while the track plays.
“This is a whole new way to drop music,” one UK fan wrote.
“Imagine hearing a leak on purpose while playing GTA? That’s wild.”
It’s the kind of hybrid rollout that could blend culture, gaming, and music like never before.

The Bottom Line
Drake having a custom radio station in GTA 6, uploading unreleased music into the game? It’s still a rumor—but one with just enough style, swagger, and feasibility to feel very Rockstar.
With GTA 6 dropping May 26, 2026, there’s still plenty of time for the game’s promotional surprises to unfold. And if this one turns out to be real?
Well, Vice City’s streets might just belong to Drizzy.
Until Rockstar speaks, the rumor lives where all GTA stories start—between chaos and cool.
