Anthony Martini, a co-founder of virtual music company Factory New, has said that listeners should be critical of the rap lyrics that informed the controversial A.I. rapper FN Meka.

“If you’re mad about the lyrical content because it supposedly was A.I.,” he said, “why not be mad about the lyrical content in general?” Among the criticisms the project faced is how it was unclear who the team behind the project was, and the questions raised in making an A.I. rapper say the n-word. When Capitol Records dropped Meka, the label apologized to the Black community “for our insensitivity in signing this project without asking enough questions about equity and the creative process behind it.”

Factory New is the company responsible for FN Meka, which was signed to Capitol Records only to be dropped unceremoniously less than two weeks later. In a quote provided to the New York Times, Martini has questioned why listeners were quick to criticize the A.I. rapper but not hip-hop music by humans.
