Earlier this week it was announced that A.I. rapper FN Meka was signed by Capitol Records. A video then came out of one of the music videos where FN Meka raps “I don’t see no niggas like I’m playing hockey.” Soon after, it revealed the person behind the FN Meka project was white, causing an uproar on social media.

The backlash then caused Capitol Records to rethink their decision and drop FN Meka. Capitol shortly after released a statement apologizing for signing the A.I. rapper and issued an apology to the Black community.

“CMG has severed ties with the FN Meka project, effective immediately,” the label said in a statement. “We offer our deepest condolences to the Black community for our insensitivity in signing this project without asking enough questions about the equity and the creative process behind it.”

Capitol Records has shut down FN Meka, its rapper made by artificial intelligence, after an activist group and social media users called it out for its usage of the N-word and claims of brutality at the hands of the police.https://t.co/AiiaBkjsYL
