Universal Music Group and TikTok have failed to reach an agreement. In the absence of an agreement, Universal Music will remove its songs from TikTok.
Universal accused TikTok of "trying to build a business based on music, without paying fair value for the music" TikTok said it was “sad and disappointing that Universal Music Group put its own greed ahead of the interests of its artists’” The two sides discussed the terms of a new deal, with the existing contract set to expire on Wednesday.
