- The business deal for the ad was made by an unauthorized individual falsely claiming to represent Blige, prompting Suno to terminate the campaign once they learned of the issue.
- In the video, Blige appears in a studio interacting with a producer as an AI-created track is built, but her comments were reportedly taken out of context due to editing.
