50 Cent Reacts to AI Remixes of His Music: “How They Do That?”

During a recent sit-down with Complex, 50 Cent was left intrigued—and slightly amused—after watching AI-generated remixes of some of his unreleased tracks. The Queens rapper, never one to hold back, leaned in with a smirk and asked the question everyone new to the AI music scene is thinking:
“How they do that?”

It’s a valid question. As technology continues to shake up the music industry, artists like 50 Cent are seeing their classic flows and iconic voices reimagined with modern beats and AI assistance. In the interview clip, 50 watches an AI-generated track that mimics his distinctive vocal tone and cadence—flawlessly. His reaction: a mix of curiosity, amusement, and maybe even a little inspiration.

So how do they do that?

At its core, AI music remixing works by using machine learning models trained on hours of audio—specifically, the artist’s vocals, style, and delivery. Tools like OpenAI’s Jukebox, Voicify, or Suno AI analyze an artist’s voice patterns and can generate entirely new vocals or remixes, even without the artist recording a single new word. Think of it like a deepfake—but for music.

These AI tools can take an old demo or even just a beat, and apply 50’s vocal style to it, creating something that sounds like a brand new track. While some see it as a fun experiment or a way to preserve an artist’s legacy, others raise questions about ownership, authenticity, and where the line gets drawn in music creation.

But one thing’s clear: 50 Cent is paying attention.

As fans continue to remix his catalog using these emerging tools, don’t be surprised if the G-Unit boss starts playing with AI himself. If anyone knows how to turn curiosity into innovation—and money—it’s 50.
