Jason Derulo Reacts To Trump’s Plan To Ban TikTok

Jason Derulo On TikTok Ban: “That’ll Be A Sad Day For A Lot Of People Including Myself”

The internet went ballistic last week Friday, when Trump declared that he would make it his goal to eradicate TikTok in America over security concerns. While he’s yet to take a drastic step, it remains a headache for TikTok users and influencers.

“As far as TikTok is concerned we’re banning them from the United States,” the President said at the time, adding that the action to remove the app is a “severance.”

Jason Derulo who is a TikTok influencer apart from being a prolific singer and has over 30 million followers on the app, says he isn’t concerned about the potential security threats that Trump is worried about.

The singer reveals in a recent interview with Page Six that it would be a “sad day for a lot of people,” if President Donald Trump’s executive order to ban TikTok passes, but ultimately, doesn’t expect that day to come.

“I don’t believe that will be the case, honestly, but that would be a sad day for a lot of people, including myself,” Jason said. “I just have a lot of fun on the app, so it would be pretty sad, but I don’t think it’s going to happen.”

“I think a lot of people tap our phones, so you’re damned if you do, you’re damned if you don’t,” Derulo said, adding that he’s aware he will see ad notifications for products he talks about.

“I’ll say, ‘Man, I should really shave,’ and it’ll be like, ‘Here’s our new shaver.’”
