Bad Bunny Slams AI TikTok Song That Mimics His Voice

Bad Bunny walks courtside during the game between the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers in game six of the Western Conference Semifinal Playoffs at Crypto.com Arena on May 12, 2023 in Los Angeles, California.

Bad Bunny heard a song that’s gone viral on TikTok, which was made using artificial intelligence (AI) to copy his voice. And now, the rapper is pissed off about it. The AI song called “nostalgIA” was created by FlowGPT, an AI tool that functions similarly to ChatGPT, and the track was uploaded under the username @flowgptmusic on YouTube and TikTok. The song, which was uploaded last month, also features AI vocals from Justin Bieber singing in Spanish and Daddy Yankee rapping towards the end of the nearly four-minute-long song.

The Puerto Rican artist took to his WhatsApp channel to berate fans who have listened to and promoted the viral track. “If you like that s—ty song that’s viral on TikTok, get out of this group right now,” Bad Bunny wrote in Spanish, per Daily Mail. “I don’t want them on the tour either.” In the post to his 19 million followers, he added: “You don’t deserve to be my friends and that’s why I made the new album, to get rid of people like that. So choo-choo out.” Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, released his fifth solo studio album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana, last month.

To AI or Not AI

There has been a divide on the use of AI in the entertainment industry. [inlihnk id=”nicolas-cage-calls-ai-a-nightmare” text=”Recently”], Nicolas Cage called AI a “nightmare” after he saw footage of himself in The Flash movie that he did not film. “It’s inhumane. You can’t get more inhumane than artificial intelligence.” Meanwhile, DJ and music producer David Guetta said earlier this year that “the future of music is in AI.” Guetta defended musicians’ use of AI as a tool in order to create new sounds in the future because “every new music style comes from a new technology.” However, he added, “Nothing is going to replace taste. What defines an artist is, you have a certain taste. You have a certain type of emotion you want to express. And you’re going to use all the modern instruments to do that.”

Bad Bunny Transforms Himself For His 'SNL' Double-Duty

  • Telenovela

    Looking so ridiculous with a long, low ponytail and thick mustache, Bunny plays a character named Francisco in this skit. He slaps the s— out of Marcello Hernández in a dramatic scene that takes an unexpected turn when Mick Jagger makes a special cameo as Papá.

  • Rap Battle

    Spoofing Eminem’s 8 Mile, El Fuego (Bad Bunny) faces off against Walter White Boy (Mikey Day) in Detroit. When Walter spits some really sad and bizarre lines, the rap battles turns more into rap therapy, with Bunny just being a really good guy.

  • Protective Mom 2

    Bunny dressing up as a woman is hilarious, as he waddles into the kitchen. He plays the aunt, while Pedro Pascal makes a cameo as the mother. The two of them together are the sassiest snootiest women and we love to see it.

  • Convent Meeting

    Bad Bunny transforms himself once again into a “Bad Nunny” in this convent skit. The nuns try to figure out which one among them is posing as a nun in order to have sex with the other nuns, but the sisters are all in on it. With another cameo from Mick Jagger, he takes all the blame in Sister Act 3: Kevin Gone Wild!

  • Enrique's Daughter

    As a nerdy, highlighted and coiffed accountant of Burt’s Bees, Bad Bunny keeps interrupting their very serious meeting to talk about his daughter’s life. He adorably never gets the hint that he should focus on the topic on hand.

  • UN PREVIEW

    It seems like Bad Bunny brought all the stars with him, as Lady Gaga introduces him before performing his new song off Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana. The artist sounded fantastic, with an all-white studio background, paparazzi camera flashes, and a coin-operated horse galloping to the beat.

  • Please Don't Destroy - Bad Bunny Is Shrek

    In full-on Shrek makeup, Bad Bunny approaches writers to come up with a Shrek sketch, or even a movie! However, he plays coy and even says he doesn’t even like Shrek. What’s more, he has a script he wrote that is property of A24!

  • MONACO

    With an introduction by Pedro Pascal and a beautiful string opening, Bunny performs in front of a dinner party with men in burglar masks with bottles of champagne all over the table. He performs the third song off his new album, where the song’s lyrics translate to “drinking a lot of champagne, we’re never thirsty.”

  • The Age of Discovery

    As the king, Bunny demands his subject to go to China by any means necessary in this completely Spanish skit. Wanting the country’s silks and spices, his character wants nothing to do with the pitch they’ve made for discovering a “New World” with strange beasts — like a turkey!
