Addison Rae, a TikTok influencer, was on the The Tonight Show last month teaching Jimmy Fallon how to dance.
However, the segment was a bit mired in controversy, as it emerged that many of the dances performed by Rae were created by younger influencers, many of whom are black.
Fallon addressed the situation on tonight’s show, which you can see below. He said: “We recognize that the creators of these dances deserve to have their own spotlight.”
The creators Fallon spoke to on the show include Mya Johnson and Chris Cotter, whose video based on Cardi B’s Up went viral.
Rae herself previously acknowledged that she did not create the dances – which is common in the world of TikTok, but said that on her social media pages she gives credit to the creators. This was not necessarily possible on NBC’s evening show.
Rae, who has about 80 million followers on the social media site, is ready to make her debut as an actress in She’s All That Restarts He’s all that, which was recently acquired by Netflix.
