Fenix Flexin isn’t even denying using AI to make ‘Rubberz’ anymore
TL;DR
LA rapper Fenix Flexin has stopped denying that AI was involved in his 80s synth-pop track Rubberz. The debate started when producer Medasin posted videos naming the AI tool Treblo, formerly Sonauto, as the source, after which the company released a detector that flags the song as Treblo output. Fenix now disputes only the claim that AI replaced the recording process, saying he did not know what the app was until the mixing stage. He joins Tyga, who admitted to using AI on his own 80s-influenced album $tarface.
Nauti's Take
The upside is real: tools like Treblo let artists without studio budgets ship polished records, which widens who gets to compete at all. The risk is that admitting AI use only after a detector proves it burns the credibility a catalogue depends on.
Creators are better off labelling AI as a tool up front, while labels and platforms still owe the market clear disclosure rules before the next case lands.
