It seems like GTA 6 is ready to take things up a notch. Rumors suggest that DJ Khaled may be hosting his own in-game radio station.
According to TheGhostOfHope, a source with a history of Call of Duty leaks, Khaled's station is expected to feature his own songs as well as tracks from other artists. While Rockstar has yet to confirm anything, the chatter around this has got fans wondering what it means for the game's soundtrack.
Celebrity DJs are nothing new in GTA. GTA V had names like Frank Ocean, Kenny Loggins, and DJ Pooh, and Rockstar even brought in Dr. Dre for GTA Online.
Given that GTA 6 brings players back to Vice City (a fictional take on Miami), Khaled's presence would make sense. He used to be a Miami radio DJ before becoming the hype man he is today, so hearing his voice on the in-game airwaves wouldn't feel out of place.
Even so, this leak is just one facet of the "grander" plan surrounding GTA 6's entertainment direction. Reports from this week suggest Rockstar is considering evolving the game's online environment into a user-generated content (UGC) hub, much like Fortnite and Roblox.
The game is rumored to showcase not only Khaled but also other real-life musicians on its soundtrack. Previous leaks have suggested that rapper ScHoolboy Q and entertainer T-Pain have already worked on the game, while discussions persist about Rockstar bringing in additional industry heavyweights.
Despite Rockstar staying tight-lipped, speculation about DJ Khaled's involvement has made fans eager for the official news.
Fans may not be fond of hearing his iconic phrases over the radio, but GTA 6 is going all out with the music side of things.
