Kodak Black Confirmed For GTA VI As Role Stays Under Wraps

Kodak Black has confirmed that he appears in Grand Theft Auto VI, adding the artist’s own word to a launch image that Rockstar Games published without a caption.

Kodak and his attorney, Bradford Cohen, confirmed the appearance in a social media video.

That confirmation adds the key detail confirming AllHipHop’s November 6 coverage of Rockstar’s launch gallery. At the time, the official image showed a man whose face tattoos, hair and 1800 Block chain closely resembled the Pompano Beach rapper.

Rockstar did not name the figure, and Kodak had not publicly described his involvement.

Rockstar released the gallery on November 5 as part of the final two-week push toward the game’s November 19 launch. Its announcement directed fans to a larger collection of screenshots from Vice City and the wider state of Leonida, but it did not identify the people shown in those images.

Kodak’s confirmation strengthens the identification but doesn’t fill in the rest of the picture.

Rockstar has not announced a character name, credited him as a voice actor or described a mission tied to his appearance.

The South Florida connection gives the cameo a natural setting. Kodak, whose legal name is Bill Kapri, is from Pompano Beach.

GTA VI returns the series to Vice City, Rockstar’s fictional version of Miami, and expands the map across a Florida-inspired state.

The studio has used regional music, landmarks and nightlife throughout the rollout. Kodak’s music was already connected to the game before the gallery appeared, but the new confirmation places the rapper himself inside the world Rockstar has built.

Players will get their first chance to see how much of Kodak’s appearance survived into the finished game when Grand Theft Auto VI arrives November 19.
