Celebrity Jewelry
Judge the jewels: lil yachty’s custom crayon-inspired cuff.
It’s made of 18K gold with custom-carved vibrant blue turquoise forming the tip and end of the blue crayon.

The sighting: Jewelry designer Nadine Ghosn recently revealed a very special bespoke design on her Instagram account: a custom crayon-inspired cuff designed for rapper Lil Yachty.
The jewels: A fantastic example of Nadine Ghosn’s signature style, the Lil Yachty bracelet is modeled after a Crayola-style crayon, with the rapper’s name on the crayon’s “label” where the crayon manufacturer’s brand name would normally go.
The piece is made of 18K gold with custom-carved vibrant blue turquoise forming the tip and end of the blue crayon. The gold of the cuff features a matte finish that helps encourage the visual impression that this piece of fine jewelry is actually a bent blue crayon.
Nadine Ghosn Jewelry does not list the crayon bracelet on their website, but a similar style – the brand’s signature pencil bracelet – is listed online at $24,880 for custom commissions.
After some scrolling, I discovered that this isn’t Lil Yachty’s first Nadine Ghosn Jewelry purchase: the rapper bought a Nadine Ghosn Lego ring for singer Faye Webster after the two of them collaborated on her original song, appropriately called “Lego Ring.”
The song appears to have predated the ring, which makes me wonder if searching for a fine jewelry Lego ring could be how Lil Yachty discovered Nadine Ghosn?
The trends: Surrealism has been a strong trend in jewelry in recent years, and it’s just a small step over from there to pop art.
Will we soon see as many celebs in Nadine Ghosn-style pop art designs as we currently see in Schiaparelli? Probably not immediately, but I’m very interested to see if the pop art style becomes more prevalent now that Lil Yachty has commissioned this piece.
What do we think? This is really fun and creative – and the pop art crayon is extremely well done, from its precisely-shaped turquoise crayon tip to the Crayola-inspired font of Lil Yachty’s name on the label.
It’s too soon to judge the trend potential of this moment (just one sighting does not a trend make, unless it’s on Taylor Swift) but I think this is a really cool piece of jewelry and I love to see celebrities support independent designers who make interesting things.
Judgement: 14/10 for a fun pop art jewelry choice.
What do YOU think?
I love this and i can’t wait for pop art jewelry to take off.

It’s cool, but this isn’t accessible enough to influence consumer trends.
I’m not a fan of this piece and i don’t think it has trend potential..

He Doubled His Sales Goals with Wilkerson
John Matthews, owner of John Michael Matthews Fine Jewelry in Vero Beach, Florida, is a planner. As an IJO member jeweler, he knew he needed an exit strategy if he ever wanted to g the kind of retirement he deserved. He asked around and the answers all seemed to point to one solution: Wilkerson. He talked to Rick Hayes, Wilkerson president, and took his time before making a final decision. He’d heard Wilkerson knew their way around a going out of business sale. But, he says, “he didn’t realize how good it was going to be.” Sales goals were “ambitious,” but even Matthews was pleasantly surprised. “It looks like we’re going to double that.”

Lil Yachty on Jewelry: More Is More
By Rachel Hahn
We may earn a commission if you buy something from any affiliate links on our site.
Rap wunderkind Lil Yachty has never really been one for subtle statements when it comes to his jewelry. Case in point: he got a bejeweled “ Yachty Simpson ” charm made in homage to the Bart Simpson one that Gucci Mane infamously wore back in the early 2000s. And in an Instagram story that the 21-year-old rapper uploaded yesterday, Yachty Simpson sits pretty on his chest along with an almost incomprehensible amount of glitzy, lustrous chains and pendants, including a snowman and what appears to be a white tiger.
And while Yachty may just be showing off all of his jewelry, including the diamond rings and bracelets that pile up on his wrist, it actually may be a timely reference to Quavo and Lil Yachty’s new Joe Budden diss track, “ Ice Tray ,” off of label Quality Control’s just-released compilation, Quality Control: Control the Streets, Vol. 1 . No matter Yachty’s intent, it’s impossible to stop staring at his icy wintertime look.

