AI Tupac track vanishes from Drake's Instagram

A Drake track featuring an AI-generated version of Tupac Shakur’s voice has disappeared after lawyers for the late rapper reportedly threatened to sue.

The Canadian megastar uploaded Taylor Made Freestyle, which also used AI to mimic Snoop Dogg, last Friday.

Then on Wednesday this week reports said Tupac’s estate had ordered Drake to delete the track within 24 hours.

The post containing the clip vanished from the rapper’s @Champagnepapi account on Thursday evening.

Neither side has commented publicly since the track was removed.

Music magazine Billboard reported that Howard King, a lawyer for Tupac’s estate sent the cease-and-desist letter to Drake on Tuesday.

It called Taylor Made Freestyle a “flagrant violation” of the law and an “abuse” of Tupac’s legacy.

The letter said it was “dismayed and disappointed” and warned that the estate would “pursue all of its legal remedies” if he did not take the track down by the deadline.
