In addition, it discards an eventual appearance in GTA VI, if it happens, since it will not reincarnate its unforgettable character.
The original voice actor of Carl "CJ" Johnson in GTA San Andreas, Chris Bellard, also known as Young MayLay, has dispelled any kind of rumor about his possible involvement in the development of Grand Theft Auto VI; a video game not announced today despite numerous speculations.
The artist, very annoying, has charged Rockstar Games through a statement posted on Instagram. The message leaves no doubt: his relationship with the American company did not end well after the launch of GTA San Andreas in 2004. The trigger for the statement comes after the publication of a medium that reported on a possible participation of Bellard as CJ in a hypothetical GTA VI. However, this is not true and is radically denied by him.

“To end the rumors at once: I am not involved in GTA VI in any way. Let them annoy you, Rockstar Games! ”, Among other bad words where they show their distancing from the American giant. Therefore, if the character of Carl "CJ" Johnson returns to a future video game of the Grand Theft Auto series, this would never be played by Chris Bellard.
He is not the only voice actor of a character in the series with problems and disagreements with Rockstar. Others like Ray Liotta (Tommy Vercetty, GTA: Vice City) or Michael Hollick (Niko Bellic, GTA IV) also ended up breaking relationships despite the critical and public success of both iterations.

To kill the rumors! Im not involved in GTA VI at all .. Fucc @Rockstargames period .. CJ will have to be voiced by another MF but not me IDGAF what yall heard ..
There are those who wonder why Grand Theft Auto VI has not even been announced since five to five years passed between the fourth and fifth. We are facing the largest period of emptiness in the history of the recent saga – as far as numbered deliveries are concerned – but perhaps it is the success of GTA V, with more than 115 million units sold, the main trigger for this circumstance . The sales of the fifth numbered episode are still strong; In fact, it has been the best selling video game in Europe this past Christmas.