Lil Yachty Says He Once Had a Jewelry Addiction
Released on 03/22/2018
I think at one point in my career,
I was addicted to buying jewelry, yeah.
It was like a drug, because literally,
you'd buy one thing and then
you'd look at it for a couple weeks, and then it gets small.
It'd be big when you first bought it,
then it would get small and then you gotta get bigger shit.
(rhythmic music)
Hey what's up GQ?
It's Lil Yachty, On the Rocks.
First piece I have ever got,
my manager and my CEO, they bought me a baby boat.
It was like this, but it was 3D, it was constructed.
So then John, my homie John, he redid it super detailed.
I bought it with this Cuban link.
I paid $60,000.
It was the first chain I paid for with my own money.
I was excited as shit, because it was my first big chain.
I had little small chains,
and then from there I kinda went crazy.
This is self-made for me, you know what I'm saying?
King of the teens.
This was about $50,000.
It's a self portrait.
You gotta do a split of the portrait,
so you can see how identical this looks.
It has this grill in the mouth.
It has this watch on the hand,
and then my Cartier bracelets that I never take off,
those are on the arm,
and then this bracelet is on the other hand
with a tennis bracelet that I had, I lost it.
This ring on the finger, I lost that ring too,
but that ring's like this ring,
except for all white diamonds.
And I had this red St Laurent bandana on.
If you can see, it's like this red with the rubies.
It's super dope.
This is Boat Simpson.
You know, Gucci Mane, he did a Bart Simpson piece
a long time ago, and I recreated it.
You know what I'm saying?
Pay homage to Gucci.
Bart was always dope.
Got like a little boat on it,
some 1017 birds at the top.
This was a hundred grand.
(cash register bell ringing)
And then I got this chain,
I had never seen this before,
you always see diamond chains,
but this is different gemstones.
This is like 20 grand.
This was kinda cheap, like 25 maybe 30 grand maybe.
That was dumb cheap.
Then I have Yachty Jesus, Yachty Christ.
It got the gold teeth, red hair with the diamond beads.
One of my favorite sayings on the back.
They hate on me, but they hated Jesus.
From the late, great Soulja Boy.
I got this chain with this diamond rosary.
This chain was so fucking expensive.
It was like fifty grand,
cause it's so many little diamonds.
And then this was like 25.
I think I paid like 70-something for these two together.
(film reel spinning)
I got a QC pendant.
QC is the label Quality Control.
That's our record label, you know what I'm sayin'?
Originally, everyone had just the white one,
and then Quevo came back and made the shit start spinning
and it fucked me over, so I'm back to the drawing board
on trying to see if I can make my shit fly or something.
I got this bracelet.
This was the only bracelet I didn't lose.
It says Boat Boy on it.
It's dope, right?
I don't even wear it.
It says Boat Boy.
I got this, my solid foundation piece,
which is my management.
If you see Migos, you see Trippy Red,
you know what I'm sayin',
we all wear this.
On them big old boogers you see right there.
Them carats, and what not.
The chain alone, I paid 55 grand just for this little chain.
Whoa, this shit is, this shit broke off again?
Yep, I gotta get this chain fixed again.
Gotta get that chain fixed.
I'm glad I just raised that up.
I gotta get the end of it fixed.
So we got all my diamond chains.
Not all of 'em.
Now you see a lot of people wearing these diamond chains,
man they be wearing fake diamond chains, man.
Diamond chains are not cheap.
I'm glad I got this segment
to talk about jewelry for a second
cause a lot of you rappers
we see you're jewelry and it's a little sheisty,
you know what I'm sayin'?
We got a couple of 'em.
