In the diss track titled ‘Taylor Made Freestyle,’ Drake also used Snoop Dogg’s voice created by an Artificial Intelligence (AI)
One of rap’s most recent popular diss tracks could spark controversy: after Drake to use Artificial intelligence (AI) to simulate voice Tupac Shakur in “Taylor Made Freestyle,” the estate of the rapper who died on September 13, 1996 may sue Drake.
In an extrajudicial notification, the estate described Drake as “a blatant violation” of the law, as well as being a “blatant abuse” of the legendary rapper, responsible for hits like “California Love” It is “Hit Em Up.”
“The estate is deeply dismayed and disappointed by the unauthorized use of the voice and personality of Tupac. The song is not only a blatant violation of publicity Tupac and the estate’s legal rights, but it is also a blatant abuse of the legacy of one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time. The State would never have given its approval for this use,” said the litigant Howard King (via billboard).
The unauthorized and equally disheartening use of Tupac against Kendrick Lamara good friend of the State who gave nothing but respect to Tupac and his legacy, publicly and privately, compounds the insult.
