Imagine cruising through the neon-drenched streets of Vice City in Grand Theft Auto 6, palm trees swaying, sunsets blazing, and the unmistakable voice of Drake dropping an exclusive Iceman track through your car’s radio. Sounds like a dream, right? For many fans across the U.S., UK, and Canada, that fantasy might not be so far off if the latest rumor holds true.
On June 12, 2025, music producer and hip-hop icon Jermaine Dupri lit up the internet with a bold claim on the New Rory & MAL podcast. Speaking candidly, Dupri said,
“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.”
The revelation was met with immediate online chaos. Within hours, fans took to X in a full-blown search for answers.
“Drake in GTA 6 would be epic!”
one user posted, while another fired back,
“No way until Rockstar confirms.”
If the rumor is true, it would mark a historic first not just for Rockstar Games, but for music and gaming as a whole.
Drake, the Toronto-born global superstar, isn’t new to pushing boundaries. His ties to Miami GTA 6’s Vice City inspiration run deep. From the “God’s Plan” video filmed in the city to references throughout his discography, Drake’s involvement would blend seamlessly with the game’s setting.
But it’s the rumored unreleased music uploads that truly set this claim apart. According to Dupri, Rockstar may be developing a system where artists can inject new tracks into the game post-launch. That could turn GTA 6 into a virtual stage for debuting songs, rivaling Fortnite’s trendsetting virtual concerts.
Online communities have exploded with speculation. Gaming site sportskeeda.com noted the fan excitement in its May 14, 2025, article, writing that
“players are buzzing with the possibility of hearing Drake’s next hit while outrunning cops in Vice City.”
Even casual gamers are intrigued.
“This is a whole new way to drop music,”
posted a UK fan on X.
“Imagine hearing a leak on purpose while playing GTA? That’s wild.”
And Drake’s upcoming album Iceman adds more fuel to the fire. If true, debuting exclusive tracks in GTA 6 could create a new music-release ecosystem one powered by digital immersion and interactivity.
Still, fans should tread carefully.

Adding to the skepticism is the recent debunked May 2025 rumor claiming Joe Rogan would host a station in GTA 6 which never materialized.
Some fans have questioned the feasibility.
“If Rockstar really built a system for real-time music uploads, wouldn’t they announce it with fanfare?”
asked a Reddit user. Others note that Dupri hasn’t been publicly connected to Rockstar’s development process before, leading some to question the authenticity of his claims.
Despite the uncertainty, the rumor fits neatly into Rockstar’s long-standing tradition of merging real-world music into its games. From Kenny Loggins’ station in GTA 5 to Frank Ocean’s Blonded Radio, the franchise has always given space for musicians to flex their creative influence inside the game.
And with GTA 6 scheduled for a May 26, 2026 release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, the timeline seems ripe for high-profile collaborations.
Whether it’s hype or the start of something revolutionary, the idea of Drake launching his own radio station in GTA 6 complete with unreleased music has fans dreaming big.
For now, all eyes remain locked on Rockstar. Until the developer issues an official statement, Jermaine Dupri’s claim lives in that all-too-familiar Grand Theft Auto grey zone: part fantasy, part possibility, 100% viral.
