The viral Artificial Intelligence (AI) song that features Bad Bunny's vocals has reached the Puerto Rican rapper and he is not happy-in fact, he condemned the song and everyone who enjoyed and engaged with it.
"There are people who I understand, and people I don't... There are people who I connect with, and people I don't," the Grammy Award-winning rapper wrote on his WhatsApp channel, referring to the song replicating his voice, "Vete."
"If you guys like that s***ty song that is viral on TikTok, leave this group right now. You guys don't deserve to be my friends.
"This is exactly why I made the new album [Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana], to get rid of people like this. So, chu chu fuera. My God... I don't want you at the tour, either."

Artists Shun, Creeped Out by AI Music
According to reports, Bad Bunny was not the only artist who was put off by the AI-generated tracks, apparently, Drake was equally disturbed.
"I was very surprised how easy it was. Right out of the AI, it sounds pretty good. It sounds real," the Canadian rapper said following the release of "Heart on My Sleeve" online.
"It's honestly kind of scary how easy these things are to do," he added.
On the other hand, there are artists who have begun embracing the changing times and AI, like Paul McCartney who just dropped a new song with The Beatles, "Now And Then."
"We were able to take John's voice and get it pure through this AI," the singer-songwriter said. "Then we can mix the record, as you would normally do. It gives you some sort of leeway."
