Canadian rapper Drake enlisted Tupac Shakur in his new beef

LEILA FADEL, HOST:

Good morning, I'm Leila Fadel. Drake's enlisted Tupac Shakur in his new beef. The Canadian rapper used AI-generated vocals of the late Tupac in a diss track called "Taylor Made Freestyle" aimed at fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar. It did not go over well.

All eyes are on Drake now. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
