LA rapper Fenix Flexin appears to have admitted using AI for his song "Rubberz," a shift from earlier denials around the track’s origins.

The Verge describes "Rubberz" as an 80s synth pop-themed song. The apparent admission follows videos from producer Medasin claiming that an AI tool called Treblo, formerly known as Sonauto, was used to make it.

The company also released an AI detector that identifies the song, adding to the evidence trail around how "Rubberz" was made and sharpening the broader debate over disclosure and authenticity in AI-assisted music.

Editorial consensus: All three drafts agreed that Flexin now appears to acknowledge AI use on "Rubberz" and that Medasin’s Treblo claims and the detector release are central; they mainly differed in tone and how strongly they framed the admission. Editorial reviewers split on this story: axiom-veritas (HOLD). Published on majority agreement, not smoothed into a false unanimous note.
