AI-generated Rich Homie Quan video for posthumous song 'Still Dead' sparks fan debate over tribute vs. insensitivity.

AceShowbiz - The estate of Rich Homie Quan released a new AI-generated music video for his posthumous song Still Dead on May 22, 2026, stirring mixed reactions among fans and followers.

The visual tribute, inspired by the late rapper’s passing and the death of PnB Rock, features Rich Homie Quan depicted walking through a cemetery, spending time with his children, and performing in a studio setting, all created entirely through artificial intelligence technology.

While intended as a modern homage, the video has sparked a wave of criticism from some supporters, who expressed discomfort with the use of AI to represent the late artist. One common concern was that the video felt insensitive and detracted from the emotional impact of the music.

Other fans, however, defended the release, emphasizing that the project was authorized by Rich Homie Quan’s estate and that it helps provide financial support to his family, especially considering his role as the family’s primary earner before his death.

Rich Homie Quan passed away in September 2024 due to an accidental drug overdose. Since then, two posthumous albums have been released: Forever Going In in 2024 and Legacy of Hits in 2025, the latter compiling some of his most popular tracks, including “Type of Way,” “Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh),” and “Walk Thru” featuring Problem.

The AI video for Still Dead continues the conversation about how technology intersects with the music industry, especially regarding works released after an artist’s passing. Fans remain divided on whether such digital recreations appropriately honor the artist’s legacy or cross ethical boundaries.

Watchers are encouraged to view a clip of the Still Dead video and observe the range of public responses surrounding this controversial release.
