Rochell'le is a famous pop singer during the course of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. She does not appear in the game, and is only mentioned in Rockstar's promotional site "Forgotten Legends of Westcoast Rap".

She began her career singing popular ballad songs titled Dreamin, My Dream Came True and Dream Rap, and her image is described as "all tea parties and teddy bears". This is based on Mariah Carey, the bestselling artist of the 1990s, and her self-titled 1989 debut which featured songs like Vision of Love, Alone in Love and Love Takes Time).

This briefly changed when a female rapper, The Real Rochelle, released a song titled Rochell'le, Rochell'le. Rochell'le quickly responded with the highly unexpected diss rap song Rochell'le's Revenge, which was rumored to have been ghost written by her boyfriend, gangsta rap legend Madd Dogg. In the song, she "lyrically destroyed her similarly-named rival with clear logic: simply, that there could only be one Rochell'le, due to the uniqueness of her name and the unusual apostrophe before the final two letters". This string of back-and-forth songs is based on the 1985-1988 Roxanne Wars (Rochell'le being a parody of Roxanne Shante).

After the Rochell'le Wars, her then manager/producer Jimmy Silverman influenced her to take on a more sexualized, hip-hop driven image with the albums Leg$ (1991) and Dangerous Curves (1994), which caused the public to lose interest. This again parodies Mariah Carey and similar events in her career between 1995 and 1999.

Forgotten Legends says that she has disappeared from the scene and people wish to see her return, a reference to Carey's 2001-2004 struggles. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was made in 2004, shortly before Carey made a huge comeback with Emancipation of Mimi in 2005.
