The singer’s tracks were off the platform for ten weeks, after UMG (Universal Music Group) and TikTok were unable to reach an agreement to renew a licensing pact that expired on January 31.
Universal accused TikTok of trying to enter into a lower value agreement compared to the previous one and, in this way, unfairly compensate the artists. The group also stated that the company was not willing to take action against the harmful effects of artificial intelligence and piracy.

TikTok denied the allegations, declaring that UMG’s comments created “false discourse.”
