"If it wasn’t for charli the dance wouldn’t be famous. (edit): the girl deserves the attention but charli still made the dance famous. (another edit): for the people who are saying charli only got famous because of the dance, you’re wrong. She had around 1 million followers before she posted the dance."

"@_xjahxsehx_ Charli wouldn't be anywhere without her dance so don't even make it look like Charli helped her get to Ellen. Charli stole all the moments and opportunities from her because everyone invites Charli for renegade although she's just doing a cover from someone else's choreography."

10. Chanel Gold
"Oceane Camile the dance wouldn’t have even existed with her. so without HER dance, those tik tokers wouldn’t even be as big as they are. so once again, everything goes back to JALAIAH. she’s getting the credit she most absolutely deserves. if someone stole your dance and got famous and getting paid and given life changing opportunities off of YOUR dance without giving you credit while you got nothing, you’d be mad and you know it."

"@TF10 alicia Its sad that ppl like you were raised to think this is OK. You are a product of a society that says its OK to TAKE TAKE & TAKE more from ppl who 'don't matter' You feel emboldened to make such an ignorant comment which further confirms that you were raised NOT to pay homage where homage is due. Some would call this Stealing. For arguments sake, I digress.

"@Gezel ! Those two white girls, are the perfect example, of white people having a history of stealing from Black people and profiting off of them. It took her 5-10 minutes and multiple tries to perfect the dance and only 5 seconds for two white girls to come along and get credited for her work π"

It's actually more than a minute! So that's x4 of Charli D'amelio's effort. Charli Copied the dance and made it easier for herself, while Jalaiah used her unique style and killed it!"

"you shouldn't JUST on charli and addison because 1. they never claimed it was theirs 2. they DIDINT steal the dance from Jalaiah, they didn't know it was hers because the person who posted it on tiktok first without giving credit to Jalaiah was @global.jones"

51. Leena
"You do realize that these TikTokers don’t make these dances most of them originate off of Dubsmash and the “hard work” they are doing is just copying trends and dances. It’s obvious you’re not a creator or artist in anyway because you’d understand how damaging not giving credit or acknowledging a persons work is"
