Fenix Flexin Clears the Air on 'Rubberz' and the AI Question
The rapper pushes back on claims he denied using artificial intelligence on his chart-climbing track.

Fenix Flexin is setting the record straight about where 'Rubberz' actually came from. The song has been climbing the charts—currently sitting at No. 66 on the Billboard Hot 100—and along with that success came some noise about whether AI played a role in its creation.
Fenix is saying he never flat-out denied using AI tools to make the track. That's a meaningful distinction in a moment when the line between human creativity and machine assistance is getting blurrier by the week. He's not being cagey about it either—just clarifying what he actually said versus what people think he said.
'Rubberz' landing in the Hot 100 conversation shows the song's got legs, regardless of how the sausage got made. But the AI question sticking around tells you something about where we're at: fans and critics want transparency about the tools going into records now. It's not a gotcha moment—it's just real talk about the craft.
Fenix handled it straight. That counts for something.
