GTA 6 Rumor: Bad Bunny and Diplo Credited on “Welcome to Vice City” Song

A new music registration is creating buzz in the GTA community just days before the big launch.
On November 10, 2026, a GTAForums user found a song titled “Welcome to Vice City” listed in the Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC) database. The entry credits Bad Bunny and Diplo as writers, along with several other people.
The discovery spread fast. Many fans now wonder if this could be a track for Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album or even the game’s opening sequence.
What the MLC Entry Shows
The registration lists the full title as “WELCOME TO VICE CITY.” It names these writers:
- Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio (Bad Bunny)
- Thomas Wesley Pentz (Diplo)
- Plus Roberto José Rosado Torres, Marco Daniel Borrero, Maximilian Hans Jaeger, Jorge Arteaga, Raquel Maya de Attias, and a few others (some names appear with slight spelling differences)
Only a small portion of the publishing shares has been filed so far. There is no released recording attached yet, no official length, and no link to any specific album or game in the database itself.
Why Fans Connect It to GTA 6
Several details make the link feel strong:
- The title matches the style of GTA V’s famous “Welcome to Los Santos.”
- The game and its official companion album both drop on November 19, 2026 — just nine days after the registration appeared.
- GTA VI: The Album has 34 original tracks, but only about nine singles have been released so far. Plenty of songs are still unannounced.
- Bad Bunny already has a big role in the game. He hosts the Latin radio station Cocoteo FM (as the character El Martillo) with RaiNao. His song “EoO” is confirmed to play on that station.
Bad Bunny and Diplo have worked together before, which also fits. Some of the other credited writers are people who regularly collaborate with Bad Bunny.
Important Reality Check
This is still only a rumor. The MLC entry does not mention Rockstar Games, Atlantic Records, GTA, or the album at all. “Vice City” is also a real nickname for Miami, so the song could be for something completely different.
Rockstar has not confirmed anything. The album and the in-game radio stations are separate projects, so even if the track ends up on the album it might not play on the radios.
What Happens Next
Players will know the truth very soon. The full GTA VI: The Album tracklist should appear around launch day on November 19. If a recording of “Welcome to Vice City” shows up before then, or if Rockstar or the artists say something, the picture will become clearer.
For now, it’s one of the most interesting music clues we’ve seen this close to release. Whether it becomes the official welcome to Vice City or just a cool coincidence, the hype is real.
GTA 6 launches on November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Pre-loading is already available for people who pre-ordered.
