Bad Bunny, one of Latin America’s most famous artists, was upset to see that a song made with an AI has won more positive reviews than his recent tracks. The melody imitated his voice and musical style. Pissed off the artist, he went so far as to write in his WhatsApp group that everyone who liked the song made with AI could say goodbye to the tour. Adding that they were not welcome in the group. He also added that all those people who liked the new theme did not deserve to be his friends. Thus leaving out a large part of the people who were following the musical trends.

Reception of the topic in social networks

On the other hand, another part of the public expressed their support for Bad Bunny, who is very angry about the impersonation of his voice.

As the FlowGPT video indicates, the song was created by the AI from lyrics written by Mauryceo, a singer and producer from Chile.
