A song that uses artificial intelligence to clone the voices of Drake and The Weeknd is being removed from streaming services.

‘Heart On My Sleeve’ is no longer available on Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer and Tidal.

It is also in the process of being pulled from TikTok and YouTube, but some versions remain available.

It follows stinging criticism from publishers Universal Music Group which said the song violated copyright law.

The music publisher said platforms had a “legal and ethical responsibility” to prevent the use of services harming artists.

The track simulates Drake and The Weeknd trading verses about pop star and actress Selena Gomez, who previously dated The Weeknd.

The creator, known as @ghostwriter, claims the song was created by software trained on the musicians’ voices.

Since being posted on a number of platforms on Friday, the track went viral over the weekend.
