Tupac's estate threatens to sue Drake for his AI-infused Kendrick Lamar diss

Tupac Shakur's estate is none too happy about Drake cloning the late hip-hop legend's voice in a Kendrick Lamar diss track. Billboard reported Wednesday that attorney Howard King, representing Mr. Shakur's estate, sent a cease-and-desist letter calling Drake's use of Shakur's voice "a flagrant violation of Tupac's publicity and the estate's legal rights." Drake (Aubrey Drake Graham) dropped the diss track "Taylor Made Freestyle" last Friday, the latest chapter of the artist's simmering decade-long feud with Pulitzer and 17-time Grammy award winner Kendrick Lamar. "Kendrick, we need ya, the West Coast savior / Engraving your name in some hip-hop history," an AI-generated 2Pac recreation raps in Drake's track. "If you deal with this viciously / You seem a little nervous about all the publicity."
