Donald Trump may be being hailed by some for saving TikTok amid the U.S. shutdown drama … but one mega-influencer on the hugely popular app says more people deserve credit — like 2 billion more!
OnlyFans model and TikTok star Sophie Rain tells TMZ … she predicts the China-based app won’t permanently shut down in the U.S. … and that’s all thanks to the billions of users creating kick-ass content that made the platform an everyday must-have.
Sure, DT has TikTok on a 75-day extension in the U.S. after President Biden refused to enforce the ban prior to leaving office last week … but, Sophie tells us the entire situation has become too political, strictly for grandstanding — and it’s “silly.”
Sophie — who has more than 10 million followers on TikTok — says don’t get it twisted … it’s the app users – individuals and businesses – who create content that’s consumed 24/7 around the globe who saved the app … ’cause it’s too worshipped at this point to bite the dust.
Even though SR admits she and her influencer pals freaked out when the app went dark for a few hours over the weekend … she was confident the app was not really a goner.
But, there is a snag … the app is currently unavailable to download via American outlets, and those of little faith who deleted it now need to shell out big bucks on eBay to get a phone with the app installed.
Sophie tells us she finds the secondary market absurd … and feels confident the app will be readily available in American app stores in the near future to download.
Hey, maybe once this is all in the rearview mirror … Trump will make Sophie his TikTok special ambassador!
