IAMDDB hits back at Israeli government “stealing her identity” by using AI-generated version of her likeness

IAMDDB has hit out at the Israeli government for allegedly “stealing” her identity in an AI-generated video.

1. Linda Cardellini on musical ‘Crystal Lake’ murderer Pamela Voorhees and her favourite Prince and Madonna albums.
2. Radio Free Alice are ready to take on the world.
3. Lara Ricote always knew ‘Break Clause’ would be a hit.

Rachel Chinouriri abraça seu passado de garota de festa em “I Think I Spoke Too Soon”: “Não preciso demonizar essa experiência”.

Aqui está como Jarvis Cocker classificou cegamente cinco músicas do Pulp: “Hopefully I will get it right”.

O clipe em questão teria sido postado nas páginas oficiais de mídia social de Israel na semana passada (quinta‑feira, 15 de outubro) e mostrava uma mulher recitando letras que incluíam: “Colonisers.

Say the name. Jews from Judea, it’s in the damn name” (via MixMag).

A postagem já foi excluída. Veículos de imprensa, incluindo o Manchester Evening News, relataram que o vídeo foi gerado por IA e foi publicado com a legenda “‘GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM!’ We did.”.

In the clip, the AI-generated person performing bore a resemblance to Portuguese-born, Manchester-based rapper IAMDDB, and a photoshoot she did for a Crack profile back in 2018.

Taking to X, the rapper called out those running the account, writing: “Hiya yeah so – why did you steal my identity for something I 100 per cent did not consent to?”.

Hiya yeah so – why did you steal my identity for something I 100% did not consent to? 🥴 https://t.co/5e1QCoeP80.

Meu coração está com cada pessoa inocente que está passando por perda, deslocamento e violência, especialmente o povo palestino que tem sofrido o inimaginável.

She went on to say that while she has “performed in Israel in the past”, that performance was organised “at a time when I did not have the awareness or understanding of the situation that I have today” and that she agreed as she was “a young artist grateful for the opportunity to travel, perform and experience a part of the world I had never imagined I would see.”.

IAMDDB’s latest album was ‘LOVE Is WAR, Volume 6’ which dropped in February 2024.
