Drake Facing Potential Legal Battle With Shakur Estate Over Diss Track Featuring AI-generated 2Pac

Quick Glance: Tupac Shakur's Estate Threatens Drake with AI Voice Imitation Lawsuit

Tupac Shakur's estate has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Drake over his use of an AI-generated imitation of Tupac's voice in a new song.

The estate demands that Drake cease publication of the song and take all necessary steps to remove it from all platforms as it constitutes a flagrant violation of Tupac's publicity rights.

Drake is accused of creating the false impression that Tupac's estate endorses his lyrics, adversely affecting the market for Amaru Entertainment, Inc.'s AI projects.

Drake is requested to provide written confirmation that 'Taylor Made' has been removed from all platforms, along with an explanation of how the sound-alike was created and the individuals or company involved.

Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim

ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.

ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.

As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.

Quick Glance: TikTok Ban Threat: ByteDance Prefers Closure Over Sale, Insiders Say

ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, would prefer to shut down its loss-making app rather than sell it if all legal options to fight legislation to ban the platform from app stores in the US are exhausted, said four sources.

TikTok accounts for a small share of ByteDance’s total revenues and daily active users, so the parent would rather have the app shut down in the US in a worst-case scenario than sell it to a potential American buyer, they said.

ByteDance would not agree to sell one of its most valuable assets – its “secret source” – to rivals, said the four sources, referring to the TikTok algorithm.

After facing challenges regarding bans, the short-form video app has encountered partial and attempted prohibitions in the US and other nations.

Quick Glance: Premature Baby Rescued from Dead Mother's Womb Dies in Gaza After 5 Days

A premature Palestinian infant, rescued from her mother's womb shortly after the woman was killed in an Israeli airstrike, has died, according to her uncle.

Sabreen Jouda died in a Gaza hospital after her health deteriorated and medical teams were unable to save her, said her uncle.

Following an Israeli airstrike on Sabreen's home in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, her parents and 4-year-old sister tragically lost their lives.

More than 34,000 Palestinians have been killed during the Israel-Hamas war, with local health officials stating that about two-thirds of the dead are women and children. Health officials do not differentiate between combatants and civilians in their count.
