What was said
"Every time I read about the company, and it's now at a $5 billion valuation, and next thing you know, it's at a $10 billion valuation, and it's all built off of the world's music, but yet not one music artist has gotten a dollar. So that's not okay. That has to be fixed."
Oseary publicly called out AI music generation company Suno, now valued at $5 billion and climbing toward $10 billion, for building its business on artists' music without paying them. He revealed he has met with Suno's CEO Mikey multiple times to address the issue and demanded artists be given the ability to opt out or be compensated. He noted that every two weeks, more music is now created by AI than exists on all of Spotify.
