Nigerian Superstar Burna Boy Set for GTA 6 Radio Hosting Role

Globally acclaimed Nigerian artist, Burna Boy, is poised to take on a prominent role in the much-awaited video game, Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6). He will be part of an elite international roster of musicians chosen to anchor radio stations within the game.

The Grammy-winning singer is slated to co-present AfroBank FM, a dedicated in-game radio station, alongside German DJ and producer, Palms Trax. This collaboration aims to introduce a diverse range of African musical genres to the eagerly anticipated gaming title. Players will encounter him as an in-game radio personality, simply identified as 'Burna'.

This isn't Burna Boy’s first venture into the Grand Theft Auto universe; his past contributions include 'Killin Dem,' featuring Zlatan, on GTA V’s iFruit Radio, and the track 'Gettin’ Money' which was part of the GTA Online Cayo Perico update.

He will be joining an already stellar cast of global music icons who are also set to host their own in-game radio shows. This list features Puerto Rican sensation Bad Bunny, acclaimed American vocalist Lana Del Rey, country music favourite Morgan Wallen, Swedish pop star Robyn, as well as rappers Trick Daddy and Trina. Additionally, Kerry King and Tom Araya from the legendary heavy metal band Slayer are also confirmed hosts.

AfroBank FM promises a rich auditory journey through African music, showcasing everything from 20th-century classics and hidden treasures to contemporary genres like Amapiano and 3-step, among others. This latest announcement is widely seen as another significant achievement in Burna Boy’s continuously expanding global music career.

Developed by Rockstar Games, Grand Theft Auto VI is slated for release on November 19, 2026, and will be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.
