The music video for the song "Likkle Miss" featuring Skeng has an age restriction on it's website. The age restriction is a plot to stop her from raking in views, according to the artist.
There are depictions of sensuality in her music and visuals. The music video for her song "Likkle Miss" had an age restriction on it's website. The rapper posted two separate posts on social media, both of which contained a picture of the email she received. The grounds for this restriction would make any artist frustrated, but that's not the case according to the artist.
This is what you would imagine. They restricted my video but have a lot worse things on their platform. We didn't want to get a lot of views in the first day. She said that the label allowed her to use her videos all the time to promote weak shit but that they couldn't buy a promo for her videos.
After publishing this story, YouTube told us that they had removed the age restriction after determining the video didn't violate their community guidelines.
It is not clear what caused the age restriction to be in place. We will let you know what we hear back after asking for a follow-up on that. There are two possible culprits, according to the guidelines on age-restricted content on the site. It is possible that a video that invites sexual activity, such as provocative dancing or fondling, could result in restriction. It is worth noting that the videos that feature provocative dancing like the recent "Super Freaky Girl" and "Anaconda" have no age restrictions. Skeng can be seen smoking what appears to be marijuana at the end of the video. Gizmodo did not get a response from Republic Records.
Universal Music Group is the parent company of Republic Records. UMG rules overYouTube content with an iron fist. Some of the flags that come directly from UMG are because of the strict copyright policy that YouTube has. She is correct in saying that UMG and Republic Records have a relationship with the internet video sharing site.
At 5:49 p.m., there was a new update. The age-restriction has been removed, according to a comment from the video sharing website.