This is the stuff that never sees the light of day.
Like when you go through your toy collection
you got those toys that you never play with
that just sit in the box.
But we got 'em, you know?
But we got 'em, just in case somebody was curious
if we got 'em, they're got.
This chain, Icebox, I paid $140 grand for it.
Man, I love Icebox, I feel like that was a little too much,
you know what I'm saying?
That was a little too much.
But, I did, I paid $140 grand for it.
70 pointers I think.
And I knew I paid too much, cause then I got this 90 pointer
And anything I'm saying, you can go quote me on.
I don't have a reason to lie, you feel me?
Anything you wanna quote, you can go ask a jeweler.
They'll let you know.
I don't have a reason to lie.
Damn, my boy John hooked me up with these two for 15.
$15 grand, it's like shit, what the fuck is that?
What's 15?
I'ma take them, screw it.
Then we get home, mine.
And I paid like 20 for this one, maybe 30.
A little bit longer.
One of my first diamond chains.
That's when I realized how expensive diamond chains were,
And then I got this one.
I paid, I know for a fact I paid $50 grand for this one.
Because it's longer, this is the longest one I have.
And the stones are pretty big.
They're like 50 pointers.
And then I paid $55 grand for this one,
cause it got those super big stones in the middle.
Really it was a female's chain and didn't fit my neck.
I was like, add more links to it, I want it.
$55 grand, bought it, cause I can.
This custom lock chain I got made.
For real lock, I got the link made.
I had saw Skepta wearing a chain like this,
but it wasn't iced out, it was just regular,
and it was way smaller.
I was like, I want that, but bigger and iced out.
So we made it, then got this iced-out boat key
attached to my Maybach key,
you know I'm not tryna' flex or nothin', just.
How you take it off, you know?
It's crazy cause I've worn this chain out
and forgot the key,
and then you're stuck with it.
This chain is so heavy.
It's like a kilo and a half.
We got this big ass Cuban.
This Cuban's almost two kilos, almost.
I cannot wear this chain for over ten minutes.
It's so fuckin' heavy.
Gotta get some diamonds put back in there.
This was 150.
I wasn't even supposed to buy this, man.
That's how they always get me.
They always come in with shit, you know what I'm sayin'?
He just had it, and it was the biggest one I've ever seen
so I was like, oh shit no one has one this big.
So I went and bought one this big.
I have this chain, it's like a puffer Cuban.
No one has this chain either.
Like, a lot of rappers have this bracelet.
Bracelet's like $40 grand.
It's like $40 grand from Icebox.
But the chain, know what I'm sayin',
I got the chain for about $75, $80 grand.
It was like 77, it's in the middle,
so I'ma throw it closer to 80.
You know how I do, i'ma throw it close to 80.
This is both from Icebox, and I told 'em,
if I buy this chain I better not see it on no more rappers.
Don't make it no more, you know what I'm sayin'?
It's the closest to the DMX chain.
Cause I really wanted DMX's chain.
It's like a Cuban but it's a little different.
I forgot the name of it.
It's like a special type of Cuban.
It's super expensive.
Cause of course I'd ice it out.
His was just like solid.
But it would be super duper duper duper duper expensive.
Like, this specific type of Cuban it was.
So I just got these two.
This is like a gang chain.
I call it a gang chain.
It's a sailing team piece.
Everybody in my gang got one.
My engineers, my manager, CEO, security.
Anybody I fuck with, if I really fuck with you,
you get the gang chain, the sailing team chain.
You know what I'm sayin'?
And which gets me to my next.
The Big Daddy Kane.
You know I'm sayin'?
With the solitaire in the middle.
This is still a gang chain,
