Canadian rapper drake he removed his song from his networks ‘Taylor Made Freestyle‘, in which he used an artificial intelligence (AI) generated voice of the late rapper Tupac Shakur after the late rapper’s legal team threatened him with a complaint.
The asset managers of Tupac -who died at the age of 25 without having children- gave drake 24 hours to withdraw the song or face a lawsuit, as Billboard published on Wednesday.
And, as can be seen, the Canadian rapper opted for the first option, since he removed the song from his X profile.
Because ‘Taylor Made‘ was never officially released on any music platform, it is unclear if Drake directly made money from the creation of the song.
Drake had used AI to recreate the voice of Tupacand also that of the rapper Snoop Doggin a ‘tiraera’ (a song made to attack another person) against another icon of the genre, Kendrick Lamarwinner of a pulitzer.
After the release of the song, which came out on April 19, Snoop Dogg He uploaded a video to Instagram with a variety of emoticons apparently indicating bewilderment.
Despite using this technology in his latest work, drake has in the past been very critical of creators who have used AI to duplicate their voice and musical style.
