An AI-generated song falsely attributed to Justin Bieber about 'Diddy parties' went viral on social media platforms, accumulating millions of views and being used in thousands of videos.
In April 2024, a song that appeared to be by Justin Bieber with lyrics referencing 'Diddy parties' began circulating on social media platforms including TikTok, X, and YouTube. The song gained renewed viral attention after Sean 'Diddy' Combs was arrested and charged in late September. One TikTok video of the song accumulated 7 million views, and the song was used in over 4,500 TikTok videos. The lyrics included references like 'Lost myself at a Diddy party' and 'I was in it for a new Ferrari, but it cost me way more than my soul.' Multiple AI detection experts confirmed the song was likely AI-generated rather than an authentic Bieber release. CBS News ran the audio through multiple AI detection tools that indicated the content was AI-generated. Representatives for Bieber did not respond to requests for comment, and there is no record of Bieber officially releasing the song. The incident highlighted concerns about AI-generated music affecting artist royalties and the potential for deepfake content to spread misinformation during high-profile legal cases.
