Lmao this is horseshit. Tiktok is incredibly infamous in the industry for how shit their deals are, but labels put up with it because they know songs getting popular on ticktock drive streams and views on other platforms.

Like seriously not even the artists behind the most played songs on tiktok are making much money off their """artist first""" deals.
