'It's probably real': Drake's latest diss track aimed at other rappers ignites online speculation about its authenticity
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The rap world is buzzing over a newly leaked Drake diss track taking shots at Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd and others, with speculation circulating that it might have been generated by artificial intelligence.
The explosive song, titled 'Drop and Give Me 50', surfaced online Saturday, April 13, immediately igniting debates over its authenticity and escalating Drake's ongoing feuds with his fellow A-list stars, as per Daily Mail.
Drake pulls no punches in dishing out insults about fellow rappers
The fiery bars pull no punches, with Drake dishing out insults about Lamar's height and accusing The Weeknd of selling out for fame.
"Maroon 5 need a version, better make it witty," the track taunts in an apparent reference to the pop features Lamar has done. "Then we need a verse for the Swifties." It goes on to mock The Weeknd as "Cash blowin' Abel bread, out here trickin'/S*** we do for bitches he doing for n****s."
The unverified song instantly set social media ablaze with fans debating whether the diss track was real or the work of an advanced AI model trained on Drake's vocals and writing style.
One X user said, "This isn't AI bro how can you say this is AI, the voice inflections. The breathing etc." Another chimed in with, "If this is real, I like this to set it off. 7.5/10."

Drake's track controversy highlights escalating concerns over use of AI to create music
The Drake diss track controversy highlights escalating concerns over the use of AI technologies to create music that imitates real artists' voices, flows and lyrics. Just months ago, the Recording Academy disqualified an AI-generated Drake song from being eligible for Grammy due to the increasing use of this technology in the industry.
The origins of the diss track controversy can be traced back to March, when Lamar took lyrical shots at Drake and J. Cole in the song 'Like That' featured on Future and Metro Boomin's album 'We Don't Trust You.'
"Motherf**k the big three, n***a, it's just big me," Lamar rapped dismissively. The line seemed to be a sharp response to a previous Cole verse that referred to them as "the big three" and debated who was the "hardest MC."
The Weeknd appeared to subtly address the drama by posting a photo of himself laughing while eating popcorn, suggesting he's just a bystander in the escalating feud.
