Last year, Dr. Dre made headlines GTA OnlineThe most recent update, Contracts. However, it took some convincing to actually get him to appear digitally in the game. According to a new interview, he initially refused because he doesn’t really know much about GTA and thought it was “for kids.”
In an interview with BETTINGDJ Pooh — a screenwriter and music producer who has worked with Rockstar ever since San Andreas—Ask about how Dr. Dre was unconcerned at first when Rockstar presented the idea of him appearing in GTA Online.
“It was just no at first,” Pooh said. “But the initial answer was no because Dre is not a gamer. He just doesn’t play any games. It’s not that he doesn’t like them or something, it’s just that he doesn’t play them. He’s like I don’t make baby stuff. “
It seems strange that someone would assume that GTA Online is a game for kids, but keep in mind that Dr. Dre is a very wealthy man with a huge career and is probably a busy man most days. No wonder he doesn’t find time to sit down and play a GTA game. And if he did sit down to play GTA Onlinehe’ll probably meet a bunch of kids who blow him away with jet skis or beg for money and end up walking away assuming that, yes, it’s a kid’s game.
But DJ Pooh didn’t give up on inviting Dr. Dre in GTA Online. As he said BETTING, he brought a PlayStation to the award-winning rapper’s Calabasas mansion and hooked it up to Dre’s big TV. What Pooh wants Dre to see with his own eyes GTA Online really is, and clears up any misconceptions.

Pooh said: “He was blown away. “He didn’t know you could do all this – all the layers of gameplay people are calling the metaverse, but it’s better than that. He said, ‘This is great,’ and he saw me driving around at a lower speed. We’re here fitting different rims to the car, participating in a shootout, hanging out with my friends, I’ve got a girlfriend — all of that! ”
