Tupac Shakur’s Estate Plans To Sue Drake Over AI Voice Imitation
Written by Tariq on April 25, 2024
Drake’s new song Taylor Made (Freestyle), uses an AI-generated imitation of Tupac’s voice. Now, Tupac Shakur’s estate has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Drake calling it “a blatant abuse of the legacy of one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time.” In a letter obtained by USA TODAY Wednesday, the estate of Tupac and his mother, Afeni Shakur, says it’s “deeply dismayed and disappointed by your unauthorized use of Tupac’s voice and personality in the ‘Taylor Made (Freestyle)’ record.” The letter continues, “We demand that you immediately cease and desist from any further publication and exploitation of the Record, and that you immediately take ALL NECESSARY steps to remove it from all platforms where it is publicly available.”
