### Tupac Shakur’s Estate Sends Cease and Desist Letter to Drake Over AI-Generated Likeness in Diss Track

The cease and desist letter sent by the lawyer representing the estate of Tupac Shakur to Drake has caused a stir in the music industry. The letter was in response to Drake using an AI-generated likeness of Tupac’s voice in a diss track called “Taylor Made Freestyle.” The lawyer, Howard King, stated that the track is a violation of Tupac’s publicity and legal rights. If Drake does not remove the track from platforms, the estate may consider legal action.

The diss track was released as part of an ongoing feud between Drake and rapper Kendrick Lamar. King criticized Drake for using Tupac’s voice in a disrespectful manner, especially in a feud with Lamar, who has shown respect for Tupac’s legacy. The lawyer highlighted Drake’s previous actions in protecting his own image rights and compared them to the unauthorized use of Tupac’s likeness.

The controversy has sparked discussions about the ethical use of AI-generated voices and the importance of respecting the legacies of iconic artists like Tupac Shakur. The situation has raised questions about the boundaries of artistic expression and the legal implications of using technology to replicate voices without permission.
