Because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, students around the world have had to alter their graduation plans this year. Instead of holding a big ceremony with family and friends cheering on students as they walk across the stage and accept their diplomas, a virtual gathering was held with star-studded speeches and performances.
Beyoncé, Barack Obama, Lady Gaga, BTS, and more were all present to deliver wise words to the graduating class of 2020, contributing to the "Dear Class of 2020" event. Megan Thee Stallion is also being celebrated for her high-energy performance, which also doubled as a tour of her home.
One moment, in particular, is being praised as "epic" when the Stallion performed her break-out hit "Big Ole Freak" before jumping into the splits on her couch and twerking for the camera.
"I know Megan did not just jump into a split on di couch and bounce with it," wrote one graduating student in pure disbelief.
During her performance, Megan sang her #1 hit "Savage," "Cash Shit," "Hot Girl Summer," "Captain Hook," and more.
While this was not one of the most inspiring moments of the live-stream -- that goes to either Queen Bey or the Obamas -- this was certainly one of the more entertaining performances of the night.
Rihanna Flashes Her Butt In Mini-Twerk Video
Rihanna is sure to attract Lil Uzi Vert (and thousands of others) with her new date night video.
Rihanna is a global treasure. She needs to be protected at all costs. The pop star has expanded her empire to include a handful of successful business ventures, including a make-up line that has been touted as one of the best, a high-profile collaborative brand with LVMH, some acting roles, and her inclusive lingerie collection, Savage X Fenty.
The Bajan Beauty regularly comes through with sexy shots of herself in her own product and, last night, she decided to spoil herself with a quarantine date night. Of course, she didn’t pass up the opportunity to shamelessly plug a few of her products in the video.

“The Jet Blacks are for life, but this Milky Way is sumn sexy,” wrote Rih as her caption, speaking about her Fenty offerings. In the video, she prepares herself a fancy dinner, pours a nice glass of red wine, smokes a joint, and gets a little wild.
At the end of the video, the buzz seems to be hitting Rihanna, who pulls up her jacket and shows off her booty in a pair of sheer tights. She proceeds to shake her tush before getting shy, covering her mouth, and ending the session prematurely.
Rihanna knows what she’s doing. Watch below.
Tory Lanez Names Quarantine Radio Twerk Challenge Winner
Jhonni Blaze is the official winner of the Quarantine Radio twerk-a-thon, as named by Tory Lanez.
Tory Lanez managed to turn this uncertain period into something fun for all of us, establishing himself as a force on Instagram Live with his Quarantine Radio sessions. In the beginning, the Toronto native was just trying something out but, by the end of it, he had broken records and attracted hundreds of thousands onto the stream with his antics. All good things must come to an end though and, with the end of Quarantine Radio in sight, a winner has officially been crowned in the twerk-a-thon.
When he wasn’t being shut down by the higher-ups at Instagram for impeaching on the community’s guidelines against nudity, Tory Lanez was keeping a close eye on all of the participants in the twerk contest. After forces such as Alexis Texas, Lizzo, and others joined in on the fun, the New Toronto 3 rapper has come through with a winner in his competition.
“Sorry my n***as I got so drunk I blacked out and forgot to tell yu who the people voted for !!! @jzapalvonkrishna we got u,” announced Lanez, crowning Love & Hip Hop star Jhonni Blaze as the queen of ass-shaking.
As for the talent show that the artist set forth in the later stages of Quarantine Radio, a singer named Miles came through with a Michael Jackson cover and earned his crown.
Noting that the show may have enjoyed its final episode this week, Tory Lanez stated that he will be offline for the next few days. If the lockdown is extended, he will return with new episodes but if we’re allowed back outside, he’s gone from the airwaves.
Diddy’s Son Christian Combs Prefers Lizzo Twerking Over Draya
Diddy’s mini-me, Christian combs, chatted about his family’s recent dance-a-thon that featured both Lizzo and Draya showing off their twerking skills.
Celebrities are doing their parts to help raise money for COVID-19 relief efforts. Recently, Diddy hosted an Instagram Live Dance-a-Thon alongside his Combs Cartel kids. The hourslong stream helped raise $3 million, but of course, the good deed couldn’t go without some bit of controversy. Lizzo joined the livestream to get in on the fun and began twerking. Diddy quickly shut that down when he heard the song she was listening to. He said he thought the language was too vulgar for the atmosphere.

