‘But You Have An Actual Twin’: Tia Mowry Fans Laugh After She Holds TikTok Auditions for New Trend

Tia Mowry became a hot topic this week after posting another one of her TikTok videos.

Mowry has been showing how much of a cool mom she can be after using some of her free time to hop on a few of the new TikTok trends. One of the latest has to do with the song “Twinnem” by rapper Coi Leray.

The new single is marked as one of the popular songs on TikTok, and about 2 million videos have been created using the song. Most people are following the trend, which involves two people doing dance moves, some related to the lyrics, some not. Mowry did her own demonstration of the trend.

At first, many were excited to see Mowry participate in the trend especially because they know she has a twin sister, Tamera Mowry, with whom she had a hit show called “Sister, Sister.” Mowry did the typical dance moves throughout the video but her twin sister never popped up next to her. In the caption, Mowry gave the opportunity for fans to duet the video and do the dance next to her.

She wrote, “Wanna be my #twin? ! Duet me! I might just share some of my favorites on my IG Story 😉 #twinnem #sistersister.” By TikTok’s definition, to duet is a feature on that app that will “allow you to build on another user’s video on TikTok by recording your own video alongside the original as it plays.”

Fans cracked up at the video and the caption, with many feeling the need to remind Mowry that she has a twin already. “Does Tamera know you’re holding twin replacement auditions on TikTok,” joked one person in the comments. “But you have an actual twin,” said another.

Some thought Tamera might have actually been in the video but that they just dressed alike to trick their fans. “I’m over here trying to figure out if her twin was actually in the video or not,” said a fan.

Plenty said they were waiting for Tamera to come in and surprise them. Somebody said, “Not me waiting for your sister to walk in the frame lmaooo.”

While Tamera did not participate, and probably won’t since she doesn’t have a TikTok, a few fans did take Tia up on her offer to duet the video.

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.
