AI Diva Xania Monet Scores $3M Record Deal—Zero Humans Allowed
Just two weeks ago, Hallwood Media dropped a cool $3 million signing Mississippi's very own Telisha 'Nikki' Jones, the brains behind 'Xania Monet,' an AI-created R&B artist who boasts over 1 million Spotify streams and 100K-plus Instagram Reel views. Despite sounding and looking like a digital jasmine blossom, those tunes and that face come courtesy of code, raising the legal eyebrow since copyright experts say owning AI-generated music is a foggy battlefield—it’s human touches or bust! Meanwhile, Jones probably smiles knowing she's cashing in as the literal AI hype train chugs down the southern US.
