‘Shakinah Wat U Doin’: Tiny Harris Slays ‘Savage’ Challenge, While Fans Clown Her Friend Shekinah

It looks like Tiny Harris and her bestie Shekinah Jo Anderson are the latest duo to join in on Megan Thee Stallion “Savage” challenge.

The two ladies showed off their dance moves this week while attempting the new TikTok craze, but it seems all didn’t go as planned. Harris took to Instagram on Friday, April 3, and posted a video that showed her and Anderson recording their challenge outside on a patio.

Harris sported a navy blue lounge set speckled with stars, while Anderson rocked a blue floral joggers set. As soon as the “Savage” song blasted on their video, the Xscape singer seemed to hit all the moves accordingly, but Anderson apparently missed a few steps.

The mother of four wrote in her caption, “So me & @thatshekinah had to try this #SavageChallenge clearly we needed more practice but πŸ–•πŸΌ follow our new Youtube #TheTinyJoShow part #2 of our first show is up! Tiny #Shekinah #TheTinyJoShow #Talkshow #Podcast #Savage #Atl.”

Fans in Harris’ comments section applauded her sharp steps while clowning Anderson’s.

“So we see who the natural dancer is among the two, Tiny is so talented 😍”

“Shakinah wat u doin bk there u couldve let tiny do this one dolol πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚”

“U got it bby its Shekinahhhh that need some practice 🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣”

“Y’all did good even though shekinah made up her own dance 🀣❀ You hit that bih πŸ˜πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚”

“U knew u was cute Shekinah is not moving a damn thing ‼️ not even a wiggle in her toe β€ΌοΈβ€ΌοΈβ€ΌοΈπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚β€οΈ why u do her like that πŸ˜‚”

“Shekinah the one that need practice lol she messed u up πŸ˜‚”

Harris announced via Instagram on Friday morning that she and Anderson were partnering up again for their own show on YouTube.

“So guys we finally did it!!” the “Understanding” singer wrote. “The Tiny Jo Show make sure u go subscribe to our YouTube channel if u want some good laughs!! P.s we really quarantining over here! Pajamas & no makeup fr!! Just so our day ones can see our glow up..cause it’s coming!! thx to all who have already!! 😘 πŸ™πŸ½πŸ‘‘”

The two besties had their own reality TV series together on VH1 in 2014 titled “Tiny and Shekinah’s Weave Trip,” but it was eventually canceled. Anderson also appeared on the earlier season of “T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle,” before their huge falling-out in 2017. The two eventually reconnected last February and have been friends ever since.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual β€” and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
