Rapper Bad Bunny (real name: Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, 29) has released a furious rant about a viral TikTok song that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to replicate his voice.
The track has hundreds of thousands of views and also uses fake vocals from Justin Bieber and Daddy Yankee.
In a post on his WhatsApp channel, Bad Bunny said anyone who liked the song NostalgIA should leave the group chat.
“You don’t deserve to be my friends,” the singer wrote in Spanish. “I don’t want them on the tour either.”
At first, Bunny didn’t explain which song upset him so much. A day after his first message, he wrote, “For those of you who don’t know what song I’m talking about … I’m talking about the ‘chu chu tren’ (‘Choo Choo Train’) and the ‘mono amarillo’ (‘Yellow Monkey’).
The Monaco and Fina singer, 29, has more than 83 million monthly listeners on Spotify and is rumoured to be in a relationship with model Kendall Jenner – but the pair haven’t confirmed this publicly.
Justin Bieber and Daddy Yankee haven’t publicly commented on it.
