Suno AI Ad Featuring Mary J. Blige Pulled After Unauthorized Use
3 Sep
Summary
- Suno AI pulled an advertisement featuring Mary J. Blige without her consent.
- The AI platform falsely believed it had official representation for Blige.
- Suno faces multiple lawsuits for alleged copyright infringement.
Suno, an AI music platform, has pulled an advertisement that prominently featured Mary J. Blige. The campaign was launched without the Grammy-winning artist's explicit approval.
In the advertisement, Blige appeared to interact with a producer using Suno to create music similar to her own style. She offered creative input during the simulated song production process.
A representative for Suno explained that the company had engaged with someone they believed was Blige's official representative. Upon realizing this was incorrect and that Blige was uncomfortable with the ad, Suno promptly terminated the campaign.
This situation is the latest controversy for Suno, which is currently defending itself against multiple lawsuits. Major music entities, including Universal Music Group and Sony Music Group, have accused Suno of mass copyright infringement. Country artist Jason Isbell also initiated a class-action lawsuit this week. Despite these challenges, Suno has also secured partnerships with Warner Music Group and BMG.
