Tyga is responding to criticism surrounding his latest album, pushing back against claims that he released a fully AI-generated project and explaining how artificial intelligence was actually used during production.
The rapper said the controversy stems from people misunderstanding his original comments about using AI-assisted technology while making the album. According to Tyga, the project was not created entirely by artificial intelligence.
Tyga emphasized that he personally wrote the songs and that all of the vocals heard on the album are his own. He acknowledged using AI tools for certain elements of the production, including some guitar solos, but rejected the characterization of the entire project as an “AI album.”
The rapper said he spent approximately three months working in the studio on the project, arguing that the time and creative effort involved demonstrate that the album was not simply generated by an AI system.
The controversy highlights a growing debate in the music industry over how artificial intelligence should be used in the creative process. Artists are increasingly experimenting with AI-assisted production, while fans and fellow musicians continue to debate where the line should be drawn between technological assistance and fully AI-generated music.
Tyga appears to view his project as part of that larger conversation rather than the defining example of it. He suggested that the broader debate over AI in music extends far beyond his individual album.
As AI tools become increasingly accessible to musicians, questions about songwriting, production credits, vocal authenticity and artistic ownership are likely to become even more important.
For Tyga, however, the message is straightforward: AI may have assisted with certain parts of the production, but the music, songwriting and vocals remain his.
