LA rapper Fenix Flexin denies hit song is…
He insists there’s nothing synthetic about this hit.
LA-based rapper Fenix Flexin has been pressured to deny allegations that his wildly standard new song “Rubberz” was generated utilizing artificial intelligence — as web sleuths and music industry figures decide aside every part from his vocals to the monitor’s manufacturing.
The song, launched in June, has turn out to be a bona fide hit and was sitting at No. 66 on the Billboard Hot 100 on Wednesday morning.
But its rise has been dogged by hypothesis over whether or not Fenix really made the song himself, with listeners pointing to the rapper’s dramatically different vocals, a shock British accent and a sound far eliminated from his earlier music, according to Futurism.
Listeners definitely have their suspicions.
“All yall not having any idea this ENTIRE song is all AI is hilarious,” one YouTube commenter wrote beneath the music video.
“when yyou throw your lyrics into AI while asking it to sound like the smiths lol,” another joked.
Others branded it an “AI classic” and “AI Slop,” while one merely declared: “Definitely produced by AI.”
Skeptics have also zeroed in on Fenix hitting larger notes than he has usually demonstrated in his music, while one YouTube clip seems to show the rapper awkwardly lip-syncing along to the monitor.
LA-based rapper Fenix Flexin has been pressured to deny allegations that his wildly standard new song “Rubberz” was generated utilizing artificial intelligence.
The weird controversy even prompted Fenix to immediately handle the rumors during an interview clip shared by music outlet Stereogum.
When requested if there was something he wished to clear up about the song, Fenix immediately replied, “The AI sh-t?”
“Nah, s—t is recorded like any other song,” he insisted.
The clip then cuts to Fenix performing “Rubberz,” where he seems to lose monitor of parts of his own song.
Stereogum cheekily captioned the post: “me when I lie.”
Legendary producer Timbaland has come to Fenix’s protection, according to Futurism — although that did little to quiet the skeptics given the hitmaker’s own enthusiastic embrace of AI-generated music.
Producer Medasin was among those questioning the song’s origins, publishing a detailed breakdown last week laying out why he believes “Rubberz” was made utilizing AI.
Medasin claimed a file identify seen in a snippet Fenix beforehand posted of the unfinished monitor contained the phrase “Sonauto” — the identify of an AI music-generation platform that rebranded as Treblo just two days before “Rubberz” was launched.
Many branded it an “AI classic” and “AI Slop,” while one merely declared: “Definitely produced by AI.”
Fenix later tried to swat down the accusations by posting a video displaying a Pro Tools project for “Rubberz,” seemingly offering the session as evidence that the monitor had been put together conventionally.
But critics, including Medasin, remained unconvinced, according to Futurism, which famous an AI-generated monitor may theoretically be separated into particular person stems and imported into a project.
Fenix later deleted the video, according to the outlet.
Despite all the online detective work, there was no definitive proof that “Rubberz” was generated utilizing AI — and Fenix has flatly denied that it was.
For now, listeners can have to determine for themselves.
