Sheryl Crow Slams Drake for Using AI to Recreate Tupac’s Voice on His Kendrick Lamar Diss Track: ‘It’s Hateful’ and ‘Antithetical’ to Life


Sheryl Crow says it's "hateful" to use artificial intelligence to bring back the dead.

She specifically called out Drake for using AI to recreate the voice of late rapper Tupac on his Kendrick Lamar diss track “Taylor Made Freestyle” in April. “Not only is the record a flagrant violation of Tupac’s publicity and the estate’s legal rights, it is also a blatant abuse of the legacy of one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time,” his statement added. “I did a session the other day and this young songwriter had this incredible song, but she needed a guy to sing on it so that she could pitch it to male singers in Nashville,” Crow explained at the time.
