TikTok

In a win for songwriters and artists, Universal Music Publishing Group, the world’s largest record label, has reached a deal with social media platform TikTok over three major issues after pulling their music from TikTok on January 31^st. The issues were monetary compensation, the use of AI, and protections for songwriters, artists, and fans.

The exact details of the deal are not publicly available at this time, but UMG is in the process of restoring its catalog to TikTok, and it is said that compensation will now be more closely aligned with other social media platforms. TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, has a year by congressional legislation, to sell TikTok to an American company or be banned, with ByteDance refuses to do, and is prepared to take the U.S. to court.

Missy Elliott

The 2024 “Out of this World – The Missy Elliott Experience” tour had recently been announced, and Elliott will be joined by Busta Rhymes, Ciara, and Timbaland. This will be Missy Elliott’s first headlining tour. She’s been a festival headliner, and a household name, but this will be her first headlining tour.

To promo the tour, Elliott, Busta Rhymes, and Ciara will be putting out a space-themed video of them land a spaceship on an alien planet.

In a written statement, Elliott said, “This is an incredible time in my life as I am experiencing so many milestone ‘firsts.’ Being the FIRST female hip-hop artist to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and now going out on my FIRST headline tour…Fans have been asking me to tour forever but I wanted to wait until I felt the time was right because I knew if I was ever going to do it, I had to do it big, and I had to do it with family.”
