Halsey spoke out against their record label over the weekend.
The 'Without Me' singer, who uses both she/her and they/them pronouns, spoke to fans on TikTok and told them that her label, Astralwerks, is allegedly blocking the release of their new song for marketing reasons.
The text in the TikTok video reads: "Basically, I have a song that I love that I want to release ASAP, but my record label won't let me,"
They continue to say that "I've been in this industry for eight years and I've sold over 165 million records and my record company is saying I can't release (the song) unless they can fake a viral moment on TikTok.
"Everything is marketing and they are doing this to basically every artist these days. I just wanna release music, man. and i deserve better tbh. I'm tired."

In the TikTok video, the text is accompanied by a video of Halsey looking at the camera, with the unreleased track playing in the background.

The singer followed up with another TikTok in which a man can be heard off-screen talking about the marketing strategy for her song, which he called So Good. The video shows Halsey telling him, "I just hate this... it sucks."
Hasley's label has yet to comment on the allegations.
