Drake Removes ‘Taylor Made Freestyle’ After Lawsuit Threat Over AI Tupac

Drake has taken down his Kendrick Lamar diss 'Taylor Made Freestyle' after Tupac's estate objected to the use of an alleged AI-generated Tupac verse.

Drake shared the song last Friday, releasing it on the heels of “Push Ups,” his response to Lamar’s verse on Futrue and Metro Boomin’s “Like That.” While “Push Ups” got an official release, “Taylor Made Freestyle” was only ever posted as a video on Drake’s social media pages, not on streaming services, where it would’ve earned royalties. “Taylor Made” opened with what appeared to be an AI Tupac trying to give Lamar advice on how to hit back at Drake: “Call him a bitch for me/Talk about him liking young girls as a gift for me.” The song also featured an ostensibly AI-generated verse from Snoop Dogg. Unsurprisingly, “Taylor Made Freestyle” earned the ire of Tupac’s estate, which sent Drake a cease-and-desist letter earlier this week, demanding he take down the song or face legal action.
