Fenix Flexin’s embrace of artificial intelligence for his synth-pop hit “Rubberz” has sparked a wave of digital applause and skepticism alike. With cover art that screams AI-generated, it seemed only fitting that the rapper would finally concede to the machine’s assistance in crafting his retro soundscape. Medasin’s video evidence, showcasing Treblo (formerly Sonauto) as the likely AI tool behind “Rubberz,” solidified the suspicion, especially when an AI detector crowned it as a Treblo creation. Yet, Fenix didn’t just admit to using AI; he proclaimed it was merely a post-recording revelation, claiming he was oblivious to the app until mixing time.

But let’s roast this admission a bit: If Fenix truly didn’t know about the AI tool until after recording, does that mean he’s more of an AI fanboy than a music innovator? It’s like discovering you’ve been using a GPS for years but only realizing it when you finally park your car. Sure, “Rubberz” sounds great, but did the AI really elevate it from good to groundbreaking, or was Fenix just coasting on tech hype?

Moreover, Tyga’s AI-credited ’80s album $tarface serves as a parallel, suggesting that the AI wave in music is catching up quickly. Yet, Fenix’s claim that AI had “nun to do w recording process” raises questions: Did he use AI for elements like melodies or chord progressions, or was it limited to cover art and perhaps some post-production tweaks? If the latter, then AI’s role was more decorative than substantive—like adding glitter to a gift wrap but forgetting the present inside.

Lastly, with AI detectors now pinpointing Treblo as the source, one might wonder if Fenix’s admission was preemptive or reactive. Did he embrace AI to stay ahead of critics who would have scoffed at any non-human assistance? Or was he genuinely surprised by his own tech-savvy track record? Either way, Fenix Flexin’s “Rubberz” saga shows that in the age of digital beats, even the coolest rappers need a little help from their AI friends—whether they know it or not.
