Addison Rae under fire for \u201cstealing\u201d TikTok dances from black creators on Jimmy Fallon YouTube: The Jimmy Fallon ShowTikTok sensation Addison Rae made her debut appearance on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Saturday 27 March. But, after the star performed a series of dances, some backlash sparked over proper credit to the creators. Rae, 20, appeared on the chat show to discuss and perform her new single, \u2018Obsessed\u2019 as well as sitting down with a discussion with Fallon about her budding career. With over 78 million followers and a net worth of $2 million, she is undeniably one of the most successful creators on the platform. As a dancer, Addison built a lot of her fanbase by performing a range of dances on the app like \u2018Savage\u2019, \u2018Laffy Taffy\u2019 and \u2018Corvette\u2019. However, following her appearance on Fallon\u2019s chat show, which included a segment where Rae \u201ctaught\u201d the presenter eight of the most widespread TikTok dancers, the pair have found themselves under fire for not crediting the original creators of the dances mentioned. Sunny Austin, host of talk show the \u2018The View\u2019, said in a Tweet that the lack of credit was \u201ca miss\u201d by Jimmy. \u201cLet\u2019s give credit to black creators,\u201d she Tweeted. This is a miss @jimmyfallon. Let\u2019s give credit to the black creators\u2026\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/4fy9p96J1G \u2014 Sunny Hostin (@sunny) March 28, 2021 With a lot of the popular TikTok dances being made by black artists, fans on Twitter argued that Addison appearing to \u201ctake credit\u201d for their dances meant that they were being erased. https:\/\/twitter.com\/55mmbae\/status\/1376045681232596995 Another user on Twitter slammed the decision to have Rae come on Jimmy Fallon to teach the dances rather than the original creators: So I\u2019m guessing all of the black creators who made these dances up were busy huh? https:\/\/t.co\/RS6boMNZH8 \u2014 He Who Remains (@KoolestKidOut) March 28, 2021 Possibly in response to the backlash, the video now provides credit to the creators of the dances. Given that Addison Rae has a bigger following than some of the dance\u2019s creators, some fans argue that she is taking advantage of her exposure to take credit: \u201cAll these dance trends were created by black people and a lot of them black women,\u201d a fan on Twitter said, \u201cBut Addison has the followers so the exposure\u2026you thief.\u201d Addison has not responded to the backlash, nor has the Tonight Show, although credit is now given in the video description.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
