On March 27, Addison Rae appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to talk about her new single \u2018Obsessed,\u2019 and also participated in a segment where she demonstrated some of the most popular dances on TikTok, including \u2018Savage,\u2019 \u2018Corvette Corvette,\u2019 and \u2018Blinding Lights.\u2019 However, there were calls on social media for the show to properly credit the black creators who made many of the dances that were featured in the show. The show added a list of credits in the description of the YouTube video, noting each creator\u2019s TikTok handles, though many felt it wasn\u2019t enough. 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 Speaking with TMZ on March 29, Addison said, \u201cIt\u2019s kind of hard to credit during the show. But they all know that I love them so much. I mean, I support all of them. Hopefully, one day, we can all meet up and dance together.\u201d Now in an interview with Pop Sugar, one of the original creators of the popular dance for Cardi B\u2019s \u2018Up\u2019 has given her thoughts on the backlash towards the segment. Mya Johnson and fellow creator Chris Cotter uploaded their video showcasing the dance on February 8, and it quickly gained popularity. The video currently has around 700,000 likes and over seven million views. https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@theemyanicole\/video\/6927035476452855045?_d=secCgYIASAHKAESMgowVNwzPUZvP843OVUvS4SJK1eoJMhPffwPNh7q3A8MNSUaJ8aNFpTOtXu8x4lGYxGgA&language=en&preview_pb=0&sec_user_id=MS4wLjABAAAAnEzepZPJq-vfa8DXK6LYJXEVhws-eZKfq-nQ2ZXRSHL6ZW_SerPhZbNl0SbysPuk&share_item_id=6927035476452855045&share_link_id=E57C4B81-15CB-4EC8-B80F-336984943901\u00d7tamp=1617363332&tt_from=copy&u_code=d33l8bc591jd18&user_id=6621960276778024965&utm_campaign=client_share&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=copy&source=h5_m&is_copy_url=0&is_from_webapp=v1&sender_device=pc&sender_web_id=6891581267042141701 Mya explained she was \u201cvery surprised\u201d to see Addison using her dance on the show, adding, \u201cit\u2019s like, \u2018Wow, I made a dance that\u2019s made it all the way to TV. Of course, I was happy and everything.\u201d The star said it would have been better if they showed their names on screen, or the hashtag they created, \u2018upwmyaxchris,\u2019 rather than just crediting in the video description. https:\/\/youtu.be\/VPgAfPlsSg0 Johnson agreed that the criticism of Addison, saying \u201cthere needs to be a stop to these types of things. It shouldn\u2019t continue like it\u2019s been happening.\u201d She explained that \u201cI feel like it is very important for us to get our credit because we are very good creators that are very overlooked in what we do,\u201d after countless instances of black creators being overlooked when it comes to sponsorships and other opportunities.
