Suno Pulls Mary J. Blige Ad, Says She Never Authorized Campaign
The AI music company says it struck a deal with someone who falsely presented themselves as Blige's representative. Suno Pulls Mary J. Blige Ad, Says She Never Authorized Campaign Alex Krinsky
Suno swiftly removed an ad featuring controversial singer Mary J. Blige after discovering she hadn't officially approved the campaign. The ad, promoting Suno Studio 2.0, had been shared and edited multiple times on the internet, sparking backlash due to its misleading portrayal. According to Suno's statement, they had signed a deal with a party posing as Blige's authorized representative.
The company immediately terminated the campaign once they realized the deception. Blige's team has not commented on the situation, leaving unclear how the impersonator managed to defame the artist's current reputation. Suno's rise has been fraught with controversy, including ongoing copyright infringement lawsuits from both Gerencia 360 Music and a coalition of songwriters including Jason Isbell.
Additionally, the Canadian SOCAN organization has lodged evidence of direct song rips generated by Suno in a court case.
