The song may have been on Safaree’s mind as an AI version of “Super Bass” began circulating online earlier in the week, which Nicki was quick to condemn.
In a since-deleted post on X that went viral on Saturday (May 18), the “Starships” rapper quote-tweeted an AI-generated version of the Pink Friday hit reworked into a 1970’s themed disco tune.
“I hate yall so bad for this,” she wrote, though it wasn’t clear if she was being sarcastic or she seriously hated the production.
Nicki Minaj previously made it clear that she is not at all a fan of AI-generated art.

Last month, she joined Q-Tip, Chuck D and other artists to support a campaign that aims to protect musicians from having their creations jacked by artificial intelligence.
An open letter published by the Artists’ Rights Alliance seeks to push back against the use of said technology within the music industry as tech companies like YouTube have been experimenting with it via music-making tools.

It reads: “We must protect against the predatory use of AI to steal artists’ voices and likenesses.”
The artists also called upon tech companies to not “undermine or replace the human artistry of songwriters and artists, or deny us fair compensation for our work.”
The note also warns against the creation of technology that will “violate creators’ rights, and destroy the music ecosystem.”

The letter was signed by over 200 artists including some of the biggest names in Hip Hop.
In addition to those mentioned above, signees included Metro Boomin, Benny The Butcher, Dave East, Doechii, Jadakiss, Ja Rule, Hit-Boy and Tech N9ne.
