Someone tagged GTA VI's Brooklyn mural, then did it again

Rockstar's hand-painted Jason and Lucia mural in Brooklyn lasted less than a month before someone tagged it.

The mural, at Wythe Avenue and North 11th Street in Williamsburg, was finished on October 10, Beebom reports. Early in November, a graffiti writer who goes by Jelous sprayed a black-and-white tag of his name across its lower half. Kotaku reported it on November 5. He posted the tag on Instagram, where it quickly became one of his most popular posts.

Plenty of fans weren't happy. "Ruined," one commenter wrote, as Kotaku quoted. Others argued the mural was "just a big advertisement and is fair game for a tag."

By November 8 he'd tagged another GTA ad, Dexerto reports, though it didn't say where. Speaking to Brick and Grit, as Dexerto quotes him, he said: "I didn't go over a mural, I tagged an advertisement."

As of Dexerto's report, Rockstar hadn't commented on either tag, or said whether the mural will be fixed before the game launches on November 19.