it's just a gang, gang chain.
This is a new gang chain.
This is the first one, this is a prototype.
It's Popeye, Popeye the sailor.
I got a bunch of these coming for all the gang.
And then I got the Big Daddy Kane one
for myself coming, of course.
Sometimes, we lock it up.
I love watches.
I got this Patek Philippe, rose gold.
I had swapped the face.
I got the blue face,
you know what I'm saying.
Blue face doesn't come on the rose gold Patek.
It comes elsewhere.
So I had it put in there.
First Rolex I ever bought.
Lil, lil, lil Presidential joint.
I got this Jubilee two tone, got the big face.
This watch is very popular right now.
It's kinda cheap, it's like $20 grand.
But it got the biggest baddest one.
I got these big-ass diamonds in the face.
Big old boogers make you say ah-choo.
I bought this watch.
This is a Rolex, it's a Sky Dweller,
with the big ass rocks.
Me and my brother Offset both got this watch.
With that blue face in there, you know what I'm sayin'?
Blue face make you say Grace, know what I'm sayin'?
You get where I'm going?
Iced out all the way around.
The first Rolex I ever got was a gift.
Was this Yacht-Master, you know what I'm sayin'?
With me being Lil Yachty.
It was brand new.
Nice and clean, solid gold.
This watch is heavy as shit.
This watch was like $40 grand.
(cash register bells ringing)
And then I have a watch sitting on my nightstand.
A Rolex, I wanna say Presidential,
got baguettes all the way around it.
Just in case you wanna know why these two are empty,
because I ain't no sucka.
You feel me?
This AP is special edition AP,
this is from the QE Second Cup 2006,
and if you can get the inside there,
your little brother was just being born.
The AP was about 80, 80-something, like $85-86 grand.
Look at that face.
The time set on this motherfucker is not the right time,
and we're not gonna talk about that.
We're not gonna talk about that right now,
because that's irrelevant at the moment.
I've been wearing grills since like ninth grade.
I used to go to the flea market and get them.
I used to get silver grills and like eight carat grills,
I used to turn, I always had grills though man.
I've always had grills.
Nothing even wrong with my teeth, really.
I just like grills.
I got this canary yellow diamond set.
I got the colorful set.
And then I lost my white set with my rings and my watch.
I've ran through like seven or eight sets.
And that's like $7,000 every time.
Speaking of that, man, I lost eight rings.
Maybe like 10 or 12 rings.
And I'm missing the AP.
The Skeleton AP with baguettes on it.
That watch was $150 thousand.
And I had a ring that was $89 thousand,
it was five carats.
And then a whole bunch of other rings,
like $20 grand and other little things
that I don't know where the fuck they are.
Yeah it's pretty much all I talk about.
I got a song called Ice,
completely about jewelry.
All night taking pictures with all my ice.
That was before I even had jewelry.
I had no jewelry back then.
I was dead broke, sleeping on a couch.
Never seen a real diamond in my life.
I got some diamond beads made.
I haven't posted though.
I got a video of it though.
I'm gonna take like a couple hundred,
cause I have six beads on one braid.
And then every braid, so.
We just waiting for the right time to break it out,
but diamond hair beads, I did have that made.
It's gonna be super dope.
I can't wait to wear them,
at the right time.
That was an exclusive right there.
Man, this is nowhere near all my jewelry man.
All of my homies got jewelry on, know what I'm sayin'?
I only got one neck.
Just come to the house.
When we have a party you guys come too.
Man, I got a crazy video game collection,
crazy toy collection, got the car collection.
Just come through and see what the fuck
I spend my money on.

