Tupac Shakur's estate has issued a cease-and-desist letter to Drake, demanding the removal of the 'Taylor Made Freestyle' diss track against Kendrick Lamar, which features an AI-generated voice and cameo of the late rapper. The estate's attorney, Howard King, stated that the use of Tupac's voice without authorization is a 'flagrant violation' of legal rights and a 'blatant abuse' of Tupac's legacy, and also mentioned Taylor Swift in the context. The estate has given Drake 24 hours to comply with the demand to remove the track from all social media and streaming platforms.
