Drake has removed his diss track "Taylor Made Freestyle" after the estate of Tupac Shakur threatened legal action if he didn't.
This all started on April 19, when the Toronto rapper dropped the song on Instagram. It featured an AI-generated voice of the late rapper and Snoop Dogg and was directed at rapper Kendrick Lamar.
Howard E. King, the lawyer representing Shakur's estate, called the song “a flagrant violation of Tupac’s publicity and the Estate’s legal right” and “a blatant abuse of the legacy of one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time," according to Billboard.
Drake, born Aubrey Drake Graham, and Lamar have made headlines recently over their beef with each other.
Hours before the AI song was released, Drake dropped "Push Ups," which was his initial response to K.Dot's diss against him and his tour mate, rapper J. Cole in "Like That." The song is from Metro Boomin' and Future's album "We Don't Trust You."
The "6 God" claimed he dropped another song while waiting for the "Humble" artist to respond.
The Estate explained that even if they were asked for permission, it wouldn't have been given as Lamar is a "good friend" of theirs "who has given nothing but respect to Tupac and his legacy publicly and privately, compounds the insult.”
While Snoop Dogg's likeness was too, he played it off in a humorous post on Instagram.
“Why did everyone call my phone blowing me up? What the f–k? What happened? What’s going on? I’m going back to bed. Goodnight," he smirked at the camera.
"Taylor Made Freestyle" is the second diss against Lamar that's been taken down.
Cole, born Jermaine Lamarr Cole, retaliated with his song “7 Minute Drill.” However, he publicly bowed out and removed the song from all streaming services.
So far, Lamar has not responded to "Taylor Made Freestyle."
