In light of TikTok’s possible ban in the US, American rapper Meek Mill has made an offer to purchase the app.
Recall that in April 2024, President Joe Biden signed legislation requiring the Chinese owner of TikTok to sell the platform or shut it down by January 19 at the latest.
Shortly after CEO Shou Zi Chew’s meeting with President-elect Donald Trump in December, TikTok filed an appeal of the statute with the US Supreme Court.
In a news conference, Trump acknowledged that he had a “soft spot” for TikTok and said his administration will think about the app’s future and the potential for a ban.
Meek Mill has stated his plan to purchase the platform as ByteDance awaits the Supreme Court’s ruling over the future of their app.
He wrote via X, “Sell me TikTok.”
“We are going to x and Fanbase if they shut down tik tok.”
