AceShowbiz - Doja Cat sparked controversy after publicly criticizing rapper Tyga for releasing an album created with the help of artificial intelligence. The remarks came during a livestream on August 13, where she expressed her disapproval of Tyga's latest project.

The album in question, Starface, dropped on July 31 and is a concept record inspired by 1980s pop and R&B sounds. Tyga openly acknowledged last week that AI played a role in the album’s creation, describing it as a tool that shaped the music. He compared the use of AI to the introduction of Auto-Tune, emphasizing that evolving technology is part of the creative process, even if some fans might disagree.

Despite Tyga's explanation, Doja Cat did not hold back her opinion, referring to the rapper with strong language and criticizing the AI approach to music production. Her comments surfaced quickly on social media, reigniting debates about the role of AI in the music industry.

The release of Starface also follows recent backlash faced by Fenix Flexin, who encountered criticism for using AI on his popular track "Rubberz." This ongoing controversy highlights the tension between traditional music creation and emerging digital tools.

Tyga has defended his creative choices, stating that if listeners enjoy the album, that is what ultimately matters. He has remained firm that the integration of AI is a reflection of where the industry is heading, and artists who embrace new technology will continue to innovate.

This public exchange between Doja Cat and Tyga underscores the evolving discussion surrounding AI's influence on music production and the varying opinions artists hold on the subject.
