Summary
- Khalifa found Scream 7's use of AI and deepfakes to be 'trash'.
- He believes directors forced current AI issues into the plot.
- The rapper prefers movies that predict future rather than present.
Rapper Wiz Khalifa has voiced his strong disapproval of the latest Scream film, Scream 7, citing its extensive use of artificial intelligence and deepfake technology. Khalifa deemed the movie "trash," criticizing the directors and writers for what he perceived as a forced attempt to capitalize on current societal issues like AI. He specifically called the AI integration "forced and corny."
Khalifa elaborated that movies from his youth focused on predicting future possibilities, such as advanced communication technologies. In contrast, he feels modern films, like Scream 7, are too focused on present-day trends, leading to a loss of narrative substance. He pointed out a specific scene where a character's actions seemed illogical, further illustrating his point about the film losing its way by trying too hard to be current.
The musician, who has also been active in Hollywood with roles and soundtracks, released two projects in the first quarter of 2026. His critique highlights a broader concern about AI's influence on creative industries and filmmaking.
