2Pac’s estate has sent a cease and desist letter to Drake over his track “Taylor Made Freestyle,” which uses AI vocals to simulate a verse in 2Pac’s style.
The estate’s lawyer expressed disappointment over the unauthorized use of 2Pac’s voice and personality, calling it a violation of legal rights and an abuse of the late rapper’s legacy.
The letter also criticized the track for disrespecting Kendrick Lamar, who has shown respect for 2Pac in the past. “Taylor Made Freestyle” is a diss track against Lamar and features AI vocals imitating Snoop Dogg as well.
The track has since been deleted from Drake’s Instagram.
