Florida Joker’ DEMANDS $1-2 million from Rockstar for STEALING his likeness in GTA VI
Share
Last week, Rockstar Games astonished fans with the official unveiling of GTA VI, showcasing remarkable graphical enhancements, introducing key characters, and offering tantalizing glimpses of the expansive in-game world. Confirmed to make a return is the iconic Vice City, while reports suggest that GTA VI will boast an entire state for players to traverse.
Beyond its visual splendor, the trailer ingeniously pays homage to classic Florida memes that served as inspiration for the game's characters, in-game events, and overall atmosphere. Enthusiastic Floridian fans praised Rockstar for the "too realistic" portrayal of their home, a feat expected from the renowned game developer.
However, not everyone was impressed, notably Lawrence 'Florida Joker' Sullivan, whose likeness appears in a scene referencing his infamous mugshot, which became a meme for its resemblance to the DC comic character. Despite an initial response expressing the need for a conversation with GTA, Sullivan has now taken to TikTok, requesting a substantial sum, "GTA, we gotta talk. Or not, you gotta give me like a mil or two… Florida Joker ain't having that. Y'all took my likeness, Y'all took my life."
