Suno

The story so far

Pulled an ad featuring Mary J. Blige on September 3 after learning the endorsement deal was struck by someone falsely posing as her representative — the latest consent controversy after SZA's claim that 200+ of her songs trained Suno's models without permission. Meanwhile the company faces an amended UMG/Capitol/Sony suit in Boston federal court (fact discovery closes September 30) and is reportedly retiring its current unlicensed-training models for a relaunch on licensed data. Warner has already settled and licensed; Universal and Sony talks remain stuck over whether users can download AI-generated tracks. Watch the September 30 discovery deadline and any further artist-consent blowups.
