The GTA 6 trailer 2 revealed the full name of Jason and also included many voicelines. This led some of the Grand Theft Auto fans to speculate that Roger Craig Smith is the voice behind the character. While the resemblance is there, the artist himself debunked the rumor on May 7, 2025.

Roger shared the following post on his X profile (X/@RogerCraigSmith), stating that he is not involved in the upcoming game.

In a follow-up post, the artist added the following:

“LITERALLY attempting to clarify that it is NOT my voice in that trailer. Just to clarify my earlier clarification. Are we clear? Groovy. Trailer’s amazing, though. Just to clarify.”

This makes it clear that Roger Craig Smith is not involved with the upcoming Grand Theft Auto title. Rockstar Games has historically been known to be very strict with its Non-Disclosure Agreement. If the artist was truly a part of the game, he would have neither agreed nor denied the rumors. Since we got a solid response, we can take it as an official statement.

However, nothing can be said for sure until the artists themselves or Rockstar Games make a statement regarding the matter.

As of now, only one artist has directly stated their involvement in the upcoming game. In January 2024, popular American rapper T-Pain publicly claimed that Rockstar Games hired him to produce music for the upcoming game.

However, we have yet to hear any new song related to T-Pain. Even the GTA 6 trailer 2 song was released in 1986. Therefore, until Rockstar officially plays a T-Pain song in the game, his statement should be taken with a grain of salt.
