A TikTok song featuring AI-generated vocals mimicking Bad Bunny’s voice has gained widespread popularity, much to the dismay of the Puerto Rican singer and rapper. In a passionate message shared on his WhatsApp channel, Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, expressed his feelings [translated from Spanish using Google Translate]: “If you enjoy that viral TikTok song, please leave this group immediately. You don’t deserve to be my friends, which is why I created the new album – to distance myself from people like that. I don’t want them on the tour either.”
The viral track, titled “Nostalgia,” also incorporates AI-generated vocals emulating Justin Bieber and Daddy Yankee. It was initially posted by a user going by the name flowgptmusic. However, there is no evidence linking this individual to FlowGPT, a visual chatbot tool similar to ChatGPT.
