The Black rapper who voiced FN Meka, the first AI rapper to get a major record deal (and then get dropped by one) claims the rapper’s creators used his voice and his culture and then ghosted him.
FN Meka was created by Anthony Martini and Brandon Le.
“I know y’all done heard about this FN Meka stuff. People been DMing me. I been trying to keep it quiet because I was gonna really wait ’til this sh-t blew up for real and went after them,” says Kyle the Hooligan. “Basically, it’s like, they came to me with this AI sh-t and was like, ‘Would I like to be the voice of it?’ I thought it was gonna some collaboration. They promised me equity in the company, percentages, all this stuff. “So I’m thinking, OK, this about to be some collab, something different for me, so where I can do my music and be on some AI stuff with this FN Meka character.”
FN Meka was dropped by Capitol Records after backlash online. He said the creators did not pay him anything.
“So, everything is going good. Next thing I know, n-ggas just ghosted me. Used my voice, used my sound, used the culture and just literally just left me high and dry. I aint get a dime off of nothing. And they got record deals, all this stuff. I wasn’t involved with no meetings or none of that, which is f-cked up. So, honestly, I’m glad they ass got canceled. That’s karma for they ass.”
