Jermaine Dupri Hints At Drake Getting His Own Radio Station In ‘Grand Theft Auto 6'
Jermaine Dupri might have just leaked the biggest musical Easter egg tied to Grand Theft Auto VI — and it involves Drake.
While speaking with Rory and Mal on their eponymous podcast, the Atlanta super producer casually revealed, 'They asked me to do Grand Theft Auto, and they were saying like Drake got his own radio station on Grand Theft Auto.'
According to Dupri, not only has Rockstar Games tapped the rap icon for his own personalized in-game radio station, but 'Drake can actually upload music that we probably have never even heard online on that video game,' he shared. That means GTA VI may have the ability to debut exclusive tracks through gameplay. The highly anticipated game is set to release on May 26, 2026.
While Rockstar hasn't confirmed Drake's acquirement, notably fans have long desired the ability to curate their own radio stations within the GTA universe. If true, the Toronto star might be the first to make that vision a virtual reality.
Aside from the 'Nokia' rapper, ScHoolboy Q also revealed back in February 2023 that he'd be featured musically in GTA VI, while T-Pain shared he had worked with Rockstar as well. And though DJ Khaled hasn't confirmed his involvement directly, rumors earlier this year suggested he might be hosting his own station when the game drops. If artists can use the game as a DSP to drop exclusives, the lines between streaming culture and gaming will get blurrier and a lot more interesting.
Diving more into the streaming world, Drake is set to appear on Kai Cenat's livestream to review entries for their 'Somebody Loves Me' music video contest. The event, which was supposed to take place last night (June 12) was postponed until further notice. 'We need more time with the treatments for 'Somebody Loves Me,' so we are pushing the stream back a few more days,' Cenat explained via Instagram Story. No new date has been revealed yet.

Drake who? In his Toronto return, Kendrick Lamar rose above the drama to deliver a career-spanning spectacle
Rogers Centre, Toronto, June 12, 2025 We all love a bit of drama. A bit of conflict. As humans, we thrive on it. For over a year, music fans have feasted on the bitter discord between Kendrick Lamar and Drake , obsessing over each sensational new development in what's been touted as the greatest rap beef of the 21st century. So it should come as no surprise that Lamar's arrival in Toronto on Thursday night — his first venture north of the border since the feud erupted last spring — to perform on the city's biggest stage was touted as another triumph for the Compton rapper, or framed as a juicy opportunity to provoke his rival on his home turf. But inside Rogers Centre, the spectre of Drake was hardly discernible. Lamar didn't mention him, nor did make reference to the feud even once during a nearly three-hour show. Instead, Lamar chose the high road, providing fans with an electric, career-spanning spectacle that felt less like a victory lap than a joyous celebration of a hip hop superstar operating at the peak of his powers. 'I see Toronto ain't playing tonight,' a smiling Lamar exclaimed midway through the show, following a rousing performance of 'Family Ties,' his 2021 collaboration with Baby Keem that sparked the first of several enthusiastic 'Kendrick' chants from the tens of thousands in attendance. And though Lamar chose not to fan the flames of conflict on Thursday, there were plenty of fireworks, both literal and figurative, provided by both Lamar and his co-headliner SZA, in an expensive extravaganza that sagged a little at times, but mostly soared. I'll admit that I was somewhat skeptical ahead of Thursday's show — the first of Lamar and SZA's back-to-back gigs in Toronto. Something about seeing a hip hop show at a baseball stadium felt wrong, somehow. With a capacity of 50,000, Rogers Centre is more than double the size of Scotiabank Arena, where Lamar typically performs when he comes to Toronto. As I filtered into the stadium and took my seats, I was surprised at the makeup of the crowd: the vast majority of fans appeared to be under 25, and many were teenagers, some sitting with their parents, munching popcorn or admiring their newly purchased merch. Between the main show and the opening DJ set from Mustard, the vibe felt more like a comic convention than a hip hop show. All that changed when the lights went down and a black Buick GNX was rolled slowly toward the middle of the sprawling stage, as the menacing horns of 'wacced out murals' blasted through the stadium's booming speakers. Lamar, the superstar Compton rapper who's been embroiled in a year-long feud with Drake, The audience leapt to the feet immediately as Lamar emerged from the car, kicking