'Black women are where all these TikTok dances come from, and we don’t get the money or recognition for it. I don’t feel like we should wait around to get it,' says FousheeLive. Read her interview with W, here:
s annual music issue, the up-and-comer talks viral fame, the wage gap for Black content creators, and her eclectic sense of style.
You had a big moment on TikTok in April 2020, after the rapper Sleepy Hallow used a sample from your song “Deep End.” What was that like? I didn’t find out until millions of people were using the clip as a sound for their videos. People were like, “Who is this person?” I made a TikTok saying it was me, and people were like, “Drop your version.” Two parts of the song ended up going viral: the “deep end” part and the clip “Shawty, go get that paper.”I was actually very new to TikTok when that happened, so I would not say I’m a TikTok artist at all. I’m just an artist. I was on that independent grind.
You’ve talked about the importance of giving Black women creatives their due. What does that look like to you? That means giving Black women more opportunities in the forefront. And paying them. I know a lot of amazingly talented singers who are writing for other artists behind the scenes and don’t get as much recognition. The wage gap for Black content creators is scary. Black women are where all these fucking TikTok dances come from, and we don’t get the money or recognition for it. I don’t feel like we should wait around to get it.
