Yesterday, January 30th, Universal Music Group opened up about how they will be removing their entire library off the popular app. They're top priority is making sure the artists are prospering from the use of their songs and explained that TikTok was trying to low ball them when it came time to renew their contract.  TikTok accused UMG of putting “their own greed above the interests of their artists and songwriters.” TikTok continued, “Despite Universal’s false narrative and rhetoric, the fact is they have chosen to walk away from the powerful support of a platform with well over a billion users that serves as a free promotional and discovery vehicle for their talent.” For those that don't know UMG owns the music catalogs of some of the biggest names on the Billboard right now. Some being: Drake, Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, BTS, Bad Bunny, Adele, The Weekend, Post Malone and my favorite, SZA just to name a few. This will definitely limit the sounds users will be able to use on the app. People may need to get a bit more creative. Business is business!
