What happened to CJ in GTA 5?
CJ, or Carl Johnson, the protagonist from GTA San Andreas, doesn’t actually appear in GTA 5. But there's an easter egg in a mission where Franklin and Lamar pass by some guys on bikes who resemble CJ, Big Smoke, and Sweet, doing a drive-by shooting. It's more of a nod to San Andreas fans than anything. So, CJ isn’t really in GTA 5's storyline.

CJ? Oh, he’s living the good life far away from Los Santos' crazy life. At least, that's what I like to think. Since he's not in GTA 5, he's probably chilling in Liberty City or maybe took up golfing. Who knows? LOL
Nothing happened to CJ in GTA 5 coz he's not in it. Rockstar decided not to bring him back for the story. Instead, they threw us a bone with a tiny easter egg. That's all we got.
