Tupac Shakur<\/strong><\/a>‘s estate is laying down the law on Drake<\/strong><\/a> … threatening to drag him to court for using an AI-generated version of the late rapper’s voice for a diss track aimed at Kendrick Lamar<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

TMZ has obtained the cease-and-desist letter<\/strong><\/a> fired off by the attorney for Tupac’s estate, Howard King<\/strong>, and it calls out Drake for the AI verse on “Taylor Made Freestyle” … saying, “Not only is the record a flagrant violation of Tupac’s publicity and the estate’s legal rights, it is also a blatant abuse of the legacy of one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

The estate goes on to say it would never have given approval for this — and it issues an ultimatum: take down the track in less than 24 hours, and explain how it was made … or else.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Team Tupac’s lawyers say they’ve been authorized to “pursue all of its legal remedies” if they can’t resolve the matter amicably.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

In Drake’s track, AI Pac raps, “Kendrick, we need ya, the West Coast savior. Engraving your name in some hip hop history. If you deal with this viciously. You seem a little nervous about all the publicity.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

As well as Tupac, Drake’s diss track also included vocals from Snoop Dogg<\/strong><\/a> — all through the power of AI. The real Snoop reacted to the track, quipping on IG, “They did what? When? How? Are you sure? Y’all have a good night.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

The song even ruffled feathers with Tupac’s brother, Mopreme Shakur<\/strong> … who told us Drake weaponizing Tupac’s voice just for a rap battle didn’t fly with him<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
