Bad Bunny and Lana Del Rey will take to the virtual airwaves as hosts of some of the featured radio stations in Grand Theft Auto 6.

Bad Bunny and fellow Puerto Rican singer-songwriter RaiNao will appear in the video game as El Martillo and La Gata, hosts of Cocoteo FM, which focuses on modern Latin music. Meanwhile Del Rey and Morgan Wallen will link up as MW and Delta Dawne, hosts of Back Country Radio, which specializes in classic and outlaw country music. Del Rey’s husband, Jeremy Dufrene, will even have a bit role as Mud Dog Mike, Back Country Radio’s roving reporter, swamp meteorologist, and airboat captain (which Dufrene is in real life).


Del Rey spoke about contributing to the new GTA after being a fan of the franchise for years: “One of the coolest things about this is the fact that the first time some of our family got to LA they actually knew the roads because of playing the game.” (A few GTA installments are partly set in a Los Angeles-like city called Los Santos. The new one is set in the Florida-inspired state of Leonida.)

“On so many different levels this is super special and a privilege,” Del Rey said. “Can’t wait to get into the game and start playing.”

Along with Cocoteo FM and Back Country Radio, GTA 6 will boast four more featured stations with notable hosts. Robyn and model/actress Alex Consani will helm the pop station Flash FM; Trick Daddy and Trina will spin regional rap and classic hip-hop on Dirty South Classics; Nigerian superstar Burna Boy and DJ Palms Trax will helm AfroBank FM, featuring contemporary and classic African music; and Slayer’s Kerry King and Tom Araya will oversee the heavy metal station, The Chamber 106.6. Fans can preview all six featured stations over on the GTA 6 website.

GTA 6 will also have its own soundtrack album with 34 original tracks made for the game. A full track list hasn’t been revealed yet, but Travis Scott, Morgan Wallen, Rauw Alejandro, Yung Lean, and Keith Richards have released songs for the soundtrack. The GTA 6 album will arrive Nov. 19, the same day as the highly anticipated game.

Sean Combs Ordered to Pay Nearly $500,000 in Legal Fees Over Failed Defamation Lawsuit

Sean Combs has been ordered to pay nearly $500,000 in legal fees after losing his defamation lawsuit against NBCUniversal for its 2025 Peacock documentary, Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy.

A New York state judge ordered the Bad Boy founder to pay NBCUniversal’s high-paid lawyers $477,700 for bringing the unsuccessful suit, which was dismissed in April. (Combs filed an appeal.) Although Combs owes nearly half a million dollars, that is a significant reduction from the $990,000 legal bill the attorneys originally sought, according to court papers filed Tuesday.

The 2027 Grammys’ Best Pop Solo Performance Nominees Should Ring in New Artists

Leading up to the Grammy nominations on Nov. 16, “Rolling Stone” is breaking down 11 different categories. For each, we’re predicting the nominees, as well as who will (and who should) win on Grammy night.

The Grammy Award for Best Pop Solo Performance was introduced 14 years ago, merging Best Female, Male, and Instrumental Pop Vocal Performance into one category. Among its biggest winners are vocal powerhouses Adele and Olivia Rodrigo, though the category is not without its surprises. Lola Young won for her quietly powerful performance of “Messy” in 2026, beating out nominees Lady Gaga and Sabrina Carpenter, while 2025 saw Miley Cyrus’ ubiquitous “Flowers” win the accolade. Best Pop Solo Performance can be a space where the Recording Academy recognizes — and perhaps awards — artists with songs that truly connect with the world, regardless of vocal chops.

Rush Interview: Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Anika Nilles on Reinventing the Band

Soon after Rush's debut Los Angeles dates for the Fifty Something, Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and touring drummer Anika Nilles sat down with Rolling Stone for their most in-depth interviews yet on the band's miraculous return. (The band's new touring line-up in the wake of the 2020 death of drummer Neil Peart also includes keyboardist Loren Gold). Those interviews spawned a cover story in collaboration with Rolling Stone Canada — but there was even more from the conversations. Read Lee, Lifeson, and Nilles' joint interview below for the first time, or watch our new YouTube video..

Anika, I was reading that at some point you struggled with stage fright. I know that's probably something you had mostly overcome, but how does that play into the highest-pressure night of your life, night one of this tour?
Anika Nilles: I felt some pressure, but I was always focused on the music and get everything sorted, and I was trying to not let all the pressure come too much into my brain. But I also have some calming routines which I trained through the last six months, which were definitely helpful on the first night.

Jack White Slams Trump Over Comment That Iran ‘Take Out’ L.A., San Diego: ‘Worst American of All Time’

Following U.S. President Donald Trump‘s suggestion that Iran could “take out” Los Angeles and San Diego during a rally speech Monday night in Nebraska, musician Jack White posted a message for Trump supporters living in the regions.

“Hey republicans and conservatives that live in L.A. and San Diego; how do you feel about your Fuhrer recommending that the cities you live in get attacked?” White wrote in a social media post Tuesday. “Let me take a wild guess: it was a joke, owning the libs, insert cult rhetoric here, etc. The allegiance these people have to this corrupt felon is so laughable and ignorant.”

Will Smith, DJ Jazzy Jeff to Retell Origin Story With ‘215’ Scripted Series

Apparently there’s a whole lot more to the “Fresh Prince” Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff‘s origin story than maxin’, relaxin’ all cool, and shootin’ some B-ball outside of the school. The duo are working together again now on a scripted series, 215, that will dramatize their struggle to break out of West Philadelphia to perform hip-hop on the world stage.

The show, of course, is set in West Philly in the late Eighties. “It follows a quick-witted teenage rapper, the DJ who is his musical other half, and the friends who helped fuel the dream,” the official synopsis says. “Together they chase a record deal, money and a way out as the city’s hip-hop scene takes off. Along the way they deal with label meetings, hometown loyalty, sudden fame and the friendships that hold them together, or almost don’t.”
