Fans were mad at Addison Rae for not crediting Mya for the dance. But Johnson did not blame Addison for not crediting her. She said that it should have been her and Chris Cotter’s time as they were the ones who created the dance in February. Talking about Black creators not getting proper credit Mya said,

“This isn’t the first time this has happened and I don’t want it to continue. I feel like it is very important for us to get our credit because we are very good creators that are very overlooked in what we do.”
