The creator behind the viral AI-generated Drake song, operating under the alias Ghostwriter (or ghostwriter977 on TikTok), has unveiled a new track called “Whiplash.” In this release, the song incorporates artificial intelligence-generated voices that emulate Travis Scott and 21 Savage. At the conclusion of the TikTok post showcasing the song, Ghostwriter includes a message for the two artists.
Will Travis Scott and 21 Savage let it go?
Ghostwriter, the talent behind the AI-generated Drake sensation, has released a new track titled “Whiplash,” employing AI to mimic the voices of Travis Scott and 21 Savage. At the close of the TikTok release, Ghostwriter suggests, “The future of music has arrived. Artists can now have their voices work for them effortlessly. Given the public’s interest in this song, feel free to DM me on Instagram to either grant permission for its release or request its removal.”
Ghostwriter further mentions that, should Travis Scott and 21 Savage approve the song’s release, the royalties would be allocated to them. Earlier in the year, Ghostwriter encountered legal issues with the removal of the AI-generated Drake song “Heart on My Sleeve” from Spotify, Apple Music, and other platforms, igniting a debate over copyright in the age of AI.
Despite the music industry’s reservations about AI-generated music, the legal framework remains unclear, placing platforms like YouTube in a precarious position regarding fair use.
In an interesting development, The New York Times reported that Ghostwriter submitted “Heart on My Sleeve” for Grammy consideration in two categories: Best Rap Song and Song of the Year. Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. addressed the submission’s eligibility, noting, “From a creative standpoint, it’s entirely fitting since it was composed by a human.”
However, “Heart on My Sleeve” encounters a hurdle in fulfilling the “general distribution” requirement for the Grammys, which demands the song be broadly available through physical stores, online retail, or nationwide streaming services—a significant challenge considering its copyright disputes.
