'Folded' Vanishes From TikTok Library After Kehlani Yells F*** ICE at the Grammys
Source: International Business Times
The celebration of a career-defining milestone has swiftly transformed into a digital mystery for R&B superstar Kehlani. Just hours after securing their first-ever Grammy wins, fans across the globe began reporting a strange phenomenon: the award-winning single 'Folded' has abruptly disappeared from the TikTok library.
Creators trying to use the music for their videos are getting nothing but silence, and older posts using the track have been muted with zero explanation. The timing has fans talking. It appears to be a direct reaction to the artist's blunt criticism of US immigration policy during the ceremony.

'What I wanna make sure that I say is that everybody is so powerful in this room and in this room later', Kehlani stated, commanding the attention of the industry's elite. The room fell silent as they continued, urging their peers to mobilise. 'And together we're stronger in numbers to speak against all the injustice going on in the world right now'.
The artist did not mince words, calling for a collective awakening amongst the creative community. 'So instead of letting it be just a couple of you here and there, I hope everybody is inspired to join together as a community of artists and speak out against what's going on. And I'm going to leave this and say, f*** ICE'.

If any of the kids on TikTok hadn't been aware the platform is now controlled by authoritarian RWers, this should get their attention.

Now they will know it isn't theirs anymore and unless they like fox news and wall street journal for the news and entertainment, it isn't cool anymore. How many of them use facebook anymore, and originally it was only open to enrolled college students. Now its' just grandma's and magats.
