K. Michelle Sounds Off On AI Artist
During the livestream, K. Michelle addressed a fan who claimed they wanted to write for her. While shutting down the offer, K. Michelle also seemingly took shots at AI artists who she believes are using her likeness, mentioning plans to lawyer up. In the clip, K. Michelle can be heard saying:
“You know what? I don’t need nobody writing me no songs right now. I got so much built-up tension. AI people using my tones, and my voice, and all of that. And now I gotta go find a lawyer. All types of stuff going on.”
As previously reported, AI artist Xania Monet is the creation of Telisha “Nikki” Jones, a 31-year-old Mississippi native and songwriter who admits she cannot sing. Jones uses 100% of her own lyrics to power the AI singer, bringing Xania Monet to life through the Suno AI platform. However, many have agreed that Monet sounds just like K. Michelle, seemingly crossing a line she isn’t willing to accept. To note, Monet’s Apple Music bio even compares the artist’s voice to Michelle’s, Keyshia Cole’s, and Muni Long’s.
