Drake Removes Kendrick Diss Track Over Tupac Estate's AI Vocal Lawsuit Threat

Apr 25, 2024, 02:43 PM

Tupac Shakur's estate, represented by attorney Howard King, has issued a cease-and-desist letter to Drake, demanding the removal of his Kendrick Lamar diss track 'Taylor Made Freestyle' from all platforms within 24 hours. The controversy centers on the track's use of AI-generated vocals that mimic Tupac and Snoop Dogg, which the estate claims is a 'blatant abuse' of the late rapper's legacy and a 'flagrant violation' of legal rights. Drake complied by removing the track.
