AceShowbiz - Sexyy Red is another artist to fall victim to the misuse of AI. Upon learning that a company used artificial intelligence to mimic her voice for an ad, the "Pound Town" raptress threatened to sue the people behind it.
On Thursday, November 23, the 25-year-old reacted to a video promoting a free stimulus program with a "health spending card." The clip featured footage of the femcee along with her AI-generated voice.
Making it clear that she didn't approve of the promotional video, Sexyy suggested that she's launching legal action against the company. "My lawyer bout to have a field day," she wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Just one day prior to that, fellow rapper Cardi B also threatened to sue the company USA Wellness Wave for using AI to impersonate her in its advertisement. The said clip offered a "stimulus-style" payment program featuring an AI-generated video of her and a voiceover pretending to be the "WAP" hitmaker.
"Yo it's ya girl Cardi and I'ma show you how to put $16,000 in your pocket right now for free," said the voice. Catching wind of the ad, Cardi argued, "AI is crazy smh...another lawsuit that fell right on my lap...I love easy money."
