2Pac’s Estate Threatens Legal Action Against Drake for AI-Generated Feature of Late Rapper

The late rapper 2Pac’s estate has issued a cease-and-desist letter to Drake for using a computer-generated replica of the West Coast icon’s voice on his latest song, “Taylor Made Freestyle.” The estate, represented by litigator Howard King, is demanding that Drake remove the track within 24 hours or face legal action.

In the letter, the estate expresses deep disappointment over the unauthorized use of 2Pac’s voice and personality, calling it a violation of his publicity and legal rights. The estate also criticizes Drake for using 2Pac’s voice against Kendrick Lamar, a friend of the estate who has shown respect for 2Pac’s legacy.

2Pac’s brother, Mopreme Shakur, has publicly reprimanded Drake for the AI-assisted feature, stating that it was inappropriate for Drake to use his sibling to disrespect another rapper. He believes that Drake should have addressed his issues with Kendrick Lamar directly instead of resorting to what he calls the “nuclear option.”

Drake’s track, “Taylor Made Freestyle,” openly embraces artificial intelligence by featuring the voices of 2Pac and Snoop Dogg to convey alternate perspectives through Drake’s lyrics. The track has sparked controversy and escalated the ongoing beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, with other artists taking sides in the feud.

As the situation continues to unfold, fans are eagerly awaiting Drake’s response to the estate’s ultimatum and the potential legal repercussions that may follow. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
