Parents and their kids also hop on the trend
making it even extra cute and adorable . The video usually starts out with someone in front of the camera who lip syncs the first line of the song with his hand held out and then reveals the person who has a fake squirrel dancing in a weird way. We love this trend
From sounds like unholy to love you so to cuff it, to made you look, to anti hero, to another love, to. Calm down and love nwantiti, we get to enjoy videos and content all with the help of the most used social media platform Tiktok.
Tiktok is an amazing platform to any content creator to become famous or any musician to have their song used. A lot of upcoming artist also likes to create publicity on Tiktok before releasing the actual song and this goes a long way to spread the word about the song and help the song blow up. We have had people who were singing only on Tiktok who has gone on to release and own their own songs. It is a marketing ground as well as an entertaining ground and a learning ground.
