Fenix Flexin’s summer hit “Rubberz” climbs the Billboard Hot 100, but an independent producer alleges the track was created with the little‑known AI app Treblo. The app’s built‑in detector now flags both Flexin’s and Tyga’s recent releases as likely AI‑generated, reigniting the controversy.

Key Takeaways

  • “Rubberz” peaked at #58 on Billboard Hot 100.
  • Producer Medasin alleges the track was made with AI app Treblo.
  • Treblo’s new detector now flags both Flexin’s and Tyga’s songs as AI‑generated.

Historical Background

Fenix Flexin dropped “Rubberz” in June, a synth‑pop track styled after 80s playlists yet wrapped in rap‑flavored lyrics. The single quickly entered the Billboard Hot 100 at #58 and amassed over seven million YouTube views.

The abrupt genre shift and a vocal tone that sounds markedly brighter and less nasal than his earlier Shoreline Mafia work raised eyebrows. Fans wondered whether the track’s polished sound could be the work of an algorithm.

Independent producer Medasin released a video claiming he had reverse‑engineered the song using a lesser‑known AI music app called Treblo (formerly Sonauto). By feeding the app tags like “80s synthwave” and “rapper lifestyle,” he produced a track whose lyrics and melodic structure closely mirror “Rubberz.”

Flexin and credited producer Purps on the Beat have consistently denied using AI, insisting the track was freestyled and recorded like any other song, with only auto‑tune and reverb added. Yet Treblo’s newly added detector now flags both Flexin’s and Tyga’s recent releases as likely AI‑generated, adding fuel to the debate.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that transparency around AI‑generated music is becoming an industry‑wide concern. When platforms automatically label songs as AI‑created, it could reshape royalty distribution, copyright enforcement, and the public’s perception of artistic authenticity.

“If artists don’t disclose AI usage, it could complicate future music licensing,” says music‑rights scholar Dr. Riya Singh.
Did You Know?: The AI app Treblo was rebranded from “Sonauto” just two days before “Rubberz” was released.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Is “Rubberz” entirely AI‑generated? – No definitive proof exists yet, but the app’s detector flags it as likely AI‑created.
  2. Are other artists using Treblo? – Yes, Tyga and several other musicians have had their recent tracks flagged by the same detector.
