Quote Controversial teen influencer Danielle Cohn says she made a mistake after backlash erupted across her social media channels because people believed she was trying to pass Ashanti's 2002 hit song "Foolish" as her own.
On Saturday, Cohn shared a TikTok asking people to "make a TikTok to [her] song" with audio of her rendition of Ashanti's song.
Cohn's mom and manager, Jen Archambault, told BuzzFeed News her daughter "made a mistake" when she "realized she put 'song' instead of 'cover'" in the caption. Archambault added that they had obtained licenses and permissions from Ashanti's label to cover "Foolish."BuzzFeed News has reached out to Ashanti and her team.
"She is a teenager. ... She made a mistake on a TikTok," Archambault said about Cohn. "I think this is out of hand."Unfortunately for Cohn, people were pissed, and the outrage has only grown over the weekend. Despite the fact that she did properly label her release as a "cover" on YouTube and gave original credits to Ashanti on Instagram, her TikTok caption caused a huge uproar.People are now trolling her, claiming she stole it and butchered it.
Yeah I remember she got dragged
oh, if they got permission from the label to cover it, it probably was just a caption mistake
but it's AWFUL so
