Clay Jackson: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:08, 5 May 2010

Clay Jackson, also known as "The Pain Giver" or even "PG", is a famous gangster rapper in the GTA IV era.

In 2008, he has one or more commercially successful albums to speak of, and is releasing his next entitled Love Isn't A Crime. He has unsuccessfully tried his hand at acting (one paparazzi shouts at him during the Hercules incident "how does it feel to be the worst actor in America, Clay?"). Rumors of his homosexuality also surfaced, and he had been spotted before with his blonde male boyfriend Jacob (as seen on The Celebinator's blog).

He is seen in person during the Club Management side missions, in which Luis is tasked with going to Hercules, rescuing Clay and his boyfriend Jacob (hiding from paparazzi inside his tinted PMP 600), and driving them back to the Majestic Hotel. In one conversation, he is heavily in denial by first saying "I'm not Clay! In fact, I can't stand him!", then insisting that he was only auditioning male dancers for his next music video. In an alternate conversation he is much calmer and more social with Luis, explaining that he and Jacob are also business partners, he is planning to buy Jacob expensive sneakers from Japan (a reference to BAPE, an extremely high-end urban clothing line from Japan) and even offers to invite Luis into the hotel suite, saying he looks lonely.

Clay's public image is somewhat based on Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson. His closeted sexuality is inspired by the book Hiding in Hip-Hop by Terrance Dean, which suggests that many prominent black actors, singers and rappers were secretly gay.

Jackson is voiced by Brooklyn rapper Poison Pen.
