T-Pain’s gaming career is taking new heights as the singer/songwriter teases his alleged involvement in the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI.
The “Buy U A Drank” singer was doing a live stream on Jan. 12 when he confirmed his contribution to Rockstar Games’ eagerly awaited sequel to “GTA 5,” IGN reports. The news emerged when T-Pain explained his absence from role-playing on the popular GTA 5 role-play server NoPixel.
It runs on third-party servers, and apparently, Rockstar asked T-Pain to stop role-playing on NoPixel because it created a conflict of interest in the new GTA 6.
“I used to be on NoPixel, then I started working on GTA VI, and they told me I couldn’t do RP anymore because it kind of goes against… they had this whole speech, like, ‘What if somebody took your album and re-recorded it, and more people were listening to that,’ and I’m like, ‘OK, I kind of get
that, but I was having a good time. Alright, that’s fine,’” T-Pain explained in a clip captured by DJ Akademiks.But T-Pain still called out Rockstar Games for allegedly recruiting the modding team responsible for role-play servers, including FiveM and RedM, despite telling him not to use its platform.
“Then I started working on the game with them and then they teamed up with the
people that make the RP sh*t, and I’m like, ‘Wait a minute, what? What the f**ck?…Y’all tell me I can’t do this sh*t and then you team up with the people that enable the RP?” T-Pain said with a laugh.The reveal comes one month after Rockstar Games announced GTA 6 would be coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2025.
The company announced in a press release that “Grand Theft Auto VI heads to the state of Leonida, home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City and beyond in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the Grand Theft Auto series yet. “
