Florida Joker has now demanded Rockstar to play the inspired character in GTA 6. Here’s what he said and how fans reacted to it.
Since the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 was released, the anticipation for the game has been over the roof. Fans have been hard at work looking for clues that will lead them to the forthcoming Rockstar game based in Vice City, and they’ve been vocal about their anticipation.
A number of real-life incidents from Miami, Florida were recreated in the trailer, which featured a convicted felon, who looked like the real-life Florida Joker Lawrence Sullivan. Sullivan has been threatening to sue Rockstar Games over the use of his likeness in GTA 6 since the unveiling, claiming that the company will not “pay him up” for the rights.
Now that he has waited more than a month for an answer from Rockstar, Florida Joker claiming he deserves credit and that they should let him voice the character in GTA 6.

He further continues, “Give me a few mil, give me some royalty, let’s do that deal. Let’s make history happen man.” Furthermore while requesting Rockstar and Take-Two for the deal, he tries once again to convince them by saying, “Y’all see what I did for the game. We made news, we made the blogs, everybody loves me, man. Find in the entire Florida state that character has been traded off of me. Stop playin’ with me. If I gotta sue y’all, I will.”
While both fans and existing Rockstar Games actors have slammed Sullivan for their ridiculous threats, several users turned in their views on his latest demand. One such user said, “It would be hilarious if it turns out that this guy and Rockstar have actually started this as a weird viral marketing campaign up to the release of the game.”
Another chimed in, “Lawyers told bro to pack it up, now he’s trying to secure the voice deal.” A third added, “Someone shut him up lol. What happened to the final warning? Warning converted into negotiation now?”
