As it is written, so it must be done, and there’s a whole lot of shakin’ going on in The City Girls‘ video, “Twerk.”
The video for the Cardi-B-assisted track features some of the finest twerkers the world has to offer, who were encouraged to show off their skills for a contest last year. The winner would receive $50,000. Not only did the winner get “flewed out,” the woman with the best skills was highlighted at the end of the visual.
Elsewhere in the video, Yung Miami and Cardi are painted in head-to-toe jungle body paint (Miami as a zebra, and Cardi as a tiger), and are seen on the beach and on a yacht shakin’ it with the best of them. They lead the group of dancers through various scenes- all of which do not feature the presence of a man- so they can live their best bootylicious lives in peace and reclaim their sexuality. During JT’s verse, the group dances in front of a mural of the incarcerated MC.
The song itself has been streamed over 215 million times, and is featured on the duo’s album, Girl Code. The Floridians gained national exposure after being featured on Drake’s “In My Feelings,” however, hey’ve proven to be standalone entities in their own right.
