AI Song by ‘The Weeknd and Drake’ is Pulled from Apple and Spotify

As of today, “Heart on my Sleeve” is no longer available on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer or Tidal.

The song, an AI creation meant to sound like a collab between The Weeknd and Drake, is also in the process of being removed from TikTok and YouTube.

Universal Music Group (UMG) has criticized the song for violating copyright law, saying platforms have a “legal and ethical responsibility” to prevent the use of services harming artists.

The creator @ghostwriter claims that the song was created on software trained using both artist’s voices.

UMG represents the real Weekend and Drake, and have been doing their own innovation in the realm of AI for awhile now. However, UMG explains, “The training of generative AI using our artists’ music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs [digital service providers], begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation.”

UMG adds, “These instances demonstrate why platforms have a fundamental legal and ethical responsibility to prevent the use of their services in ways that harm artists. We’re encouraged by the engagement of our platform partners on these issues – as they recognize they need to be part of the solution.”
