Grimes, hip-hop news,

Grimes has approved of her voice being used in artificial intelligence-based music.
Taking to Twitter on Sunday night, Grimes (real name Claire Elise Boucher) weighed in on the increased use of artificial intelligence (AI) software in music creation.

While praising AI artists, the Oblivion singer gave her blessing for musicians to use her voice in an AI-based work if they divvied the royalties.

“I’ll split 50 (percent) royalties on any successful AI generated song that uses my voice,” Grimes tweeted, sharing a headline on the fake Drake and fake The Weeknd song “Heart On My Sleeve.”

“Same deal as I would with any artist I collab with. Feel free to use my voice without penalty,” she said.

The 35-year-old concluded, “I have no label and no legal bindings.”

“Heart On My Sleeve” was created by TikTok user Ghostwriter977 using AI-generated replications of Drake and The Weeknd’s voices.

The song was uploaded to Spotify and Apple Music on 4 April this year – and shared on TikTok on 15 April, where it went viral.

“Ok hate this part but we may do copyright takedowns ONLY for rly rly toxic lyrics w grimes voice: imo you’d rly have to push it for me to wanna take smthn down but I guess plz don’t be the worst. as in, try not to exit the current Overton window of lyrical content w regards to sex/violence. Like no baby murder songs plz.

I think I’m Streisand effecting this now but I don’t wanna have to issue a takedown and be a hypocrite later. ***That’s the only rule. Rly don’t like to do a rule but don’t wanna be responsible for a Nazi anthem unless it’s somehow in jest a la producers I guess.

Rly rly don’t like adding rules so I apologize but this is the only thing,” Grimes added.
