It seems like even chart-topping rappers are turning to the latest tech for help! Finesse2Tymes is making headlines not just for his music, but for using ChatGPT to try and make sense of his record deal. The Memphis rapper is publicly expressing his frustration and seeking a way out.
AI Steps In to Decode the Contract
Over the weekend, Finesse shared several Instagram videos where he was seen poring over documents related to his contract with Atlantic Records and J. Prince Jr.’s Mob Ties label. He revealed that after being encouraged by others, he decided to try out ChatGPT for the first time to analyze the complex paperwork.
The rapper posted screenshots that appeared to show the AI’s breakdown of the agreement, which allegedly identified it as a “360 deal.” For those unfamiliar, these types of deals mean the record label gets a cut from various income sources, not just music sales, but also touring and merchandise.
Accusations and a Plea for Help
In a heartfelt caption accompanying the screenshots, Finesse accused those around him of misleading him about the terms of his contract. He expressed that he operated based on loyalty, but felt he was misled into a deal that might be worse than working with a lawyer.
His message was clear: “Let me out, or I’m going to spend my entire life to bring y’all down.” The rapper is clearly distressed and looking for assistance to navigate this challenging situation and potentially buy himself out of the agreement.
