Sheryl Crow is blasting Drake for using an AI version of Tupac Shakurs voice in a recent song dissing Kendrick Lamar.

Talking about the threat generative artificial intelligence poses to artists in an interview with BBC last week, the country-pop singer said the technology is a slippery slope that goes against everything humanity is based on.

Crow said she was particularly disturbed by Drakes use of AI on the track Taylor Made Freestyle. The track contains a verse dissing Lamar delivered by an AI-generated imitation of Shakur, who died in 1996.

You cannot bring people back from the dead and believe that they would stand for that, Crow told the BBC.

Shakurs estate felt similarly, demanding Drake take down the track on April 24. The next day, Drake pulled Taylor Made Freestyle from his Instagram.
