Charly Jordan calls TikTok backlash \u201ccrazy\u201d after using Black creator\u2019s dance Instagram, @charlyjordanDuring a Black TikTok dance strike, influencer Charly Jordan copied a Black creator\u2019s dance without giving credit and received a ton of backlash. Now, she\u2019s calling those complaints \u201ccrazy\u201d and claiming race has no place on TikTok. Charly Jordan has 11.2 million followers across TikTok and Instagram. In a since-deleted video, she posted a dance without credits that fans later discovered was copied from a Black creator (tracy.oj, who has 354.9K followers herself). This video has caused a ton of backlash, as it ties directly into an emerging subject of race discourse on the platform. That discourse has bubbled up into a Black TikTok dance strike, where Black creators are refusing to make dances until popular influencers credit them appropriately. At its core, failing to give \u201cDC\u201d (dance credit) is considered poor etiquette \u2014 especially when Jordan had no issue giving herself credit for a dance she made to Megan Thee Stallion\u2019s \u201cThot S**t.\u201d Further, Jordan\u2019s response to that backlash has failed to satisfy any critics. As seen in the screenshot, Jordan made a dance to \u201cThot S**t\u201d and gave herself credit. But, as has been shared in videos (like jrealnj\u2019s) criticizing the influencer \u2014 she failed to credit tracy.oj when stealing her dance for branded content. https:\/\/twitter.com\/defnoodles\/status\/1409190149791965188 Jordan isn\u2019t the first influencer to be called out for not crediting the original creators of dances she has used in her rise to stardom. When Addison Rae got backlash for not crediting Black creators during her appearance, she responded by saying that it was \u201chard to credit during the show,\u201d but that there were credits in the YouTube upload and she \u2018loves them all.\u2019 That response was taken fairly well. Jordan\u2019s? Not so much. The influencer posted a video excusing the lack of credit because 1) she did the dance poorly and 2) it was part of a brand deal. Then, she doubled down and called the racial concerns \u201ccrazy.\u201d Charly Jordan responded to the backlash for not crediting creator who created the choreography. pic.twitter.com\/7rJWIH3j4A \u2014 Def Noodles (@defnoodles) June 27, 2021 \u201cWhat does bringing race or culture have anything to do with TikTok dance creds? It\u2019s just crazy in my mind.\u201d This sums up Jordan\u2019s response to the backlash and that has left people dissatisfied, to put it lightly. The majority of replies to Jordan\u2019s video include mentions of \u201ctone deaf\u201d and \u201cignorance.\u201d The entire Black TikTok dance strike has ties to creators feeling ignored while influencers make money off of their creativity, which leads to one fan\u2019s summary of the problem at hand. As \u2018ramonaslefteye\u2019 writes on Twitter, \u201cif you want to make money off dances, why not make up your own?\u201d As of the time of writing, Jordan has deleted her branded video and has not posted any response to the backlash\u2026 against her response to the backlash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
