For those who don't know, this was a mod that unlocked an adult-themed minigame that **Rockstar**had hidden in the **GTA San Andreas** files. The whole thing got so serious that it even made it to the **U.S.** Senate! **You can check out my full interview with Young Maylay in the player below:** **Check it out on YouTube:** [CJ BROKE HIS SILENCE! Exclusive Interview with Young Maylay – 22 Years After GTA San Andreas! (Watch)](https://youtu.be/4yQs9Ora4bo) I asked **Young Maylay** what he thought of all this commotion, and, of course, he made light of the situation.

But, according to Maylay, it backfired. He told me, laughing: **"She banned the game, right? Okay, but that did nothing but make it more popular."** O artigo continua após as sugestões[CJ actor from GTA San Andreas reveals beef with cousin Franklin from GTA 5](https://en.viciados.net/cj-actor-from-gta-san-andreas-reveals-beef-with-cousin-franklin-from-gta-5/) [GTA San Andreas | CJ voice actor reveals real trauma of Big Smoke’s betrayal](https://en.viciados.net/gta-san-andreas-cj-voice-actor-reveals-real-trauma-of-big-smokes-betrayal/) [GTA San Andreas | Young Maylay reveals that he lived through the real Los Angeles riots in 1992](https://en.viciados.net/gta-san-andreas-young-maylay-reveals-that-he-lived-through-the-real-los-angeles-riots-in-1992/) He even speculated on how the senator discovered the mod: **“She probably saw her grandchildren playing that shit or somehow it ended up on her desk.”** In the end, the censorship attempt only served to make everyone want to play it even more. ## Did Young Maylay record the “spicy” lines? One question I’ve always had was whether he actually recorded the audio for those hidden scenes. **Maylay**was honest and said he doesn’t remember making any specific sounds or lines for the minigame: **“*I don’t remember doing that. I think it’s pretty much just the graphics they put in there*.”** Apparently, **Rockstar**used animations that were already in the code, without requiring new voice recordings from our eternal **CJ**. ## Young Maylay comments on the rarity of the black cover for GTA San Andreas A golden tip he gave to collectors was about the difference between the physical versions of the game. Because of the controversy, **Rockstar**had to re-release the "clean" version of the game. Maylay explained how to identify the original (and rare) version that still has the mod code: **"*If you have the original copy, the entire CD, the game cover is black. Now the others… are red, or a different color because that’s when they removed Hot Coffee from it***.**"** If you have the one with the black cover, treasure it! **Maylay**emphasized that accessing **Hot Coffee** wasn’t for just anyone; it required codes and effort: **“*You have to really want to do it*.”** And when I told him that we here in **Brazil** have always been masters at modding the game and creating our own versions, he was full of praise: ***“For you guys to be out there pirating games, you’ve got some really smart people out there, man!*”** ****Check it out on YouTube:**[Exclusive: Interview with Young Maylay, the actor who played Carl Johnson (CJ) in GTA San Andreas](https://viciados.net/entrevista-young-maylay-carl-johnson-cj-gta-san-andreas)** Do you like the **Viciados Portal**?
