It looks like we can probably expect to see some music and perhaps an appearance from T-Pain in Rockstar’s newest Grand Theft Auto game, GTA 6, as the American singer-songwriter has confirmed he’s working on the project.
The confirmation comes from T-Pain (real name Faheem Rashad Najm) himself, who took to social media to address why he left the GTA RP Discord server for NoPixel, saying that Rockstar told him he couldn’t since he’s now working on GTA 6.

“I used to be on NoPixel” Najm explains, “… then I started working on GTA 6, and they told me I couldn’t do RP anymore because it kind of goes against — they had this whole speech, like, you know, ‘What if somebody took your album and re-recorded it, and more people were listening to that,’ and I’m like, ‘Okay, I kind of get that, but I was having a good time. Alright, that’s fine,'” then I started working on the game with them.”
He then jokes about Rockstar buying the RP developers, laughing it off and pointing out the irony of him not being allowed to role-play despite Rockstar now working with the devs.
Well, now we all know why he suddenly stopped. Probably wasn’t supposed to reveal he’s working on GTA 6, but we can’t picture this confirmation being a major issue with Rockstar.
What do you think, will we be seeing some original music by T-Pain for GTA 6? Maybe he’ll even play a character, given he’s already been role-playing in GTA 5 since 2021.

I’ve never understood LARP or roleplaying via GTA, but to each there own. I like GTA but haven’t ever roleplayed or had any interest in it.
Wouldn’t be surprised if T-pain had music on the GTA6 soundtrack someplace, like during the campaign or a radio station in vehicles. Other rappers have done collaborations for games, so it’s not unheard of.
Wouldn’t think dev’s can just use music without permission because of copyright laws and infringement. So i wouldn’t be surprised if T-pain and other performers sign on and work with dev’s.
