The Nigerian superstar will help curate AfroBank FM in the upcoming video game, bringing African music to its fictional state of Leonida.

Lagos, Nigeria — Nigerian Afrobeats star Burna Boy is set to co-host AfroBank FM, a new in-game radio station in Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6), alongside German DJ and producer Palms Trax.

Rockstar Games announced the station on October 8, revealing plans to feature African music spanning different generations and genres, including Amapiano and 3-step.

The announcement gives Burna Boy a role in shaping the game’s musical experience, moving beyond the inclusion of his songs on a video game soundtrack.

AfroBank FM will bring together African classics, lesser-known recordings and contemporary tracks, introducing players to music from across the continent.

Burna Boy and Palms Trax will serve as the station’s hosts, with the playlist reflecting a mix of established African sounds and newer electronic music styles.

The station is among the musical offerings announced for Grand Theft Auto VI, the latest instalment in Rockstar Games’ popular video game franchise.
