Kendrick Lamar used deepfake tech from the South Park guys to morph into various Black figures for his Heart Part 5 video back in 2022, and Jussie Smollett was one of them. The Empire actor had just been convicted on disorderly conduct charges for staging a hate crime in Chicago a few years earlier, and he got sued for over a hundred grand after filing a false police report.
Smollett told Cam Newton recently that he has zero beef with Kendrick over the whole thing. He said he respects the rapper as an artist, and he doesn't even know what the deepfake was supposed to mean. The actor settled with Chicago officials and donated to local foundations while refusing to admit guilt or hand over cash.
