In 2019, Martini created AI rapper FN Meka along with Brandon Le as a product of the company Factory New. Martini was quoted as saying that the "old model of finding talent" is "inefficient and unreliable." In 2022, FN Meka was signed by Capital Records, generating new publicity and controversy over the AI rapper's black skin color and allegedly stereotypical appearance. Social media users labeled the act a "minstrel show" and leveled accusations of appropriation, given that neither of FN Meka's creators, Martini nor Le, are black. Capitol Records responded by dropping the artificial artist, releasing a statement that the company wished to send their "deepest apologies to the Black community for [their] insensitivity".
