It’s crazy that everybody thinks that it’s real. It seems like it’s very obvious. I don’t know.
But it’s cool. Whatever.”A post shared by Plain White T's (@plainwhitets)Higgenson’s reaction seems to suggest that he believes the song was created by AI. However, after the track’s release, Drake shared it onto his Instagram story, confirming his involvement in the tune.‘Wah Gwan Delilah’ marks the second release featuring Drake to drop since the last blow in his rap beef with Kendrick Lamar that unveiled throughout April and May.

Sheryl Crow isn’t a fan of AI, and she’s made her thoughts on Drake‘s use of the technology clear – see what she had to say below.Earlier this year, during Kendrick Lamar’s and Drake’s rap feud, the latter released a diss track aimed at Lamar, titled ‘Taylor Made Freestyle’, which featured the AI voices of late West Coast rapper Tupac, and Snoop Dogg.Now, in a new interview with the BBC, Sheryl Crow has spoken out against the use of AI in music, and Drake’s ‘Taylor Made Freestyle’ in particular.

Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss track ‘Not Like Us’ is eligible for a Grammy nomination, says Recording Academy CEO.The Grammys CEO Harvey Mason Jr. opened up about his thoughts on the hugely successful song in a recent statement and explained that while it isn’t common for a diss track to be nominated for a Grammy, in this case, it is a possibility.He discussed the idea while at LAX airport on Monday (June 24), and was approached by TMZ Hip Hop for a comment.The track was originally shared by Lamar earlier this year, as the heavily publicised feud between him and fellow rapper Drake came to a head.
Drake is facing a lawsuit after clothing brand Members Only alleged tour merch he sold infringed upon their company trademarks.In a case filed on Tuesday (June 12), it was claimed that Drake’s company, Away From Home Touring Inc., had been selling shirts that read ‘Members Only’ on the recent ‘It’s All a Blur‘ Tour.The words seemingly reference his track ‘Members Only’ from 2023 album ‘For all the Dogs’ and are not imitations of the recognisable Members Only racer jackets that made the brand popular in the 1980s.However, Members Only lawyers have said (via Billboard): “The fact that ‘Members Only’ is a song on Drake’s album ‘For All the Dogs’ does not obviate the likelihood of confusion or give [Drake] a license to use our client’s ‘Members Only’ marks in such a confusing manner, particularly on or in connection with apparel items.”They continued: “Away From Home’s use of ‘Members Only’ … is likely to cause confusion, mistake, and deception among consumers as to the origin of Away From Home’s infringing T-shirts.”Per Billboard, representatives for Drake have not yet responded to a request for comment.This is the latest legal battle facing the Canadian rapper, who recently was dismissed from lawsuits relative to Travis Scott‘s 2021 Astroworld festival disaster.
