One person is not happy with the makers of GTA 6.
Earlier this week, Rockstar Games released the trailer for their highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto sequel.
The trailer parodied several real-life moments from Florida throughout the years while Tom Petty’s “Love Is Long Road” plays in the background.
The first trailer for GTA 6 is finally here.

One guy named Lawrence Sullivan, also known as ‘The Florida Joker,” believed he was being parodied by Rockstar games in GTA 6.

Sullivan is now demanding that Rockstar Games pay him upwards of $2 million for using his likeness in the games.
“Everybody saying that I’m hallucinating, that I’m not the joker from GTA 6, you’re out your god damn nuggets…that’s me, that’s the person they got the inspiration from …GTA we gotta talk…or not you’re gonna have to give me like a mil or two…holler at me GTA, Rockstar games. Florida Joker ain’t having that.’
