He insists there’s nothing artificial about this hit. LA-based rapper Fenix Flexin has been forced to deny allegations that his wildly popular new song “Rubberz” was generated using artificial intelligence — as internet sleuths and music industry figures pick apart everything from his vocals to the track’s production.
