Drake is in controversy after using the AI-generated voice of late rapper Tupac Shakur in his new song, Taylor Made Freestyle.
Although the 37-year-old artist used AI-generated voices for several artists, Shakur’s estate alleged in a letter obtained by Rolling Stone on Wednesday that Drake was not authorized to do so.
The letter also claimed that the song was disrespectful to Shakur’s legacy.
As such, Shakur’s estate has issued a cease-and-desist letter to Drake, demanding that he remove the Taylor Made freestyle, which was a diss track directed at fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar, within 24 hours.
He further said that Lamar was a close friend of the estate and had always respected Shakur, who was fatally shot in a drive-by shooting in 1996. Therefore, Drake’s use of Shakur’s AI-generated vocals to disparage Lamar violates Shakur’s promotion. Lamar, and property.
Another rapper whose AI-generated voice was used by Drake was Snoop Dogg, who admitted that it surprised him.
However, he took it in good faith and responded to it in a light-hearted post.
