A few days ago, Billboard broke the news that an AI-generated artist, Xania Monet, had signed a multimillion-dollar record deal after meeting with multiple labels. Now, the rest of the music industry is reacting to that unprecedented development, including Kehlani.
In a recent TikTok, the singer/songwriter shared their thoughts on Hallwood Media reportedly shelling out $3 million to sign the fictive musician — whose “persona” is operated behind the scenes by writer Telisha “Nikki” Jones — despite copyright concerns previously voiced by other major labels. Spoiler alert: Kehlani isn’t a fan.
