 SENATE ADJOURNS EMERGENCY PLENARY ON STATE POLICE OVER REP’S DEATH. The Senate today suspended consideration of the highly anticipated State Police Bill and all other legislative business at its emergency plenary session to honour the memory of Hon. Yaya Tongo, a member of the House of Representatives, whose death cast a sombre mood over the National Assembly. The upper chamber had reconvened from recess amid expectations that lawmakers would accelerate action on the proposed constitutional amendment seeking to establish state police across the federation, a measure widely seen as a major step in the ongoing effort to reform Nigeria’s security architecture. However, proceedings were cut short after Senate President Godswill Akpabio announced the death of Tongo, who represented the Kwami/Funakaye Federal Constituency of Gombe State in the House of Representatives.

DRAKE AND THE WEEKND SONG COLLAB ABOUT SELENA GOMEZ,REMOVED FROM ALL STREAMING PLATFORMS.READ WHY.(PHOTO).



A new Drake and The Weeknd collab just dropped. Well, not quite…but an AI-generated song rendered in Drake’s voice featuring another voice that sounds like The Weeknd, called “Heart on My Sleeve,” dominated the FYP this weekend.

The TikTok video racked up more than 10 million views despite scratchy audio and faulty vocals.

Labels want things to go their way
While it may delight the internet, pop-hit-slinging AI is not music to the ears of artists and companies that own the rights to songs. And the threat to their business appears to be growing: AI versions of Rihanna and Eminem have also released unsanctioned tracks in recent weeks.

Though it wouldn’t confirm to Rolling Stone that it was responsible for taking down “Heart on My Sleeve,” UMG has been taking steps lately to curb the possibility of unauthorized AI jams.

According to the Financial Times, the company recently hit Spotify and Apple Music with requests to stop their users from scraping content to train AI systems.
UMG says AI parroting musical output could constitute copyright infringement and that it is prepared to protect artists’ rights.
Zoom out: “Heart on My Sleeve” may have been scrubbed from major platforms, but AI is recording its debut album—whether music industry executives like it or not. And the labels will still have to deal with what AI expert Roberto Nickson called a “modern Napster moment.”—SK

Listen to the fake song below.
