Finesse2tymes is making headlines again—but this time, it’s in the world of video games. The Memphis artist, known for his viral comedic rants on social media, posted a clip Thursday night demanding that Rockstar Games push back the release of Grand Theft Auto VI by 30 days so he can be included as a playable character.
“PlayStation, y’all gotta [give me an] ultimatum—fuckin’ with me! I’ma get on y’all last nerve! Either y’all put me in the new muthafuckin’ Grand Theft Auto! …Wait about 30 more days! Put me in there, bitch! Make me a character! This my ultimatum!” Finesse2tymes said in the 50-second video, which blends chaotic humor with GTA-themed graphics and emojis popping in sync with his gestures.
Many responses playfully poke fun at the rapper’s appearance, while others imagine him as a quirky NPC in the long-awaited game set in Vice City. One fan joked, “He does need to be in there. He could be one of the neighborhood crackheads.” Another added, “Bro wants us to wait another 30 days? I’ve been waiting since the Obama administration.”
Finesse2tymes, born Ricky Hampton, first rose to fame in 2022 with his remix of “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” featuring GloRilla and Kodak Black. Since then, the rapper has cultivated a reputation as a comedic self-promoter in hip-hop, turning unscripted social media clips—ranging from troll roasts to exaggerated demands—into viral moments. In the GTA video, Finesse2tymes dons a pink-and-white velour tracksuit, gold chains, and grips a PS5 controller, flailing and laughing as if auditioning for the game himself.
The clip taps into the ongoing hype surrounding GTA VI, Rockstar’s $2 billion-plus production slated for a Nov. 19, 2026, release. Originally expected in 2025, the game has been delayed multiple times, most recently to May 2026, and features a return to Vice City with dual protagonists Lucia and Jason. Fans are eagerly anticipating its sun-soaked streets, neon-lit nights, and signature satirical chaos.
Whether Rockstar takes Finesse2tymes’ playful ultimatum seriously remains to be seen, but the stunt has already earned him free publicity and further cemented his status as a meme-worthy figure in hip-hop culture. As one fan summarized, “Bro really out here auditioning for Rockstar roles.”
