- Treblo released an AI detector that identified Fenix Flexin's "Rubberz" as AI-created, after producer Medasin posted videos claiming the song was made using the platform formerly known as Sonauto.
- Fenix Flexin told an Instagram commenter: "never said I didn't use AI, i said it had nun to do w recording process," adding he "didn't even know what da app was till we mixed it."
- On Hot 97's Mornings With Mero, Fenix told interviewer Kazeem Famuyide there was "no AI on it" when directly asked about AI use.
- Fenix's team had previously posted what they claimed were recording session files and insisted the song was made by two humans recording in his living room with "pro tools auto tune and some reverb."
- The exchange came after a commenter pointed out that Tyga admitted to relying on AI for his own 80s-influenced album $tarface.
Why it matters: Fenix's flip from a direct on-air "no AI on it" to claiming he never denied AI use — while his team had posted alleged session files to prove the opposite — comes as Treblo's AI detector is actively flagging commercial releases. The contradiction gives listeners ammunition to discount any future AI-use denials from the rapper and underscores how flimsy session-file evidence can be against AI-detection tools.
