Justin Bieber song about ‘Diddy party’ raises questions about its origin
A new song that sounds like it was released by Justin Bieber, with lyrics mentioning being at a “Diddy party,” has gone viral on social media, sparking questions about its authenticity.
It first appeared on social media platforms like TikTok, X and YouTube in April but racked up even more views since the arrest of embattled rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs.
The lyrics include, “Lost myself at a Diddy party/Didn’t know that’s how it’d go/I was in it for a new Ferrari/But it cost me way more than my soul.”
Another line mentions, “Signed a paper so he never has to ever say sorry.”
Representatives for Bieber did not respond to a request for comment about the song, but several experts agree the tune is more than likely created with AI or other digital tools.
AI expert Marva Bailer told Fox News Digital, “The reason why this is generated is because it is not something that’s being publicized by the artist. And when we say ‘AI-generated,’ that can mean a lot of things. And so AI actually trains on the voice and what could be going on. It could be an AI tool, or it could be an actual digital tool. These digital music tools exist. What makes it really getting this attention is the idea of AI because it’s happening so quickly and it looks so real, and so everyone is like, it must be someone that’s using something from AI to make it look this real.”
