Tyga openly acknowledges incorporating AI in the creation of his latest album, “$tarface”.

In a recent discussion with VIBE, the rapper from the West Coast delved into his “$tarface” persona, inspired by the ’80s, and the resulting album. While there had been rumors about AI involvement, Tyga confirmed that he used an AI music generator to craft certain elements, including ’80s synths and a guitar solo.

“I’ve never spoken on this with anybody because I always felt like it’s similar to a magician explaining how he does his tricks. Like why are people over-explaining how they make sh– that’s good?” he said when asked directly if he used AI music programs.

“It’s supposed to give you an experience and a feeling. But we definitely used AI as a [tool],” he continued. “And I know people are going to be mad about me saying this, but it’s where technology is going. It’s no different than when Auto-Tune came out. Some people were opposed to it, but real artists took it and used it.”

He continued, “But as far as the writing, all the vocals are all me. There’s nothing wrong with using technology as a tool.”
