London — A song that clones the voices of A-list musicians Drake and The Weeknd using artificial intelligence was pulled from social media and music streaming platforms Tuesday following a backlash from publishing giant Universal Music Group, which said the song violated copyright law.
The AI-generated song, "Heart on My Sleeve," went viral over the weekend, racking up more than 8.5 million views on TikTok before being pulled off the platform Tuesday. The song, which the artists have never actually sung, was also pulled off many YouTube channels, though versions were still available on both platforms.
The full version was played 254,000 times on Spotify before being yanked by the leading music streaming platform.
