Published

In it second annual edition, TIME unveils the list of “30 Most Influential People on the Internet,” Some names include Donald Trump, Kanye West, Drake, DJ Khaled, Kim Kardashian, Donald Trump,Cristiano Ronaldo, Caitlyn Jenner, on March 16, 2016. Names like Beyonce, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift and some others didn’t make the list …
Kanye West makes the list because of his use of Twitter to pose questions about society and to promote himself as a musician, fashion designer and family man. The publication says the fact that he released The Life of Pablo strictly to the streaming service TIDAL is further evidence of his mastery of the Internet. West’s wife, Kim Kardashian, is also given a nod for her social media presence and mobile apps, which include Kimoji.

DJ Khaled was honored for mastering the art of Snapchat. The Miami artist provides his more than 20 million followers with keys to success from exercise tips to fan love. His popularity caught the attention of Miami’s mayor, Tomás Pedro Regalado, who gave him a key to the city in October. DJ Khaled released the I Changed a Lot album that same month.
TIME credits Donald Trump on redefining how political candidates use social media, for better and for worse. Although supporters value his candor, the GOP frontrunner has caught flack for tweeting insults at or about his rivals—alleging that Megyn Kelly is a “bimbo,” for example, and dismissing Marco Rubio as “Little Marco.”
Cristiano Ronaldo was profiled as the undisputed king of Facebook, touting some 110 million followers. He’s also only the third celebrity to reach 200 million combined followers across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Kim Kardashian West is one of the most-watched people on the planet, with more than 120 million followers across Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat. Most recently, she made headlines for posting, and then ardently defending, a series of nude selfies. “I am empowered by showing the world my flaws and not being afraid of what anyone is going to say about me,” she wrote. “And I hope that through this platform I have been given, I can encourage the same empowerment for girls and women all over the world.” The reality star also launched two new mobile apps in the past year, including Kimoji, which features icons of her famous derriere and “ugly cry” face.
Drake is named for his ability to create material that is easily digested by the Internet, such as the video for “Hotline Bling,” which was the subject of many memes, social media chatter and even inspired a Super Bowl 50 commercial. The Toronto rapper showed the power of the Internet when he performed “Back to Back,” his Meek Mill diss track at OVO Fest against a backdrop of Meek Mill memes.

Tupac’s estate to sue Drake for using AI voice of late rapper in diss track

Published

By

The estate of Tupac Shakur, the late US rapper, is taking legal action against Drake following the release of the Canadian singer’s diss track ‘Taylor Made Freestyle’.

On April 19, Drake released ‘Taylor Made Freestyle’ on streaming services.

The track stirred outrage with its alleged use of AI-generated vocals imitating Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg — apparently to taunt Kendrick Lamar and Taylor Swift.

According to a cease-and-desist letter obtained by Billboard, Tupac’s estate, represented by lawyer Howard King, expressed disappointment over the “unauthorised use” of Tupac’s voice and likeness.

The letter calls it a “flagrant violation” of Tupac’s publicity rights and a “blatant abuse” of his legacy.

King demanded that Drake remove the song from all platforms within 24 hours, threatening “all legal remedies” if he failed to comply.

“The Estate is deeply dismayed and disappointed by your unauthorised use of Tupac’s voice and personality,” the letter reads.

“Not only is the record a flagrant violation of Tupac’s publicity and the estate’s legal rights, it is also a blatant abuse of the legacy of one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time. The Estate would never have given its approval for this use.”

Drake’s management has yet to respond publicly.

It remains to be seen if Snoop Dogg, whose voice was also seemingly imitated, will take similar legal action.

Tupac was fatally shot while leaving a boxing match in 1996.
