A new ‘leaked’ song thought to be by Drake is causing confusion among fans, with some questioning whether it is him or an AI clone.<\/p>\n

The new song appeared on the internet over the weekend, supposedy after being leaked.<\/p>\n

In it, the Canadian rapper seems to hit out at other musicians including Kendrick Lamar and Metro Boomin.<\/p>\n

However, fans aren’t sure if it is actually him.<\/p>\n

“This is clearly AI,” posted one user on X.<\/p>\n

The song hasn’t been officially released and some listeners say they can hear small glitches in his vocal track that suggest it could have been generated by artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

Drake’s AI clone has history.<\/p>\n

In 2023, an AI-generated track that recreated the voices of Drake and artist The Weeknd went viral<\/a><\/strong> on TikTok.<\/p>\n

The song, called Heart On My Sleeve, was created by an artist known as Ghostwriter.<\/p>\n

It racked up more than 230,000 plays on YouTube, with more than 625,000 plays on Spotify, according to industry news website Music Business Worldwide, before it was removed from streaming platforms.<\/p>\n

At the time, Universal Music Group, which publishes both artists through Republic Records, said songs like Heart On My Sleeve “represent both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law”.<\/p>\n

Drake isn’t helping the current confusion.<\/p>\n

He hasn’t claimed the track but has been posting about it on Instagram.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

He even posted an AI deepfake of rap producer Metro Boomin in a clip from the 2002 film Drumline, which appears to be a reference to one of the lines in the song, “Metro, shut your h*e ass up and make some drums”.<\/p>\n
