How much does GTA pay for music?
It's not public knowledge exactly how much GTA pays for each song, but imagine the number has a lot of zeros! The GTA franchise is known for its killer soundtracks featuring a wide range of artists, from underground to mainstream. One can assume that securing licenses for such an eclectic mix of music requires a substantial budget. Rockstar Games, the publisher behind GTA, likely negotiates individual deals for each track, making the cost variable depending on the song's popularity and the artist's clout.

Pfft, if only the artists could pay us for all the times we had to listen to their tracks on repeat while pulling off heists. But seriously, it's a closely guarded secret. What's sure is that Rockstar spares no expense making sure GTA's radio stations are jam-packed with bangers.
Rockstar probably pays more for music than my entire game collection is worth. Licensing fees vary a lot though, so there's no one-size-fits-all answer here.
