About

Stuck in NSP refers to a catchphrase said by a Non-Stop-Pop FM station radio host in the GTA V game. The phrase and audio were later turned into a TikTok trend that started in October 2023, in which people pretended to be visiting the fictional town where the game takes place, Los Santos, using real footage of Los Angeles and other areas that looked similar to the GTA city.