Lil Yachty Jewelry: How Much Is It Worth?
- Bridget Reed
- April 14, 2022
If you’ve spent just a couple of minutes on social media, then you’ve probably seen Lil Yachty creating a meme for himself. However, before he gained internet fame, he gained success in the hip hop realm.
Lil Boat is best known for his song iSpy, and because of his success, we spy him wearing thousands of dollars worth of jewelry at any given moment. Let’s take a deep dive into his collection to see how much he’s spent. Plus, we’ll discuss how you can dress just like him on a budget.
Self-Portrait Chain
You know when a rapper has made it big when they can get a custom pendant of themselves, and that’s exactly what Lil Yachty did. This cheeky caricature of himself covered in colorful diamonds ran him $50,000.
This is a highly detailed piece that looks nearly identical to a picture taken of Yachty a few years prior. It’s even complete with a gold grill in the mouth — just like one of Yachty’s actual gold iconic gold grills that he never leaves the house without.
Custom pendants can have a meaning unlike any other piece of jewelry, and you can make your own easily. From word pendants to custom picture pendants, you can have full control over the style and appearance of your very own pendant from start to finish.
The only major difference is that you don’t need to spend nearly as much money to get something just as high in quality.
Baby Boat Pendant
Lil Yachty is often lovingly referred to as Lil Boat, and to celebrate his newfound nickname as well as his sheer success as a rapper, the Georgia-based rapper paid $60,000 for his first-ever chain out of pocket.
This baby boat pendant is covered in pure diamonds from top to bottom, and it’s a highly detailed depiction of a yacht to represent his namesake. It’s one of those pendants that has so much sentimental value, but it’s not too flashy or ”in your face,” making it the perfect piece to wear whenever he feels like it.
If you want to dress to impress like Yachty without needing to take out a second mortgage, the freeway pendant in 18k gold is exactly what you need. It looks nearly identical to his custom piece; the only difference is that it costs just a fraction of the price.
You can have full control over whether or not you want the piece to be gold plated or solid gold . It’s your way or the freeway.
Rosary Bead Chain
Every rapper needs an iconic chain or two… or maybe more. But Lil Yachty’s Rosary Bead chain really might be the only one he needs. This chain made with real diamonds and white gold ran him $50,000 for the chain alone.
Bead chains are intricate because each little bead is completely covered with tiny diamonds, which explains why they tend to be a little on the pricier side. Yachty himself even admitted that he spent a bit more on this one than he probably should have.
But considering we’ve got a nearly identical one for much less, he’s probably a little mad at himself that he didn’t check out our website before committing. This diamond beads chain in white gold is fit for a king like Yachty without the royal price tag.
Boat Simpson Pendant
Lil Yachty is a 90s kid who grew up on cartoons, so it’s only natural that he dropped $100,000 on a custom pendant that depicts himself as Bart Simpson. It’s a highly detailed piece that looks exactly like the iconic character; the only difference is that it’s loaded with diamonds and complete with Yachty’s iconic dreadlocks.
Yachty mentioned that one of the main reasons he got this piece in the first place was because he saw Gucci Mane wearing a Bart Simpson pendant, and he wanted to one-up it. And while we do love Gucci’s original version, we have to say that Yachty’s pendant is a personal favorite of ours.
While pendants are great because they can tell a story or symbolize an important time in your life, you can also just get some to have fun. Like this Bart Simpson pendant, this panda pendant can have as much (or as little) personal meaning as you want without sacrificing a single ounce of style.
A chain and padlock are one of the most common ways to keep a door shut or a gate closed, but it’s also a fashion statement. And Yachty’s golden lock chain is truly one of a kind. It even comes with an iced-out key to unlock it, which is the only way to actually get the pendant off.
This is a huge, heavy pendant that is definitely a statement piece. It’s iced-out on all sides from top to bottom in solid gold and pure diamonds . It’s definitely a sought-after piece, so it’s a good thing it’s locked to his neck unless you have a key.
Our lock pendant in white or 18k gold is a nearly identical version of Yachty’s piece. It proves to people around you that you’re protected and defended, so they won’t try to mess with you.
Giant Cuban Link Chain
The Cuban link chain is one of the most iconic designs in hip hop, and of course, Yachty has one for himself. But in typical Lil Boat fashion, his is bigger and heavier than all the rest. Clocking in at two kilos in weight and a whopping $150,000 in price, Yachty has said he can’t wear this thing for more than 10 minutes without hurting his neck.
While Cuban links can certainly make a statement the bigger you go, they can also be subtle and subdued if that’s more your style. 6 Ice has a wide selection of Cuban chains in all shapes and sizes to fit any occasion, style, and budget.
Patek Watch
Whenever someone thinks of hip hop jewelry, they probably immediately think of chains and pendants. However, a gold watch can really set the tone of an entire look, and Yachty’s Patek watch can’t be ignored.
This golden watch has a blue face, making for a stunning contrast between the two hues. It’s truly a stunning piece that anyone would want to replicate. And the good news is that you absolutely can.

