Suspected AI-Generated Track Climbs Billboard Hot 100, Sparking Debate
The Verge AI · rss · 2026-08-02
Rapper Fenix Flexin's new solo track "Rubberz" has climbed to number 58 on the Billboard Hot 100, but immediately sparked widespread speculation about its origins. The song represents a dramatic stylistic left turn from his usual trap-influenced West Coast rap, leaning heavily into '80s UK influences. While Fenix has denied accusations that the track is largely AI-generated, his cover art has also drawn suspicion, and he has done little to dispel the rumors.