Later, Draya also made an appearance on the split-screen Live and twerked for the tens of thousands of viewers—a move that Diddy allowed. He was later accused of being “fatphobic,” even after explaining himself. The rap mogul’s 22-year-old son Christian Combs hopped on Live once again recently and not only named who the better twerker was between Lizzo and Draya, but he explained that his father didn’t even know what was going on.
“Might have to give that to Lizzo, I ain’t gon’ lie, she was going a little too crazy,” Christian said. “You know the funny thing about it, my pop didn’t even see that she was twerking. He really just heard the music. He wasn’t even in the frame if you watch the video back.” Swipe through below to watch it all go down.
Tory Lanez Flirts With Lizzo As She Twerks On "Quarantine Radio"
Tory Lanez got Lizzo to twerk on his Instagram Live after she was shut down by Diddy.
She may have been shut down by Diddy, but Tory Lanez had no problem letting Lizzo shake it fast on his Instagram Live. During these last few weeks, as much of the world has been cautioned to stay inside due to COVID-19, Tory Lanez has been entertaining hundreds of thousands of viewers on Quarantine Radio. The singer-producer's official-unofficial Instagram series has featured a number of artists, but the main attractions have been his twerking contests.
On Easter Sunday, Diddy grabbed his kids and hopped on Live for a few hours. He spoke to artists, held a dance party, and overall just wanted to spread a little love during the quarantine. At one point, Lizzo joined Diddy and the Combs Cartel on Live and was just about to get into her twerk groove when Diddy shut things down. Later, Draya Michele joined the Live and was allowed to shake it, leaving viewers to accuse Diddy of being "fatphobic." The music mogul later issued a statement saying the song Lizzo was dancing to had too many curse words in it and that's why he turned it off.
Tory Lanez popped up again for Quarantine Radio and let Lizzo back that thing up. "There's no discrimination at Quarantine Radio," Tory said. "We like 'em big, we like 'em small. Let's go baby girl!" Check out these two below, including Tory's face when Lizzo revealed she wasn't wearing any underwear.
Natalie Nunn Twerks On Tory Lanez Live, Says Drake Wanted Her
Natalie Nunn is just as wild as she was during her "Bad Girls Club" days while she twerked for Tory Lanez & said Drake slid in her DMs.
Tory Lanez wasted no time getting back to his shenanigans. If he's not able to celebrate the release of The New Toronto 3 with a twerk-filled party in real life, he's going to make himself one on Quarantine Radio. Instagram decided to give Tory Lanez a break and reinstate his Live privileges, and it didn't take long for the Canadian artist to get back to featuring women who wanted to shake it fast for the camera.

On Friday (April 10), Quarantine Radio viewers saw a familiar reality television personality who made waves during the height of her Bad Girls Club days. Natalie "I Run L.A." Nunn popped up in a split-screen with Tory along with a few of her friends. Natalie and her crew were all wearing bikinis in what looked to be a backyard with Mickey and Minnie Mouse balloons. Natalie was twerking for the camera as her friends poured baby oil on her. In a snippet of the Live, Natalie grabs food and shoves it in her mouth.
The wife and mother gained a heavy amount of backlash for her portrayal on Tory Lanez's Live, but she just clapped back in true Natalie Nunn fashion. She told her critics that they just wanted her to be a boring mother who didn't have any fun. Later, a fan asked about Natalie's previous interaction with Drake, and the former reality star shared that the rapper has slid in her DMs.
"He wants this p*ssy wanna see the DM but IM MARRIED," she wrote with a string of laughing emojis. When this allegedly happened remains a mystery, but check out posts featuring Natalie Nunn below.
Summer Walker Twerks In Her "Thot Clothes"
Summer Walker is going stir crazy while on lockdown, putting on her “thot clothes” and twerking for the internet’s enjoyment.
R&B star Summer Walker may not be the most comfortable person in a social setting but she still misses going outside and people-watching. The singer made headlines last year because of her social anxiety, revealing that she did not enjoy performing and would be taking a break from the stage altogether. This situation may have helped Walker become even more self-aware because, on her alternate account, she just posted a thirst-trappy video clapping her cheeks for the enjoyment of the internet.
Commenting on how crazy she’s going cooped up inside her home, Summer Walker remembered a time when she could go outdoors in revealing clothing and watch the people react around her.

“lmaoo yoooooo I cant do this no more, I NEED TO GO OUTSIDE IN MY THOT CLOTHES,” wrote the entertainer. “I don’t like to talk to people I just like go outside in my thot clothes grab a drink and people watch in the corner somewhere.”
The superstar’s video is the real show here. Summer rocks thong underwear and a cropped camisole, flaunting her snatched body and laughing as she bounces her booty for the camera.
Hopefully, this quarantine ends soon so that Summer gets to fulfill her wish for the summer: going out in “thot clothes” and watching everyone have fun around her. Watch the video below.
Megan Thee Stallion Low-Key Clowns Tamar Braxton’s Twerk Video
Tamar Braxton tried her hand at the Megan Thee Stallion “Savage” challenge but the rapper isn’t quite feeling her turn-out.
If you choose to participate in Megan Thee Stallion‘s viral dance challenge for her song “Savage,” you better come correct. Don’t bring your lazy dance moves and follow the choreography to an exact measure, or else you’re facing a tongue-lashing by the H-Town Hottie.
Tamar Braxton tried her hand at the TikTok challenge, bringing out strange Power Ranger-esque moves for the video. She didn’t quite bring the heat, shaking her ass at the end but still perplexing fans with her dancing. Even Megan Thee Stallion herself responded to the video, posting it on her own page and begging somebody to either take Tamar’s phone away or teach her the dance.

