In a surprising turn of events, Drake's latest song release has landed him in hot water with the legal team representing the late rapper Tupac Shakur. Billboard reports that Tupac's estate is prepared to take the Canadian rapper to court if his recently released track, "Taylor Made," featuring the AI-generated voices of Shakur and Snoop Dogg, is not promptly removed from the internet.

Lawyer Howard King, representing Tupac's estate, condemned Drake's creation of "Taylor Made" as a "blatant abuse of the legacy of one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time." King emphasized that the Shakur estate never cleared the use of Tupac's voice for the song. The estate expressed deep dismay and disappointment, asserting that they would never have authorized such use.

The ongoing feud between rap artists has been fueling the flames of competition in the music industry. Over the past few weeks, artists like Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and J. Cole have been exchanging pointed lyrical jabs, entertaining fans and spectators alike. In response to Future's release of "Like That," which called out Drake for his previous jabs, Drake retaliated with "Push Ups," mocking Lamar's physical attributes and details surrounding his earlier deal with Top Dawg Entertainment.

In a surprising move, Drake debuted "Taylor Made" on April 19th, causing a stir not only for its reference to Taylor Swift but also for its prominent use of the voices of West Coast rappers, particularly Tupac Shakur, who has been deceased for years. Snoop Dogg, who also appears in the song, shared a perplexing video on Instagram seemingly expressing bewilderment about the situation.

While this beef and the release of "Taylor Made" may seem trivial at a distance, it highlights the larger trend of AI-generated music flooding social media platforms and raising concerns about how record labels will respond. Interestingly, Drake has previously criticized AI-generated music publicly, yet he has also been rumored as a potential source behind the viral, AI-generated song "Heart on My Sleeve," attributed to an anonymous TikTok user known as ghostwriter977.

Tupac's estate has issued a demand for "Taylor Made" to be removed within 24 hours. If Drake indeed used Tupac's voice without proper authorization, the song may face the possibility of disappearing altogether. However, given the attention-seeking nature of this beef, Drake may be willing to defend his case in court.

The battle between these rap giants continues to captivate audiences, but only time will tell how this legal conflict unfolds and its impact on the AI-generated music industry.
