I ask because not only did a cac appropriate the kids interview and turn it into a song thats viral but Tik Tok has been known to not properly compensate black people

:dame:
It's real easy to shut down that shyt today and have it taken down. Technically it's not tik tok its the fans. They will flock to a white creator stealing some Black shyt and have a bigger following. Tik tok doesn't really care unless you complain.

True but it’s also very easy for the kid and his grandma to get taken advantage of if their not aware of their legal rights with it

It was a joke!
I don't think any child, regardless of content or context should be overexposed on social media, especially tiktok.

Can't imagine how the jit's gonna feel when the "fame" ends.

And that's the world you either get aware or get taken advantage of.

shyt will never be fair
This, in 2022 if you're taking advantage of any viral moment, but you don't take any necessary legal precautions, you asked for it :manny:

This is true but he should atleast have the money generated put aside for a college or retirement fund or something

Yes, he is being paid for the song and any endorsements like being a spokesperson for the corn council. The Gregory Brothers cannot produce songs with someone’s audio without the person signing off and being paid. I doubt the kid will become a millionaire for this but his family has been pretty protective of him so far. A morning show complained about how they couldn’t get him to come on and the people from Recess Therapy who made the video said his parents are letting him have fun with this but it will not be his entire life, he has school and needs to be a kid.
