Run down who’s on top of the Billboard Hot 100, we take you inside New York’s Nova Festival Exhibit. Happy Monday, I’m Tetris, it’s April 22, and I’m so happy to be here to bring you Billboard News. Today is full of all the biggest names making headlines. So let’s get right into it with Drake? Drake drops a diss track featuring AI versions of Tupac and Snoop Dogg and everyone’s unsure on how to react. Drake continued his feud with Kendrick Lamar with his diss track, “Taylor Made Freestyle,” which starts off with an AI Tupac Shakur addressing the rap beef. It made quite a few people online uncomfortable considering Tupac is dead and can’t consent to his voice in the song, but it’s not the only AI voice on the track. Drake also used AI to put Snoop Dogg in the song and Snoop reacted to it on IG. If you’re wondering about the title of the track, well he does shout out T-Swift. While we are here for the Kendrick-Drake rivalry, a lot are not here for the use of AI. What do you think of the diss track and its use of AI? Well, let us know in the comments. And that may be a heck of a story, but there’s still more news.
