Future pretends to be an AI model to dodge fans, jokes: 'This is an AI voice'
Future is riding high in 2025, having surpassed 2 billion Spotify streams and cementing his place among rap's elite. But with the accolades comes attention — and not all of it is welcome. In a now-viral clip, the Atlanta rapper hilariously pretended to be an AI model when approached by fans in public.
Standing in a sleek black outfit and designer bag, Future kept his head covered with a stylish cloth. When a fan tried to get his attention, he quipped, 'This is an AI,' before adding, 'This is an AI voice,' drawing laughter from those nearby.

While the moment was clearly tongue-in-cheek, it comes at a time when AI-generated vocals and tracks have become a hot topic in music. Some fans have even speculated that Future's recent collaborations — including "FINE S**T" on Playboi Carti's MUSIC, and 'RATHER LIE' with The Weeknd — may have leaned on AI tech, though nothing has been confirmed.
Still, the irony isn't lost on fans. One wrote, 'Future trolling us about AI when y'all say his latest songs sound like it? Genius.'
The 'Mask Off' rapper has been making waves far beyond memes. He recently joined the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and Travis Scott as one of the few hip-hop acts to hit 2 billion Spotify streams in a single year.
That said, Future has remained silent amid recent drama stirred up by Kanye West, who accused him and Metro Boomin of ghosting him on the 'Like That' remix. The rapper hasn't addressed the claim — and based on his 'AI' stunt, he likely won't be answering fan questions about it anytime soon.

Cardi B debuts fiery new track Outside at Cannes
Cardi B made a bold splash at her debut performance in Cannes, premiering her fiery new single Outside during a Spotify-hosted event on the beach. The rapper, known for her unfiltered lyrics and commanding stage presence, delivered the song ahead of its official June 20 release, and it didn't take long for fans to start speculating that the track is aimed at her estranged husband, Offset. Produced by Charlie Heat and HeyMicki, Outside is packed with pointed lyrics that many believe target the Migos rapper. 'When I tell you these n—–s ain't shit, please believe me,' Cardi raps. 'They gon' f—k on anything, these n—–s way too easy / Good for nothing, low-down, dirty dogs, I'm convinced / Next time you see your momma, tell her how she raised a b—ch.' The speculation comes after weeks of Cardi posting cryptic (and not-so-cryptic) messages online about relationship drama and betrayal, fuelling rumours of a full-blown fallout with Offset. Though she hasn't confirmed the diss, the message in the lyrics is hard to miss. The cover art for her single, which Cardi teased on Instagram, features a vivid scene of a classic NYC summer day — a burst fire hydrant, red Solo cups, lipstick, dominoes, and blunt wrappers scattered across a sidewalk with a caption that said, 'We OUTSIDE this Friday'. In addition to debuting Outside, Cardi lit up the Cannes stage with a high-energy set featuring hits like Bodak Yellow, Money, I Like It, Up, and Bongos, her collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion. She closed the show with the fan-favourite WAP, marking her first performance in Cannes as nothing short of unforgettable.

Sabrina Carpenter's new album cover for Man's Best Friend has quickly become a topic of heated debate across social media. Unveiled during a recent Instagram Live session, the provocative artwork has divided fans and critics alike, with many expressing concern over its imagery. The image shows Carpenter on all fours, with a faceless figure in black slacks gripping her blonde hair, a visual that many fans have described as overly sexual and submissive. Adding to the controversy, Carpenter posted a close-up of a heart-shaped dog collar engraved with the album title, further intensifying the debate. Critics quickly took to social media, with some labelling the imagery as irresponsible, citing concerns over its portrayal of misogyny and violence.
