LA rapper Fenix Flexin denies hit song is AI-generated amid rumors…
He insists there’s nothing synthetic about this hit.
LA-based rapper Fenix Flexin has been compelled to disclaim allegations that his wildly widespread new song “Rubberz” was generated utilizing artificial intelligence — as web sleuths and music trade figures decide aside the whole lot from his vocals to the monitor’s manufacturing.
The song, launched in June, has turn into a bona fide hit and was sitting at No. 66 on the Billboard Hot 100 on Wednesday morning.
But its rise has been dogged by hypothesis over whether or not Fenix truly made the song himself, with listeners pointing to the rapper’s dramatically different vocals, a shock British accent and a sound far faraway from his earlier music, according to Futurism.
Listeners actually have their suspicions.
“All yall not having any idea this ENTIRE song is all AI is hilarious,” one YouTube commenter wrote beneath the music video.
“when yyou throw your lyrics into AI while asking it to sound like the smiths lol,” another joked.
Others branded it an “AI classic” and “AI Slop,” while one merely declared: “Definitely produced by AI.”
Skeptics have also zeroed in on Fenix hitting greater notes than he has usually demonstrated in his music, while one YouTube clip seems to indicate the rapper awkwardly lip-syncing alongside to the monitor.
LA-based rapper Fenix Flexin has been compelled to disclaim allegations that his wildly widespread new song “Rubberz” was generated utilizing artificial intelligence.
The weird controversy even prompted Fenix to instantly deal with the rumors during an interview clip shared by music outlet Stereogum.
When requested if there was something he needed to clear up about the song, Fenix instantly replied, “The AI sh-t?”
“Nah, s—t is recorded like any other song,” he insisted.
The clip then cuts to Fenix performing “Rubberz,” the place he seems to lose monitor of parts of his personal song.
Stereogum cheekily captioned the put up: “me when I lie.”
Legendary producer Timbaland has come to Fenix’s protection, according to Futurism — although that did little to quiet the skeptics given the hitmaker’s personal enthusiastic embrace of AI-generated music.
Producer Medasin was among those questioning the song’s origins, publishing an in depth breakdown last week laying out why he believes “Rubberz” was made utilizing AI.
Medasin claimed a file title seen in a snippet Fenix beforehand posted of the unfinished monitor contained the phrase “Sonauto” — the title of an AI music-generation platform that rebranded as Treblo just two days before “Rubberz” was launched.
Many branded it an “AI classic” and “AI Slop,” while one merely declared: “Definitely produced by AI.”
Fenix later tried to swat down the accusations by posting a video displaying a Pro Tools project for “Rubberz,” seemingly providing the session as proof that the monitor had been put together conventionally.
But critics, including Medasin, remained unconvinced, according to Futurism, which famous an AI-generated monitor might theoretically be separated into particular person stems and imported right into a project.
Fenix later deleted the video, according to the outlet.
Despite all the on-line detective work, there was no definitive proof that “Rubberz” was generated utilizing AI — and Fenix has flatly denied that it was.
For now, listeners must determine for themselves.
