The song, called &#8220;Heart on my Sleeve,&#8221; was produced by an anonymous artist called Ghostwriter.\u00a0It made major headlines earlier this year, when it went viral on TikTok \u2014 and then immediately drew the ire of Graham and Tesfaye&#8217;s label, Universal Music Group. The label forced the song to be taken offline across a number of streaming platforms, but not before it racked up 600,000 streams on Spotify and 15 million views on TikTok, as Billboard reported at the time. Now, the NYT confirmed with a representative for Ghostwriter that the song was submitted to the Grammys for both &#8220;best rap song&#8221; and &#8220;song of the year,&#8221; both of which technically are awarded to the writers, not performers.

Can artists really receive accolades for their use of someone else&#8217;s vocal style, or are they actively undermining the success of the artists they are impersonating? Do Graham and Tesfaye have exclusive rights to their respective voices \u2014 or is it all fair game in the era of AI?