the show off with furious medley of upbeat songs from across different eras of his storied career — 'squabble up' from 2024's 'GNX,' 'King Kunta' from 2015's 'To Pimp A Butterfly,' and 'ELEMENT' from 2017's 'DAMN.' After about 10 minutes, the audience erupted for a second time as SZA — who more than once has cancelled Toronto shows at the last minute — emerged from beneath the stage on a rising platform to perform '30 for 30,' a standout collaboration with Lamar from her recent album 'Lana.' It was a thrilling moment, buoyed by the natural chemistry between the two artists, their voices duelling and eventually dovetailing in the song's final chorus. As Lamar exited the stage, SZA was joined by a troupe of dancers to perform three songs from her beloved debut album, 'Ctrl,' her voice nearly drowned out by the thousands of fans singing along at the top of their voices. The rest of the show proceeded in this unique fashion: a miniset by Lamar followed by a miniset from SZA, with collaborations peppered in between. SZA (left) and Kendrick Lamar (right) perform at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey in May. In an era where co-headlining tours are commonplace, pairing Lamar and SZA together for the Grand National Tour stands out as a particularly brilliant move. Longtime collaborators, both artists are currently riding a wave of unprecedented commercial and critical success: Lamar's record-breaking diss track 'Not Like Us' recently won five Grammys, while SZA's 2022 album 'SOS' recently spent its 85th week on the Billboard Top 10. But more importantly, Lamar and SZA feel remarkably compatible: Lamar, at 37, the slippery shape-shifter and lyrical savant. SZA, at 35, the master craftswoman of irresistible hooks that seamlessly fuse hip hop and R&B. Both standing tall as their musical peers slowly recede from cultural relevancy, whether by self-sabotage ( Kanye West ), by self-imposed exile ( Frank Ocean ), by the seductions of capitalism ( Rihanna ) or by the stench of all-consuming solipsism ( Drake ). Still, following the excitement of the show's first half-hour, both the strengths and flaws the stadium setting became apparent. On the one hand, the show's production was spectacular. Flanked by gigantic screens displaying cutting-edge visuals, along with incredibly charismatic dancers, it was easy to get lost in the performance, even if you were far from the stage. Most arresting was the show's use of stunning pyrotechnics, with thick columns of flames climbing hundreds of feet toward the stadium's ceiling. (Lamar's performance of 'euphoria,' one of two Drake diss tracks he performed throughout the evening, featured more pyro than the entire Metallica show I saw last summer.) On the other hand, the sound in the stadium was frustratingly muddy, with the bass often overpowering Lamar's vocals, and an irritating echo making it difficult to make out banter between songs. The complex stage setup, which included stages that disappeared behind sliding screens, made it difficult to see the performers for stretches at a time, sometimes blocking them completely from view depending on your vantage point. But these issues didn't seem to spoil the fun for fans, who were absolutely dialed in for Lamar's midshow set, which featured some of his biggest hits ('Humble,' 'Backstreet Freestyle'), along with two deconstructed versions of songs from his 2012 debut 'Good Kid, M.A.A.D City.' Nor did the apparent sound issues deter fans from embracing the fun and pure absurdity of SZA's midshow set, during which she showed off both her range and eclectic style with a string of songs from 'SOS' and 'Lana.' For 'F2F,' she brought out a guitarist and bassist, briefly transforming the show into a millennial pop-punk fever-dream. For 'Kitchen,' she performed while riding a giant ant, as dancers dressed as giant praying mantises roamed the stage. ('She's such a stoner,' the woman next to me observed.) SZA performs at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey in May. As the show entered its third hour, the novelty of Lamar and SZA trading sets began to wear off, and the audience energy began to ebb, even as the two artists trotted out some of their most beloved hits — Lamar's 'Money Trees,' SZA's 'I Hate U' and of course 'All the Stars.' It was nearly 11 p.m. when Lamar finally kicked the show back into a high gear with the hyphy banger 'TV off,' as the word 'MUUSSTTAAARD' echoed through the stadium amid exploding fireworks and billowing columns of flame. With the crowd's energy revitalized, Lamar finally launched into a long-awaited rendition of 'Not Like Us' — the chart-topping, record-breaking, multiple Grammy-winning diss track that doubled as knockout punch in Lamar's feud with Drake; a song that sparked a million think