Ice Cube is threatening a lawsuit for anyone who uses AI (artificial intelligence) to recreate his voice.
“I don’t wanna hear an AI Drake song,” he said in a new interview with the Full Send podcast, Complex reports. “Yeah, I don’t wanna hear that bullshit. He should sue whoever made it.”
Most recently, Drake responded to AI rapping Ice Spice’s “Munch” in his voice.
“This the final straw, AI,” Drake wrote on his Instagram Story on (April 14), Yahoo reports. The message included a screenshot of a post from The Shade Room with a headline that read, “Universal Music asks streaming services to block AI companies from accessing their songs.”
Cube said if he finds himself in a similar situation he’s taking legal action.
“And I’mma sue the muthaf*cka who made it and the people and the platform who play it,” Cube said during the podcast interview.
“It’s like a sample, you know what I mean? Somebody can’t take your original voice and manipulate it without having to pay. I think A.I. is demonic [and] I think A.I. is going to get a backlash from organic people,” he continued.
