Overview
- Tyga told VIBE on Thursday that his July 31 $tarface album used the Suno AI generator for specific instrumental parts such as ’80s synths and a guitar solo while he said all vocals and writing remained his own.
- Fenix Flexin acknowledged on Friday that AI was used on his viral single “RUBBERZ” after producer Medasin’s technical breakdown and a Treblo (formerly Sonauto) detector flagged the track as “very likely Treblo.”
- Technical signs cited by analysts include a file name linking early work to Sonauto/Treblo, brittle high‑hat textures, abruptly truncated reverb tails and compressed chorus vocals, though vendor claims about low false‑positive rates have not been independently peer reviewed.
- Both artists gave partial or delayed explanations during the rollout—Fenix previously denied AI use and deleted a Pro Tools walkthrough, while Tyga has not listed which tracks used AI or how much of the finished album relied on Suno.
- The episode sharpens industry questions about required disclosure, how label and chart systems should treat AI‑assisted works, and how probabilistic forensic tools can be trusted when stem separation and other workarounds can blur provenance.
