Rapper Saweetie went viral on the internet and not for her rapping skills. A video of the 28-year-old twerking or attempting to– caught the attention of Black Twitter, and the jokes ensued.
Earlier this month, one Twitter user posted a video of the “Icy Girl” rapper struggle twerking during a performance, writing, “I can’t keep defending Saweetie anymore.”

The poor girl may have been tired or having a bad day, but the footage of her frantic donkey kicks with her hands on the floor had Black Twitter in stitches.
One Twitter user added heel-clacking sound effects to the video to up the hilarity of the dancing rapper.
