Auto-Tune would become an extremely popular technique, especially with certain Hip Hop stars. One of those artists is Kanye West. The GOOD Music boss famously implemented Auto-Tune throughout his 2008 album 808s & Heartbreak. He still uses the voice altering effect in his current music including recent songs like “Only One” and “Wolves.”

Cher revealed on Twitter she spoke to Kanye and his wife Kim Kardashian at the Met Gala earlier this week. According to the pop icon, Ye thanked her for popularizing Auto-Tune.
