Tyga has confirmed that artificial intelligence was used in the production of his new album “$tarface,” which he released as his ninth studio project. In separate interview coverage, the rapper says he decided to use AI as part of the creative process and frames it as a technology that is now part of music-making. Asked about the extent of his use, Tyga responds directly and explains that his approach reflects where technology in the industry is headed.
Billboard reports that Tyga has faced AI-related allegations since the album’s release, particularly tied to the project’s ’80s-inspired pop-synth sound. In addressing the criticism, Tyga compares AI to earlier music technology shifts, arguing that it is not fundamentally different from tools such as Auto-Tune that became mainstream years ago.
Across the reports, there is agreement that Tyga is acknowledging AI involvement in “$tarface” and that the disclosure comes amid public scrutiny of how AI is used in contemporary music.
