‘Who Gone Tell Sis’: Fans Clown Tommie Lee for Mistaking Jamaican Song for an African One in New Dance Video

It’s fair to say Tommie Lee definitely had a clueless moment on social media over the weekend.

The former “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star showed off her dance moves over the weekend while jamming to the song “Toast” by reggae artist Koffee. She took to Instagram on Sunday, April 19 and posted a video of herself twerking and body rolling to the hit single.

Lee rocked a cropped top and curve-hugging pants. She energetically danced in front of the camera and proclaimed “Toast” one of her favorite songs at the moment. She wrote in her caption, “When you can’t dance fa sh-t but ya song come on 🤦🏾‍♀️😂 I wish I was raised in Africa so bad!!!”

The caption about wanting to be raised in Africa left fans scratching their heads, considering the song is a Jamaican tune.

“I wish I was raised in Africa took me out 😂😂😂😂 tommiee you a Gwan with a Likkle ting still. But this song is A JAMAICAN 🇯🇲Song..🙄😩”

“I know you thought it was a. African artiste and song, but it’s actually Jamaican🇯🇲”

“So who gone tell sis…”

“Except this is a Jamaican song and also an inspirational one 🙃🙃🙃. ANd What Africa got to do with you not having any rhythm?”

“Jamaica made that song boo lmfao. Shiiiit you was movin that thing tho”

Despite fans clowning Lee’s recent clueless moment, others were still swept off their feet by her looks.

On April 13, she posted a fashion photo that showed her dressed to the nines while posing with a brown puppy. Lee added in her caption, “Her Aesthetic Dope!”

Fans clamored over her fashion taste and beauty.

“I need that bra and shorts 😻😻. “

“Ooooh, look at her. She soo fineee @tommiee_ 😍 loving that outfit”

“Damn girl you make walking a dog look good 😍😘🔥”

“Getting thick 💯❤️. So fine and thickumsy 👅. She bad and she know it!”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — 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.
