Since breaking into the mainstream with her many charms and talents, Awkwafina's popularity has skyrocketed, and her portrayal in Marvel Studios' Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings has also contributed to her status as a global icon. An incredibly talented celebrity, Awkwafina has worn many hats since rising to fame with her self-penned rap song, My Vag, in 2012.

The trolling has been renewed after it was reported that Mark Zuckerberg's Meta is apparently trying to use the actress and other celebrities' voices for various purposes in exchange for millions.
With the rapid development in technology and artificial intelligence, the presence of AI platforms has increased significantly in recent years.
