LA rapper Fenix Flexin has recently clarified his stance on the use of artificial intelligence in the creation of his popular 80s synth-pop track, "Rubberz," asserting that he has "never said I didn’t use AI." This statement marks a significant shift, following earlier claims by producer Medasin, whose videos alleged that the AI tool Treblo (previously Sonauto) was instrumental in the song's production. Further corroborating these claims, Treblo itself subsequently released an AI detector that specifically identifies "Rubberz" as an AI-generated creation from its platform.
Flexin's latest remarks emerged from an Instagram exchange, where he responded to a comment highlighting fellow artist Tyga's admission of AI reliance for his own contentious 80s-inspired album, $tarface. Addressing the controversy, Fenix wrote: "never said I didn’t use AI , i said it had nun to do w recording process . I didn’t even know what da app was till we mixed it and erbody started commenting . ain’t nothing wrong w using new technology as a tool keep up w the times or get left behind".
While his recent comment suggests he never explicitly denied AI usage, this contrasts sharply with his direct statement just last month. During an interview on Hot 97’s Mornings With Mero, when Kazeem Famuyide specifically questioned him about AI involvement, Flexin unequivocally stated that there was “no AI on it.”
Indeed, since the song's release, Flexin and his team have consistently undertaken significant public efforts to refute any AI allegations, despite his current stance. This included sharing what they presented as recording session files, actively engaging in comment sections to assert the song's creation by two individuals recording in his living room using "pro tools auto tune and some reverb," and countering accusations of lip-syncing by claiming he was genuinely singing in the circulating clips.
