Suno pulls Mary J. Blige ad after singer never agreed to it; company banks $300M revenue

Suno circulated an ad showing Mary J. Blige approving of Suno's AI music — but she never agreed to promote it. Suno told Variety it "entered into a business deal with someone who presented themselves as Ms. Blige's official representative" and terminated the campaign once the misrepresentation surfaced. Context: Suno banks $300M in revenue with 2M users, AI music has flooded Spotify, and artists like Timbaland have embraced it — yet most fans still want human-made music, or at least not to know AI was involved.
