PS: Last year, TikTok got some heat for suppressing content shared by Black creators. Is that something that you've personally experienced?
SS: When we created the Saweetie "Best Friend" challenge, all the big — well, we're also big, too — but all the bigger influencers did it as well, but didn't give us credit, and I was like, "Umm, do y'all know where that came from?" But that really made me feel a way.
ZS: Yeah, it has affected us in a way. Sometimes we don't get credit and sometimes people blame us for not giving credit. We did get a blamed for using the original creator of the "Savage" dance challenge, Keke, we used her choreo, probably two or three moves at the end of our challenge, and a lot of people were kind of upset that we didn't give her credit for those two moves. It is a big issue . . . and I think it's going to continue to happen because sometimes people can't research where the dance comes from. Sometimes they just see it and they want to do it because it's fun. I don't get upset that somebody didn't give me credit for that one specific reason — 'cause I know that you don't want to research who did it, you just want to do it for fun. I get that, but if you know who the originator is and you're not tagging them, then that's where the problem lies.
