Quick answer

Is GTA 6 sponsoring Druski?

Rockstar Games is the presenting sponsor of Druski's new Coulda Been Records episode, the OLD HEADS Auditions special he hosts with Sacha Baron Cohen as Ali G. It went up on YouTube at 1am UK time on 24 October with a spoken GTA 6 read and a preorder link. Neither Rockstar nor Druski has posted about it.

Druski's newest audition show opens with a GTA 6 plug. About 80 seconds in, the episode is "presented by Grand Theft Auto 6 from Rockstar Games", according to YouTube's automatic captions, so the exact wording may differ slightly.

Is Rockstar sponsoring Druski's Coulda Been Records?

Yes, the episode shows it. The read gives the 19 November release date and asks viewers to preorder the Ultimate Edition now on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X or S.

The video description also links to the GTA 6 editions page. Druski posted "OUT NOW" on X at 12.57am UK time without mentioning the sponsor.

Who else sponsors the Druski episode?

GTA 6 leads, and two other brands have reads later on.

Has Rockstar announced the Druski deal?

No, and the fee and terms are not public. Neither the studio nor Druski had posted about it on X, and we found no outlet reporting it as of 3.30am UK time on 24 October.

GameRoll first spotted the read at 2.59am UK time. The studio advertised for an Associate Director of Creator Strategy to run "organic and paid" creator campaigns, GTA BOOM reported in February.

The plug joins the NBC TV ad and the Miami Beach campaign. Our Ultimate Edition guide sets out what the upgrade adds.