Your own ways of feeling the American Dream, and that’s exactly what we did.”

Lil Yachty Fires Back Against Jeweler In Lawsuit, Says He Already Paid Half Of Debt

- T.D. Kirkland Author
Lil Yachty’s jewelry fiasco continues and he is now arguing he should not be forced into a default judgment over an unpaid jewelry debt.
It maybe 2020, but it looks like Lil Yatchy is still dealing with the drama from 2019. The 22-year-old rapper, who loves his bling, was accused of skipping out on more than $233,000 worth of jewelry in a lawsuit filed last November. Guven’s Fine Jewelry alleged the Georgia-rapper supposedly tried to clear a $233,000 debt with a $70,000 bad check.
The jeweler goes on to say that when he asked Lil Yachty about the debt he got a boatload of excuses that ranged from, “I have had many bills to pay, taxes, debt, etc.” He even claimed that Yachty shared that he had fallen on hard times financially and allegedly said, “The teeth I just got I traded jewelry for.”
Lil Yachty said that’s CAP, and insist he was overcharged.
Last year, Yachty detailed in his Instagram story his version of the incident. He claimed the $70,000 check came from his mother. He also accused Guven of overpricing the jewelry, which led to him not paying.
“I’ve paid Jon [Guven] over $900,000 and I got receipts because I don’t carry cash,” he explained. “I pay [for] everything with credit and checks. So in the case that I wrote him a $70,000 check, first off, I don’t write checks. My momma writes checks. I never wrote that man a check ever in my life. My mother wrote him a check a year ago for something that she was doing out of her bank account. And she spelled his name wrong on the check.”
One year later and he is sticking to his story, and according to legal document the hip-hop star is arguing that the missing sum is a result of Guven’s fraudulent and unethical actions. The lawsuit states that Yachty paid more than half of his $600,000 debt, but he is fighting Guven’s request for a default judgment to be issued against him to cough up the remainder.

Lil Yachty Has a Wild Clapback to Fans Saying He Stole Playboi Carti’s Flow
Lil Yachty is clapping back at fans who accused the rapper of stealing Playboi Carti 's flow on a new song.
Lil Yachty Has a Wild Clapback to Fans Saying He Stole Playboi Carti's Flow
On Wednesday (March 20), Yachty responded to chatter online surrounding his flow on an unreleased song Kai Cenat previewed during a livestream last Monday (March 18). Fans were quick to call out Lil Boat's cadence on the track, with many of them comparing it to Carti's.
"Biting him? How did I bite him?" Yachty wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, in response to a critic. "If that's the case i been workin with cardio since 2019-2020 on record yall fans be smoking the strongest d**k."
Cardo is known for producing all of Carti's most recent releases : "H00dByAir," "Ketamine," "EvilJ0rdan" and "Backr00ms." So fans were quick to clap back at Yachty's clapback.
"The song is terrible," the user @hadmyback replied . "The beat is a ‘H00DBYAIR’-type beat. Your flow is an obvious attempt at a Carti flow, and you used a ‘what’ ad-lib in the same cadence [that] Carti uses.”

Boat had previously announced in an Instagram post on Feb. 13 that he is dropping a new album with James Blake .
"I mean, granted, I think James has worked with a quite substantial amount of hip-hop artists. But this project is so left for both of us," the Quality Control rapper said in the video clip. "And then, aside from the one picture that James posted, which—he doesn’t have many followers actually—I don’t think people know that we know each other exist. So it’s just gon’ be like, 'What the f**k? When they do this?'"
Lil Yachty had previously dropped off "A Cold Sunday" on Feb. 2.

Lil Yachty on Claim He Copied Playboi Carti's Sound: 'Y'all Fans Be Smoking the Strongest Dick'
Yachty also pointed out that he's been working with producer Cardo for several years.
Lil Yachty has a message for those he believes are "smoking the strongest dick" when it comes to assessing his music .
As seen below, Kai Cenat recently previewed an unreleased Yachty track during a stream, prompting some listeners to start comparing the clip to the work of Playboi Carti , who's expected to drop his long-teased Whole Lotta Red follow-up at some point this year.
kai cenat just previewed a new lil yachty snippet on stream pic.twitter.com/wi75w15snr — isaiah✰ (@tlop444) March 19, 2024
One tweeted response in particular ultimately caught Yachty's attention, with a listener arguing that Carti "can't try 1 new sound without rappers immediately biting him." Yachty disagreed, as did other listeners.
“[B]iting him? how did i bite him?” Yachty asked. “[T]he beat? if that’s the case i been workin with cardo since 2019-2020 on record yall fans be smoking the strongest dick.”
Cardo’s production discography is extensive and notably includes several recent Carti releases, " H00DBYAIR " among them. He’s also worked with Drake , Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar, and more. Just last month, he was enlisted for Yachty's " Something Ether ."
As fans will recall, Yachty urged Akademiks to " stop drinking " in July of last year after a claim about Carti inspiring his then-recent artistic output.
"He said he’s in the studio with Carti and Carti made him change his entire sound. Facts," Akademiks claimed at the time, swiftly spurring a response from Yachty, who called him "so insane" for making the remarks.
"I didn’t tell u this at all,” Yachty added.
Next for Yachty is a run of tour dates including previously announced performances at the Dreamville Festival in Raleigh and Coachella in Indio, both slated for April. As for more new music, Yachty recently spoke out about a full-length collaborative project with James Blake, tentatively titled Bad Cameo .

