‘Ninja Turtle Legs’: Fans Come for Reginae Carter Legs In Her TikTok Video

Reginae Carter appears to be bored due to the fact that she has been cooped up in her house for the past few days. The former “Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta” cast member uploaded a video of her dancing in her grey-colored living room to the self-quarantine TikTok song “Bored in my House.” Social media users seemingly thought her dance was funny and teased the reality star for her not-so-strong knees as she was winding her body down to the ground in her dance.

Carter draped her body in a long-sleeve pink pajama short romper and pulled her braided tresses into a high ponytail. The model participated in the “Bored in my House” TikTok dance challenge by shaking her derriere to the ground in addition to doing the “heel toe dance.” Her video left her millions of followers in tears and they posted their reactions on social media.

“Ninja turtle legs,” commented a user.

“Lmfao I’m crinnn at the heel toe 😂😂😂,” wrote a second fan.

A third user said, “Not the heel toe.”

“If she don’t take that childish ass body somewhere else,” a fourth commented.

“Shake it girl! And the heel toe😂. Your legs are so short! How are they that strong?,”a fifth asked.

“Girl plz go sit down somewhere 🙄,” a sixth user begged.

The “Bored in my House” song was created by TikTok user Curtis Roach. Roach was apparently bored of sitting in his house amidst the pandemic and came up with the rap lyrics, “I’m bored in the house, and I’m in the house bored.”

According to Dailydot.com, his song gained thousands of likes and resulted in 18,400 new TikTok videos being created around the country. The premise of the challenge is for people to showcase what they are doing while they are bored in their house. Many social media users danced to the song while others posted videos that show them working out to the beat. In addition, Carter influenced her mother Toya Johnson to take on the challenge. Johnson commented on her Instagram post by saying, “I need to do this one lol.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
