Check my flair for your answer lol. During the development, he wasn't. There are many plotholes in him unlike Smoke, who intended to be a betrayer from the very beginning.

  • During The Green Sabre mission and its fallout, CJ only laments about Big Smoke's betrayal. He never mentions Ryder's name again until the mission where you kill him.
  • In all his post-betrayal appearances, Ryder has only two spoken lines, and both are in the Pier 69 mission where he dies. "C...Can't stop me..." and "I'm a motherf*cking genius!" The second is as generic for Ryder's character as it gets, and the first one sounds like he's injured (even though he says it before you attack him). Was he supposed to say it under different circumstances?
  • In the cutscene where CJ and Sweet's mother is murdered, Ryder can be seen shooting back at the green Sabre.
  • Unlike Smoke, Ryder shows no suspicious behavior prior to his betrayal, and his missions are beneficial to the gang (like getting better weapons).

People are speculating that R* had some dispute with his voice actor, and then just made him a busta due to voice actor no longer working with them. That's why he only speaks pre-recorded lines in Pier 69. A fantastic video about this topic is here, which explains things in detail. I recommend watching it:
