Rikki Doolan Says Clips Of Him Singing At Tommy Robinson Rally Were “Deepfaked To Make Him Sound Out Of Tune”
‘Gospel rock and roll’ singer and former UKIP culture spokesman Rikki Doolan was the headline act at the Unite the Kingdom rally in London on Saturday, and the man has been facing intense mockery ever since due to the clips that have been doing the rounds…
What the actual fuck is this utter shite??

Not exactly the “bigger than Oasis” spectacle that Tommy Robinson promised, but hey, a bit of hyperbole never hurt anyone.
Now, Rikki Doolan is claiming that the clips have been “deepfaked to make me sound out of tune” and is threatening to sue people (including Piers Morgan) for “defamation”:

Amazing. The clip in the quoted post, and others, are exactly as he can be heard on the live broadcast. https://t.co/h9XdAiRRqo pic.twitter.com/AnLCfVdI3z
Interestingly, the guy who initially uploaded the clips insists that there’s no editing at all and the clips were taken directly from the Unite the Kingdom live feed:
I’ll say it again. There is not one single edit AI or otherwise in the footage that I put up. It was taken directly from their live feed. Here it is again for good measure. That’s not crowd participation @realrikkidoolan that’s bewilderment.

Well, apparently Doolan is gearing up to get litigious on his detractors, so I’m sure we’ll have the truth soon enough. I mean, you don’t take people to court just because they don’t like your singing, do you? We’ll have to wait and see how it pans out.
Unfortunately, Doolan turning up to the rally looking like Ian Watkins definitely was not AI.
