Recently, pop and hip-hop singer “Curtis James Jackson” or better known as 50 Cent caused a stir on the internet when he published a post on his Instagram account suggesting his association with the game GTA 6. The singer then followed up the excitement with several tweets on his Twitter account. But what is the truth, Trey? Is it really related to the next part of the series?

Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto series is known for hiring some superstars and celebrities. The current game GTA 5 we saw singer Dr. Dre in is a co-worker of 50 Cent, and is featured as a character in the GTA Online DLC. And with 50 Cent hinting at his presence in the upcoming GTA 6 game by posting an image with the Vice City logo, it seemed very logical and real. It’s even a dream come true for many.

An informed source has tried to explain to us the truth about this connection between 50 Cent and Rockstar's next game. It's all about a TV series called Vice City, in which the singer will star. This means that all the previous leaks and rumors that the singer was in the game as a main character or composer of its music were, unfortunately, false.

Vice City will be produced by Paramount+, Lionsgate Entertainment and Paramount Television Studios. Of course, with 50 Cent (and associated brands) carrying out the new project that bears the name and designing the logo of the 2002 game. However, they are two completely different projects in terms of period and content, even with the logo being the same throughout.

This is reportedly a project coming from the creative minds behind Transformers and John Wick. It will also be released in 50 Cent's own words (before they were deleted). It would also be more impressive than Power, which saw 50 Cent make a hit that turned into a TV series that ran for six seasons.

For now, Vice City is a working title. But there is already a synopsis highlighted by Deadline, which goes like this:

Vice City follows three friends and former soldiers who have returned to their hometown of Miami in the mid-1980s after being dishonorably discharged from the military for their involvement in the Iran-Contra scandal. The three friends team up with a mysterious Colombian immigrant and combine their financial needs and criminal ambitions to form a heist crew. Driven by their need to be environmentally friendly, they embark on a violent and dangerous path in pursuit of the American dream.

Did you expect the singer to be associated with the game in this way?
