Louisiana Dance Musician calls on fans to help him save TikTok
Louisiana Dance Musician calls on fans to help him save TikTok

Cupid, a.k.a. Bryson Bernard, who dubs himself, "the line dance king," credits social media for reinventing his career among age groups in some of his fan base.
However, he said the changes have been more noticeable since TikTok arrived in 2016.
The Lafayette native has grown in popularity worldwide, after recording the single, the "Cupid Shuffle," in 2007. The song peaked at number 66 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Since then, the singer and songwriter has morphed into someone he calls the king of dance music. And as of late, he credits TikTok for helping him secure that title.
"Tiktok is music to the people," Bernard said. "It's a direct connection for music and dance, and also a great resource of information."
"With TikTok, I have tripled my exposure to audiences, as opposed to my past promotional strategy."
Describing his TikTok success, he said his new song, "Flex," has over 10 million impressions on TikTok and the "Cupid Shuffle," has, "way more than that number."
"What's interesting though, is that since TikTok's inception, I've been watching kids who weren't even born 17 years ago when I made the Cupid Shuffle, dance like crazy to it. Then, I'm watching the Cupid Shuffle fans, dance to Flex."
"Speaking for myself, I think TikTok has been a huge influence."
Now, the artist is asking fans to save TikTok by placing #saveTikTok on all their TikTok videos.
The reason? What has his ire is news from Capitol Hill that some members of Congress want to ban TikTok for all Americans, citing unfounded national security concerns.
Also, in Louisiana, there is a bill currently in the legislature (which is currently in session), HB 361 by Rep. Daryl Deshotel, R-Marksville, to prohibit the use of TikTok on state devices or networks.

‼️An important message urging Medicaid members to take action so they do not risk losing their coverage.‼️
In April 2023, Medicaid will re-start eligibility reviews for each member. These eligibility reviews typically happen annually but were paused due to COVID-19.
Medicaid will begin sending letters and renewal packets to determine if a recipient is still eligible and will continue reviewing over a 12-month time frame. It will take 14 months to complete the Medicaid eligibility reviews, so not all members will receive letters from Medicaid at the same time. When members do receive their letters, it is critical they reply right away.
Medicaid members should update all of their contact information, including their mailing address, phone number, cell phone number and email address, to be sure they do not miss important information from Medicaid about their health coverage.