Shooting victims are ‘calling’ members of Congress. Is it OK to use AI to clone your child’s voice to deliver a political message?
- Search Search
- Copy Link Link Copied!
Since the middle of February, members of Congress have received more than 119,000 calls demanding that they pass stricter gun control laws. But these aren’t the typical kind of calls made by constituencies voicing their concerns.
Through the use of artificial intelligence these calls are seemingly being made from the grave — by children who were killed as a direct result of gun violence.
“In 2018, when I was 15 years old, I was killed by an unsecure gun at my friend’s house,” reads a message in the voice of Connecticut native Ethan Song. “My parents recreated my voice using AI so I can finally ask you to do something to protect kids.”
These messages are being sent using a new website called The Shotline. The platform was born out of a partnership between Change the Ref and March For Our Lives, two organizations that were formed in response to the school shooting in Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in 2018.
The groups have partnered with ElevenLabs , an AI company that creates synthetic voices using recorded speech, for the project. Their aim is to flood Congress with these messages to get members to take issues around gun control more seriously. In a few clicks, users of the site can send these voice messages to their representatives and senators.
Rupal Patel, a Northeastern professor who has spent her career researching how technology can be used to help give people their voices back , believes it’s a good use of the technology.
“It makes it real,” Patel says. “It’s not necessarily about the person. It’s about the story, and by adding a voice to it we can see what they sounded like, what their dreams were. We associate that with a voice, that closeness.”
But another question has arisen: Is it right to recreate the voices of the dead, even if it’s for a good cause?
Patel says since the voices of children are being created by their parents, there isn’t too much cause for concern.
“It’s all about consent,” she says. “What makes it ethical and admissible is that this was consented by the parents of the child. This is them using an artificial voice as a way for them to convey a message. They have a right to do that because that child is below adult age. The parents are still the legal guardians. Any other person who uses it for a bad message doesn’t have the consent of the individual or the guardian.”
That being said, there are currently no laws protecting people from their voices being recreated using AI, she notes.
“I don’t think it’s a black and white line,” Patel says. “We have to really think about these things in a much more nuanced world. If they were using it to commit fraud, that is one thing. If they are using it creatively to convey a message, it’s a different thing.”
She compared the technology to Photoshop, which people use all the time to alter images.

Lil Yachty is coming to Northeastern. Here’s everything you need to know about Springfest 2024
“This is a continuum of technology, and we have to treat it like that,” she says. “How do we use it and evaluate it case by case? That may not sound like a satisfactory answer for some people, but we can’t just wipe it out as unethical.”
James Alan Fox, a Northeastern professor of criminology, law and public policy, says he understands the sentiment behind the project and recognizes the pain and anger parents feel about the loss of their child, but he does not think the project will be particularly effective.
“Whether it be parents of Sandy Hook Promise, Parkland or other cases, I understand their attempts to convince Congress and folks in Washington to pass preventative measures that will avoid other parents from walking in their shoes, and parents should speak for their sons and daughters, and they have,” he says.
“But having a murdered child speak for themselves in a synthetic-engineered voice, I don’t think that will help,” he adds. “In fact, and maybe this is just me, but when I was listening to the audio, it made me focus more on the quality of the voice, more than the quality of the message. It’s contrived and it detracts from the message.”
With the rise of deep fakes, Fox says, it’s important we are careful in how we use this technology.
“I’m OK with AI, for example, creating a new Beatles song , but that’s for entertainment purposes,” he says. “I think that’s where I draw the line.”
He says it would be more impactful if the parents of these victims continue to advocate using their own voices. He points to some inroads parents have made, including pushing for the first bill on gun control being passed in Congress in decades in 2022.
“What the parents can say is very powerful and would have a greater impact than an AI-engineered voice from the grave,” he says.