“Y’all somebody please go teach my big sister the dance,” wrote The Savage One on Instagram, tagging Braxton in the video. Aside from her tongue-out antics, Tamar Braxton didn’t impress much with the display, but it was still enough to bring a smile to Stalli’s face.
The Savage Challenge has been picking up a lot of traction on social media, bringing the song to the top spot of iTunes’ chart. This has the potential to become one of her biggest songs to date, boosting her Suga project at the same time.
Watch Tamar’s rendition of the dance below.
Meek Mill’s Pregnant GF Milan Harris Dances To Beyoncé
Meek Mill’s expectant girlfriend, Milan Harris, shared a fun video of her dancing while pregnant to Beyoncé’s “7/11” alongside some of her friends.
Meek Mill is soon to be a third-time daddy, and the mother of the baby in question, Milan Harris, is making the most of her pregnancy before she gives birth, by dancing along to Beyoncé’s “7/11” with her friends. On Tuesday, the mother-to-be shared an energetic clip of her and her friends loosely recreating the low budget music video for the 2013 track, in which Bey and her friends perform goofy choreography in her apartment and have the time of their lives. Milan and her pals brought the same carefree energy to their own rendition.
In the caption, Milan, who is the founder of fashion brand Milano di Rouge, wrote, “I love being around my friends and just enjoying the moments…..Ps: I always want to dance ? I hope my baby is a dancing machine so we can get the parties started together lol
#Dancevideo #Pregnancydance #Happydance.” She went on to recommend some of her favourite apps to download if you’re also pregnant and dance-crazed, noting that she “look[s] at them everyday and learn[s] so much.”

The fashion designer announced her pregnancy during one of her shows back in December, though she did not reveal at the time just who the father was. Due to the dating rumours that had been fuelling around her and Meek for quite some time, many speculated that the rapper had been the one to knock her up, but the two still hadn’t confirmed anything months later. It wasn’t until earlier this month when Meek was in the midst of his reignited feud with his ex Nicki Minaj over social media that he claimed Milan and the unborn child as his own. Since then, the two of them have appeared to be nothing but happy together, and we can’t wait for them to welcome Mini Meek or Mini Milan into the world.
Megan Thee Stallion Got In Trouble For Twerking In College
Megan Thee Stallion and her two best friends were once reprimanded by their college administrators for making twerking videos that went viral on campus.
Before Megan Thee Stallion blew up as a rapper and became a certified Hot Girl, she and her two best friends, Kelsey and Daren, were campus celebrities in college for their popular twerking videos that ultimately landed them in trouble. The Houston Hottie is no stranger to the twerk game, taking any opportunity to show off her incredible ass-shaking skills and knees of pure steel. Megan has been lauded as a bonafide twerk champion, and in her “Women Shaping The Future” solo piece for Rolling Stone, she explained how she’s had tons of practice in the art form.
In the feature article, Megan talked about how she and her two best friends to this day, Kelsey and Daren, made a name for themselves when they were freshmen at Prairie View A&M University in Houston. The trio would get together and make short twerking videos that they would post online for all to enjoy. Their filmmaking endeavours garnered them some serious popularity on campus, but they also led to some outrageous consequences. Once the administrators at Prairie View caught wind of their viral exploits, Megan, Kelsey, and Daren were called in to the college equivalent of the principal’s office to answer for their “crimes.”

When the girls entered the meeting, a screen slowly descended that was playing their videos, and Megan and her friends laughed together at the pure ridiculousness of the moment. “I was like, ‘God damn,” Megan recalls. “ I’m really in trouble [for] twerking right now!’ ” She also notes how “uppity” the ladies were who called them into the meeting. “They didn’t want us to wear shorts. It was f*cking summertime in f*cking Texas. But, you see her hips and her ass, you see why they don’t want us to wear no shorts.” These ladies went on to ask Megan and her pals, “Is this what you guys want to be known for on campus?” “In my head, I was like, ‘Yeah, we lit! What you mean?’'” Megan exclaims. The girls were required to write research papers in order for the school not to inform each of their parents about their activities. Who knew twerking could be lead to such disciplinary measures?
In the same piece, Megan also revealed that she hopes to drop her debut album, Suga, later this year on May 2nd, which is her late mother’s birthday.
