AI-generated music is experiencing a huge boom these days, but not everyone seems to be a fan. From Drake to John Legend, several acclaimed artists spoke against the use of artificial intelligence in the music industry.

Drake

Several AI-generated Drake collaborations went viral in recent months, including a fake duet with The Weeknd “Heart On My Sleeve”. The Canadian rapper openly spoke against this trend, describing his fake collaboration with Ice Space as “the last straw”.

Ice Cube

Ice Cube isn’t a huge fan of AI-generated songs, and he even went so far as to say it’s “demonic” to have someone take your original voice and manipulate it without having to pay.

John Legend

John Legend didn’t criticize AI-generated music as harshly as some other artists, but he believes it should be regulated because artists should have control over how their voices are used in the world.

Sting

Sting recently told BBC that “the building blocks of music belong to us, to human beings”, adding that he anticipates musicians will face a battle against AI in upcoming years.

The Recording Academy

The Recording Academy is also taking a firm stance against AI, introducing the rule that says that “only human creators are eligible to be submitted for consideration for, nominated for, or win a Grammy Award” at the upcoming ceremony.

Celebrities always had unique ways of announcing their pregnancies and often used music videos to share baby news with the world. This trend isn’t going anywhere—in the last week alone, several A-list stars showed off their baby bumps in new music videos.

Katy Perry

Katy Perry announced her pregnancy in the music video for “Never Worn White”, and celebrated her journey with each song she released since. The cheerful visual for her latest single “Smile” gave us a glimpse into her baby’s nursery room.

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen

One of Hollywood’s biggest power couples is expecting baby no. 3, and they’ve found the perfect way to share the news with the world. Chrissy Teigen appeared alongside John Legend in the music video for his latest single “Wild” and proudly showed off her growing baby bump.

Ciara

Ciara gave birth to her son Win a couple of weeks ago, and the final days of her pregnancy were truly memorable. Her baby bump is still clearly visible in the music video for her new single “Rooted” because she filmed it only two days before giving birth.

Who else loves Chrissy Teigen’s cookbook Cravings? We’re sure there’s many of you out there and you’ve probably wished a million times you had all the amazing kitchenware you see Teigen using, but simply don’t have the budget for it.

Things are about to change now. On September 30, Chrissy Teigen’s own kitchenware line is about to hit the market in Target stores and on their website. Teigen made sure it’s priced in a way that everyone who wants it can afford it, and that’s just amazing. The prices will roughly go from $4 for glasses to $120 for the most expensive item – the 12-piece cookware set.

Expect to see items like glassware, plates, bowls, knives, cutlery, Dutch ovens, and many more very soon in your nearest Target.

On the 16th of May, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen happily welcomed their second bundle of joy. They have already revealed what their little baby boy looks like and he’s so adorable!

The couple shared their little one’s photo on Instagram already. Aside from this, Teigen revealed his name on the caption of the photo. The couple named their baby Miles Theodore Stephens. This lovely moniker actually has a special meaning behind it that John Legend himself shared with the world.

The couple’s first daughter also has a lovely name, Luna Simone Stephens. According to Legend, they want to give their kids names with a bit of musical history behind them. So they took the name “Miles” from Miles Davis, the famous jazz trumpeter.

Legend also revealed to E! News that his wife liked the name “Theodore” and so they put both names together to come up with Miles Theodore Stephens.

For those who aren’t familiar, Miles Davis was actually a well-known African-American jazz trumpeter. He’s also one of the most influential jazz figures in the 20th century.
