Halsey called out record label Astralwerks/Capitol as the singer claims it refuses to allow the release of a new song by the superstar until the pop star “can fake a viral moment on TikTok.”
The superstar singer told millions of followers on their TikTok in a 29-second clip that “everything is marketing” as the singer shared the “song I love” can’t come out, as a tune in the background that sounded like the singer’s voice played, reported Variety in a piece published Sunday.
“Basically, I have a song that I love that I want to release ASAP, but my record label won’t let me,” the 27-year-old singer shared in a clip posted on social media.
“I’ve been in this industry for eight years and I’ve sold over 165 million records and my record company is saying I can’t release [the song] unless they can fake a viral moment on TikTok,” the singer added.
“Everything is marketing,” Halsey continued. “And they are doing this to every artist these days. I just want to release music, man and I deserve better tbh[to be honest]. I’m tired.”
At the time of this publication, the clip has been liked 1.1 million times.

“Talked to my label tonight after my TikTok tantrum,” Halsey tweeted. “They said ‘wow the tiktok is going really strong!’ I was like ok cool so can I release my song now? They said ‘we’ll see!’ Tell me again how I’m making
