Tupac Estate Opposes Drake's AI-Generated Tupac and Snoop Dogg Voices in Diss Track

Apr 26, 2024, 10:17 AM

The estate of Tupac Shakur has expressed strong opposition to Drake's use of a voice imitation of the late rapper in his diss track 'Taylor Made' aimed at Kendrick Lamar. The estate issued a cease-and-desist letter to Drake, stating they are 'deeply dismayed' and would 'never have given its approval' for the use of Tupac's voice. The controversy extends to the use of AI technology in the track, which also imitated Snoop Dogg's voice, raising significant questions about artists' rights and AI regulation in the music industry. Following the legal dispute, Drake removed the AI-generated track from his Instagram.
