Contrary to the notion that all Stonebwoy songs on TikTok have been removed or muted due to the Universal Music Group and TikTok licensing issue, only specific works like "Therapy" and the "5th Dimension" album seem affected. Generally, Stonebwoy's projects released before 2022 remain usable on TikTok. However, inclusion of earlier works, such as "Anloga Junction," in a Def Jam publishing deal could also be impacted. Stonebwoy is affiliated with Universal Music Group's label divisions: Def Jam Recordings Africa and Def Jam Africa.
This is a sad and unfortunate situation for both the music industry and the TikTok community, as it limits the creative expression and musical discovery that TikTok offers.
I hope that UMG and TikTok can resolve their differences and reach a mutually beneficial deal that respects the rights and values of artists.
