SZA Slams ‘Disgusting‘ Musicians Using AI, Says Platforms Like Suno Train on the ‘Best and Brightest Black Minds of Writers and Producers’

SZA took to Instagram on Saturday to slam artists using AI music generators such as Suno, alleging producer Diplo had equity in the company and was trying to train it on “the best and brightest black minds of writers and producers.”

“We make up 13% of the American population yet influence the world w our sound and perspective,” she wrote in a caption on her private “notmusicatalliswear” Instagram account. ”I AINT HEARD A WHITE AI SONG YET…We have no protection in legislature medical or creative. The easiest to steal from. DO NOT GIVE AWAY YOUR VIBRANIUM !!! DO NOT TRAIN AI W YOUR GENIUS.”

While a rep for Diplo did not immediately respond to Variety‘s requests for comment, he has spoken positively about using Suno and AI.

SZA brought her frustration to her main, eponymous Instagram account, claiming in a Story post that a search for her name showed AI models have been trained on 238 of her songs.

“If your [sic] a musician and you support this degenerate shit ? Your [sic] DISGUSTING and there’s NOTHING YOU COULD EVER SAY TO ME TO MAKE THIS OKAY,” she wrote. “I hope u have the life u deserve.”
