Drake’s AI-generated dis track has landed him in legal trouble

Drake is facing backlash for incorporating an AI-generated voice of the late rapper Tupac shakur in his track, Taylor Made Freestyle.

Even though Drake utilized AI-generated voices for several artists, Shakur's estate claimed in a letter obtained by Rolling Stone on Wednesday that Drake did not have authorization to use Tupac's voice.

Additionally, the letter asserted that the song was disrespectful to the legacy of Shakur.

Consequently, Shakur’s estate has served Drake with a cease and desist letter, insisting that he remove Taylor Made Freestyle – a diss track aimed at fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar – within 24 hours.

They further noted that Lamar was a close friend of the estate and has always honored Shakur.

They mentioned that Tupac was killed in a drive-by shooting in 1996. So, Drake using Tupac's AI-generated voice to diss Lamar goes against the image of Tupac, Lamar, and the estate.

Another rapper whose AI-generated voice was used by Drake was Snoop Dogg, who admitted that it took him by surprise.

However, he took it in good faith, responding to it in a lighthearted post.
