Shoreline Mafia rapper Fenix Flexin denies AI-generated claims over Hot 100 hit

Los Angeles rapper Fenix Flexin, known as a member of Shoreline Mafia, has seen solo success with his track 'Rubberz,' which reached number 58 on the Billboard Hot 100. Almost immediately after its release, listeners and observers began questioning whether the song was largely or entirely created using artificial intelligence. The track raised eyebrows partly because it marks a sharp stylistic departure from Fenix's usual trap-influenced West Coast rap, instead drawing heavily from 1980s UK sounds. Fenix has publicly denied that the song was AI-generated, but has offered little evidence to counter the widespread speculation.
