‘Let Me See You Stomp, Stomp, Stomp’: Angela Simmons’ ‘Walk’ Challenge Goes Left After She’s Critiqued for Being Too ‘Aggressive’ with Her Strut

Angela Simmons‘ “Walk” challenge performance was met with mixed reactions by fans on Jan. 17 after the “Growing Up Hip Hop” star uploaded a video putting her own spin on the TikTok phenomenon. The challenge involves a person strutting to the beat of Saucy Santana’s 2020 hit song “Walk.” 

The mother of one strode toward the camera while wearing an all-black outfit, including a feathered jacket, shorts, and high-heeled boots. Simmons captioned the post “Walk Walk Walk. LOL.” Some fans raved over the star’s moves, while others felt something was amiss because they deemed Simmons’ walk a bit awkward.

“Yesss! Ang did not come to play!”

“So aggressive with the walk.. but you still look good 🤗”

“Let me see you stomp stomp stomp stomp 🤣😂 i love you boo but you were definitely stomping.”

“Ummm I like you Angela but you walking a little too rough and fast 😂😂.”

One fan offered the reality star advice on how to improve the challenge. “Too much neck movements through your balance off now please do it again and look straight forward giving us face, legs, and fierce attitude with the curves.”

Hours before the initial video, Simmons shared a series of photos showcasing her black ensemble in several would-be seductive poses, including one where the 33-year-old places a hand on one hip as she glares into the camera. Simmons, who apparently had money on her mind, captioned the upload “In my own bag ✨.”

Several fans practically worshipped the reality star’s new outfit, including one who wrote how God broke the mold with Simmons. “A 1 of Kind Original 😍😍 #godbrokethemoldwhenhemadeyou.”

Another said, “Ms. Simmons you #SupaBadd…. Keep killin em!”

“You are stunning as always.”

An Instagram user mentioned Simmons left them breathless. “I hope you know CPR, because you just took my breath away!”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
