Universal Music Group NV has reached a deal TikTok that will bring its artists’ songs back to the social media platform, ending a months-long standoff that saw performers including Drake and Rihanna pulled from the network.
The deal includes better pay for songwriters and artists, new promotional agreements and protections against AI-generated music, the companies said in a statement on Thursday. Artists including Drake, Rihanna, The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar and Bob Dylan will be available on the app within one to two weeks, TikTok said.
