Rights holders for Elvis Presley's music and Eight Mile Style, which controls Eminem's catalog, have each filed separate lawsuits against Suno, alleging its AI music generator produced songs that imitate Presley's sound and mimic Eminem's lyrics. Suno told Variety it bans unauthorized use of artists' names and songs and works with third parties to screen for misuse.
A group holding rights to Elvis Presley's music and a publisher tied to Eminem's catalog have filed lawsuits against AI music generator Suno, alleging it produces songs and lyrics that mimic the artists' voices and styles. The Presley-related suit invokes Tennessee's ELVIS Act, which bars AI firms from cloning a performer's voice, while both complaints echo arguments from an earlier Jason Isbell lawsuit filed in September. Suno spokesperson Cat McCormack said the company blocks prompts naming specific artists and screens uploaded material for misuse.
A YouTube video titled 'I'm Back,' credited to Eminem but actually created with AI voice-cloning tools, has drawn more than 100,000 views since being posted last week. The clip ranks highly in YouTube searches for the rapper, outperforming some of his genuine charting songs, despite an artificial-sounding beat and vocals. Many commenters in the video's replies appear to believe it's a legitimate new release from Mathers.
