Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B has joined the music lineup for one of the most anticipated video games of the decade. She released her new track, “Don’t Chart,” for Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album. Dropped late Thursday, October 8, 2026, the song is part of an ongoing rollout by Rockstar Games and Atlantic Records ahead of the game’s launch.
The single’s release follows days of fan speculation. On October 7, Cardi B posted a cryptic image on social media. She wore the exact gray “BADDIE” hoodie featured on the game’s female protagonist, Lucia, in the extended gameplay trailer. Spotify also briefly listed the rapper for Track 19 on the upcoming soundtrack before removing the placeholder, confirming suspicions across the internet.
