Drake isn’t convinced by AI.
The internet has been having fun with AI, creating its own versions of popular songs performed by other artists. One of the features Drake covering Ice Spice’s hit “Munch (Feelin’ U).”
Drake’s computer-generated vocals can be heard rapping in the Bronx rapper’s style. “Did you think I was feeling you? He raps, “(Nah) / That ni**a a munch.” “Bitch, I’m a baddie, and I always get what I want.”

Drake, on the other hand, does not appear to be pleased with his AI-generated cover. He retweeted a headline from The Shade Room, joking, “This is the final straw, AI.”

AI companies upload music into their technology and allow bots to create songs as part of the process. According to Variety, Universal Music is tired of it and has asked major streaming services to prevent AI companies from accessing their catalogs.
Meanwhile, the internet is flooded with AI covers, such as Ariana Grande singing Drake’s “Controlla” and Kanye West performing J. Cole’s “No Role Modelz.”

Ice Spice, who recently released her remix to “Princess Diana” with Nicki Minaj, recently opened up about Drake’s random advice when they met.
“One thing he did say that stuck with me, which is so funny and minuscule – he said I shouldn’t wear sunglasses,” she explained to British Vogue. “I thought it was hilarious and unique. He claims that it conceals you too much and makes you appear a little bougie, and that people want to see your face.”
She also stated that Drake was not referring to her when he rapped about “ten tryna rap” on “BackOutsideBoyz.”
“I asked him if that was about me, and he said it wasn’t,” she explained. “He was just laughing, but he did like how I handled it, you know?” He did tell me who the story was about, and it wasn’t about me.”
