The 'Florida Joker' from the GTA 6 trailer now wants millions from Rockstar after claiming 'Y'all took my likeness'
techradar.comGrand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) finally got its first trailer earlier this month (December 4), and while it arrived to much applause, there was at least one person who didn't look upon it so favorably.
One said person is someone who is known as the 'Florida Joker,' Lawrence Sullivan. Recently, he took to <a data-analytics-id=«inline-link» href=«https://twitter.com/GTAVI_Countdown/status/1733316793832190289?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1733316793832190289%7Ctwgr%5E664efa5fa30b44cb383aa55341c77e714bfd0af3%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamesradar.com%2Finfamous-florida-joker-who-believes-gta-6-trailer-parodies-him-now-wants-dollar1-2m-from-rockstar-games%2F» target="_blank" data-url=«https://twitter.com/GTAVI_Countdown/status/1733316793832190289?ref_src=» https:>Twitter
