FN Meka controversy has spiraled since the AI character was dropped from Capitol Records less than a week after he was signed. On Wednesday (August 24), Atlanta-based rapper Kyle The Hooligan revealed on Instagram that he was the voice actor for “the world’s first AI rapper,” claiming that Factory New stole his intellectual property before ghosting him.

“They came to me with this A.I. s*** and was like would I want to be the voice of it, and I thought it was going to be some collaboration,” Kyle said in the clip. “They promised me equity in the company, percentages, all this stuff, so I’m thinking, ‘OK, this about to be some collab, something different for me, so I can do my music and do some A.I. stuff with this FN Meka character.”

“So everything going good. Next thing I know, n***** just ghosted me. Use my voice, use my sound, use the culture and literally just left me high and dry,” he continued. “I ain’t get a dime off of nothing, and they got record deals, all this stuff. I wasn’t involved in no meetings or none of that, which is f****** up. So, I’m glad they a** got canceled ‘cause that’s karma for they a** ‘cause God don’t play with me. I’m gonna tell you that right now.”
