In December, TikTok filed an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court against the law, shortly after its CEO, Shou Zi Chew, met with President-elect Donald Trump.

During a press conference, Trump revealed that he had a “soft spot” for TikTok, adding that his administration would carefully consider the app’s future and the possibility of a ban.

As ByteDance awaits the Supreme Court’s ruling on the matter, Meek Mill has publicly declared his interest in acquiring the platform.
