Sheryl Crow blasts Drake for using AI to replicate Tupac Shakur's voice: 'It's hateful'

Sheryl Crow criticized Drake for using artificial intelligence to replicate late rapper Tupac Shakur's voice in his recent song 'Taylor Made Freestyle.' The track, released in April, featured the AI-generated voices of Snoop Dogg and Shakur, who was murdered at the age of 25 in a 1996 drive-by shooting. Drake, 37, later removed 'Taylor Made Freestyle' from all platforms after receiving a cease-and-desist letter from Shakur's estate.

The 'All I Wanna Do' hitmaker also pointed out that the song is still available online even after Drake deleted it from his platforms. 'I’m sure Drake thought, ‘Yeah, I shouldn't do it, but I'll say sorry later.' But it’s already done, and people will find it even if he takes it down,' Crow said. It's hateful. It is antithetical to the life force that exists in all of us.' Representatives for Crow and Drake did not return Fox News Digital's immediate request for comment. This was not the first time Crow voiced concerns about the newer technology. During her induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in November, Crow revealed the title track of her new album, 'Evolution,' was inspired by her fear of AI.

Last month, Crow called upon Congress to pass legislation regulating the use of AI in a guest column for The Hollywood Reporter. Crow wrote that she was 'heartened' to see that actors' likenesses were protected after the recent actors' strikes, and she felt the same needed to happen for musicians and singers. 'But it is not the money or loss of compensation that I worry about. Yes, it is wrong to manipulate any artist’s likeness, voice, words or art as their own.

Congress needs to act now, and we need to be diligent,' she said. In March, Tennessee lawmakers passed the ELVIS Act, which added vocal likeness to its list of protections that includes names and photographs. Crow noted many fellow artists have spoken with Congress and noted she was one of over 200 artists to have recently signed an open letter to tech companies to 'Stop Devaluing Music.
