American rapper Meek Mill has expressed his interest in purchasing TikTok amidst the app’s uncertain future in the United States.
This comes in light of President Joe Biden’s April 2024 law requiring TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to either sell the platform or face a shutdown by January 19, 2025.
In December, TikTok challenged the law at the U.S. Supreme Court, following a meeting between TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew and President-elect Donald Trump. During a press conference, Trump acknowledged having a “soft spot” for TikTok and stated that his administration would carefully consider its future, leaving the possibility of a ban on the table.
While ByteDance awaits the Supreme Court’s ruling, Meek Mill has publicly offered to acquire the platform. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the rapper wrote, “Sell TikTok to me,” and added, “If they cut off TikTok, we going X and Fanbase.”
Meek’s offer underscores his growing involvement in tech and social media discussions, as the fate of TikTok remains a topic of intense debate in the U.S.
