Drake’s Instagram post featuring an AI Tupac track has been removed at the late rapper’s estate’s request due to concerns of “abusing his legacy.”
The megastar Drake had been ordered to delete the track by the late rapper’s estate for “abusing his legacy”.
Last Friday, the Canadian megastar shared the Taylor Made Freestyle, which utilized AI to replicate Snoop Dogg’s style. However, reports emerged on Wednesday this week stating that Tupac’s estate had instructed Drake to remove the track within 24 hours. By Thursday evening, the post featuring the clip disappeared from the rapper’s @Champagnepapi account. Neither party has issued any public statements since the track was taken down.
Billboard magazine reported that Howard King, representing Tupac’s estate, issued a cease-and-desist letter to Drake on Tuesday. The letter claimed Drake’s Taylor Made Freestyle was a clear violation of the law and an exploitation of Tupac’s legacy.
Expressing dismay and disappointment, the letter warned Drake to remove the track by a specified deadline, threatening legal action if he failed to comply. Additionally, King highlighted Drake’s past objection to his voice being replicated in the viral track Heart on My Sleeve, which also imitated the voice of Canadian artist The Weeknd.
The latest installment in the ongoing diss track feud between Drake and rival Kendrick Lamar, titled “Taylor Made Freestyle,” featured AI-generated lines aimed at Kendrick from Tupac and Snoop Dogg, reportedly mentioned in a legal letter. The letter emphasized Kendrick’s respect for Tupac’s legacy. In Drake’s verse, he referenced Taylor Swift, dubbing her the dominant force in the music industry and recalled a line from his recent album, “For All the Dogs,” where he mentioned adjusting his album release to avoid clashing with Swift’s.
He released his freestyle track shortly after her latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” came out last week.
Tupac Shakur, known by his stage name 2Pac, was a highly revered figure in the world of hip-hop. He unveiled his first album in 1991 and achieved global sales of over 75 million records. Some of his notable chart-topping tracks include “California Love,” “All Eyez On Me,” and “Changes.” Tragically, he passed away in 1996 at the age of 25, succumbing to gunshot wounds sustained in a drive-by assault in Las Vegas.
Duane “Keffe D” Davis, a former gang leader, has been accused of Shakur’s murder and entered a plea of not guilty in November at the age of 60. The BBC reached out to Mr. King, the lawyer representing Tupac’s estate, and contacted Drake’s representatives for their input on the matter.
It seems like there was quite a stir on social media when fans noticed that Drake had posted a video featuring what appeared to be a new Tupac track created through artificial intelligence. But just as quickly as it appeared, the video vanished from his Instagram feed, leaving fans puzzled and speculating about the reasons behind the sudden removal. Could it be a technical glitch, or is there a bigger story behind this intriguing snippet of music? We can’t help but wonder what might have led to the disappearance of this AI Tupac track, and it looks like we’ll have to wait and see if there’s more to come about this mysterious musical moment. Let’s stay tuned!