pieces, prompted an explosive defamation lawsuit and arguably changed the shape of hip hop forever. And yet, in the context of the Grand National Tour, 'Not Like Us' somehow transcended all the drama and baggage attached to it. There were no sly comments from Lamar, no cheeky visuals or ad-libs. In fact, Lamar said nothing at all. Instead, the tens of thousands in the arena simply bounced along to the track with the same verve and enthusiasm as they did for the half dozen major hits that Lamar performed earlier in the evening. Admittedly, there was something visceral about chanting along to the song's more inflammatory lines, taking part in the gleeful fun we've been witnessed from a distance for over year now. But it all felt somehow detached from Drake, while the feud felt suddenly contrived and overwrought. (Earlier in the evening, Lamar performed 'Poetic Justice,' a song that features Drake, while SZA performed a cover of his song 'Rich Baby Daddy,' a reminder of the Toronto's rappers ubiquitous, etherlike influence on hip hop.) Though 'Not Like Us' was certainly a highlight, the show reached its pinnacle earlier in the night with Lamar's performance of 'Alright,' a galvanizing, politically charged track from 2015 that became a rallying anthem of the Black Lives Matter movement, and which has taken on fresh relevance amid the ongoing protests against mass deportation in the U.S. ' And we hate popo, wanna kill us dead in the street for sure ,' the audience shouted along, in a moment that provided a much deeper sense of emotional catharsis than the lines ' c ertified lover boy, certified pedophile.' As 'Not Like Us' ended, some half-hearted 'one more time' chants bubbled up, but quickly faded away, as fans realized that, after over 50 songs, the show was finally coming to an end. Wearing a bright red jumper, SZA returned to the stage once to perform 'Luther' and 'Gloria,' both lovely duets off Lamar's most recent album. 'Love and faith, that's what this is all about,' she told the exhausted audience, who began filtering out of the stadium before the final song had even wrapped.

Questions linger regarding MindsEye's rushed release
The big Summer Games Fest weekend of live showcases and game previews is over, and here's what to expect in this week's game news recap. The big picture 'A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad' – a quote that still resonates in the games industry. Nowhere is that more evident than in the release of action-adventure open-world title MindsEye. This highly touted game from ex-Rockstar Games producer Leslie Benzies's studio, Build A Rocket, promised a rich single-player narrative and ongoing user-generated content post-launch. It was released on June 10, with not a single reviewer in the world receiving an early copy before launch – usually a red flag. Sure enough, both early and late impressions from reviewers and content creators were largely negative. The game was buggy, unstable, and riddled with technical issues involving performance and artificial intelligence (AI). Its story also ended abruptly. A large number of PlayStation owners refunded the game en masse – the last time this happened on such a scale was during Cyberpunk 2077's troubled PlayStation 4 launch in 2020. The developers are now scrambling to patch the title, likely over the next several weeks, as it is – to quote the community – 'a car on fire'. It simply should not have been released in its current state, even with this relatively quiet sales window before the second half of 2025. This raises a few lingering questions: Who exactly was asking for another open-world action-adventure title that isn't Grand Theft Auto? Did the ex-Rockstar producer contribute meaningfully to the earlier GTA titles? A seasoned veteran wouldn't have allowed a game to launch in such a state. Short beats ASUS Republic of Gamers is teaming up with Xbox to produce the ROG Xbox Ally (standard and X versions), a portable PC launching this holiday season. The Outer Worlds 2 will be released on Oct 30 and will cost US$80 – part of the ongoing trend of triple-A titles surpassing the US$60 mark.

Resident Evil Requiem (aka Resident Evil 9) is Capcom's next survival horror entry, launching Feb 26, 2026 for PC and consoles. Nintendo Switch 2 has outsold the original Switch by 3-to-1 during its launch in Japan. No Straight Roads 2, from Malaysian studio Metronomik, will be published in 2026 in collaboration with Shueisha Games. Upin & Ipin, the beloved Malaysian children's show, is getting an action-adventure game adaptation due later this year. Marvel Mystic Mayhem, a mobile strategy game, is coming to iOS and Android on June 25. Konami is remaking the original Silent Hill with Bloober Team, which also handled the Silent Hill 2 remake.
