Fenix Flexin’s viral track Rubberz is back in the spotlight, and this time the conversation is less about its slick ’80s synth-pop sound and more about whether artificial intelligence helped make it.
After weeks of online speculation, the LA rapper appears to have acknowledged that AI was involved in some part of the song’s creation. The comment has only intensified debate around AI-generated music, hip-hop authenticity, and how much artists should disclose when using emerging creative tools.
Fenix Flexin ‘Rubberz’ AI Claims Gain New Momentum
The controversy around Rubberz has been building for a while. Listeners had already questioned the track’s polished retro-pop style, which stood out from Fenix Flexin’s usual sound. The cover art also drew attention, with many fans arguing that it looks like the kind of glossy, slightly uncanny image often associated with AI-generated artwork.
The conversation escalated after producer Medasin posted videos claiming that an AI music tool called Treblo, formerly known as Sonauto, was used to make the song. Treblo later released an AI detector that reportedly identified Rubberz as being created with its technology, adding more fuel to an already noisy debate.
What Fenix Flexin Said About Using AI on ‘Rubberz’
The biggest shift came from Fenix Flexin himself. In response to an Instagram comment referencing Tyga’s own admission that AI played a role in his controversial ’80s-inspired album $tarface, Fenix wrote that he never said he did not use AI. Instead, he said the technology had nothing to do with the recording process and that he did not even know what the app was until the track was being mixed.
That wording leaves plenty of room for interpretation. It does not read like a traditional confession, but it also is not a firm denial. For many fans, it sounds like Fenix is drawing a line between using AI in production or composition and using it to record vocals.
Treblo AI Music Generator Becomes Part of the Debate
Treblo has quickly become a key name in the Rubberz story. The company’s AI detector and Medasin’s breakdowns have pushed the track from internet rumor into a larger conversation about what AI can do in music creation.
That matters because AI tools are no longer just remix toys or novelty apps. They can generate melodies, styles, arrangements, and sometimes vocals that feel close enough to traditional studio work to confuse casual listeners. When a song lands with fans without clear disclosure, the backlash can be swift.
Why the ‘Rubberz’ AI Controversy Matters for Hip-Hop
Hip-hop has always embraced technology, from drum machines and samplers to Auto-Tune and digital production software. The difference with AI is that it raises a more uncomfortable question: who is doing the creative work?
If an artist uses AI as a sketchpad, beat starter, or reference tool, some listeners may see that as no different from using modern production software. If AI is responsible for the core sound of a song, others may feel misled, especially when the track is marketed as an artist’s own creative statement.
Fenix Flexin’s comment will probably not end the debate around Rubberz. If anything, it gives fans, producers, and critics more to argue about. The track now sits at the center of a bigger cultural fight over AI in music: not whether artists will use it, but whether audiences deserve to know when they do.
