Detroit rapper Tee Grizzley has signed a major partnership with esports lifestyle brand XSET, completing the deal inside his own GTA Online server.
In a clip of footage shared online, Tee can be seen inside his Grizzley World RP online server before he receives a phone call from an XSET representative. He and his Grizzley Gang then move to what appears to be a hotel lobby to sign the deal.

“I’m excited to join XSET and take Grizzley Gang Gaming to the next level,” said Grizzley in a statement.
As a part of the partnership, Grizzley and XSET will join forces to invite ex-convicts to join the Grizzley Gang in a bid to rehabilitate them and show them the positive impact gaming can have. Grizzley himself served time for an attempted robbery back in 2014. More recently, he gifted a PC to a friend who was under house arrest, and who is now a professional streamer.
“I’ve always loved gaming for fun, but now it’s so much more than that,” the rapper continued. “I’ve seen how this industry can really change lives and I can’t wait to provide more opportunities for people who have faced similar challenges and adversities as I have.”
