A few days ago, rapper 50 Cent posted on various social platforms that something “bigger than Power” was coming. As he also posted the photo of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, there was every reason to believe that he was involved in the GTA 6 project. However, he has already removed a number of posts related to the latter.
Although nothing was certain, 50 Cent’s social media posts led many fans to believe that he was involved in Rockstar Games’ upcoming title, Grand Theft Auto 6. It turned out to be a false start. Those who have been following him for a long time should remember the similar cases that happened in 2016. Back then, 50 Cent
As some fans have suggested, it’s possible that 50 Cent was discussing a project that he’s not yet allowed to announce. It wouldn’t be the first time that the rapper has landed in hot water for his social media habits: in 2016, 50 Cent had to answer questions in court about his bankruptcy, while his Instagram posts proved the opposite, flaunting his wealth. The rapper later said that the money in his photos was fake.
As for GTA 6, it’s still the talk of the town. This title has been in the news since last September when a 17-year-old hacker and his team released an hour-long video stolen from Rockstar’s development computer.
Will Bryson Tiller Star In GTA 6?
Interestingly, singer and rapper Bryson Tiller posted an Instagram story that hinted at his involvement in the GTA 6 project. In the story, we can see a poster with the words “bta IV.” There seems to be nothing strange about this post. At least it has nothing in common with the topic we are talking about. But the thing is that the poster is designed like a GTA logo. In the bottom right corner of the image is the ESRB’s “M” rating symbol. Although we should also mention that not all fans think he will be starring in the upcoming title. Instead, they think the Tiller post could simply be a reference to his fourth studio album.

Incidentally, stock market tracker SeekingAlpha is certain that Rockstar Games will use blockchain technology in GTA 6. “GTA 6 is likely to be far more than a traditional game and more of a platform,” they write.
New Technologies In The Upcoming GTA
According to the source, the studio could introduce an in-game cryptocurrency mechanism that rewards players for completing certain missions. While this may sound suspicious to many “conservative” gamers, this is where our world is heading. We mean, the development of blockchain and cryptocurrency has all the chances to serve as a stepping stone into the metaverse.
“Take-Two may even adopt blockchain and cryptocurrency in GTA 6, which would further the concept of a GTA metaverse. Given everything that has been leaked so far, GTA 6 is likely to be far more than a traditional game and more of a platform,” SeekingAlpha said.
On the other hand, we should recall that Rockstar placed strict restrictions on the use of cryptocurrency and NFTs in the GTA 5 online servers. Apart from that, the studio has clearly stated that users can’t ‘mod’ the game to include or even resemble cryptocurrency and NFTs.
[A mod in video games is an altered version of the game from the original.]
Well, we will get more information on this in the coming months, as Rockstar is planning to release GTA 6 this year. So if the studio dares to include cryptocurrency and NFTs, Rockstar will have a serious advantage over its competitors.
