‘That Child Has No Rhythm’: Angela Simmons’ Dance Video Has Fans Praising Her Attempt 

“Growing Up Hip-Hop” star Angela Simmons shared a video of herself dancing to “One Leg” by Jay Hover on a big rock, and fans couldn’t help but to take note of her dancing skills. The reality TV star posted the video on Instagram on April 28.  

Simmons rocked a bikini as she danced barefoot to the Hover hit. The 34-year-old captioned the post, “That rock had my foot stuck like chuck lol #StiffBoots wasn’t bout to sprang my ankle playin on that rock.”

After The Shade Room shared the video on Instagram and asked readers if Simmons “killed it,” the reality television star herself responded and said that she didn’t kill it.  

“OHKAY! #AngelaSimmons is outchea showing off her dance moves! Did she kill it #Roomies?”  

“Lol nope! I didn’t kill it,” Simmons replied, followed by a laughing-crying emoji. “I was being foolish lmao. but it was fun.” 

Fans also responded to the “One Leg” video. “That’s why we love you cause you are so humble,” wrote one Instagram user. “It’s the comfort in her own skin for me,” said another.  

Another fan disagreed with Simmons when she said she didn’t kill it. “You killed it cause you out here living… in joy,” that person wrote.  

“Natural bodies for the win,” noted one user, prompting another fan to reply, “The dance ain’t it but the body is!!!” along with several fire emojis.

Others shared their opinions of Simmons’ rhythm and dance skills in the comments.  

“You can’t dance but I still love you,” wrote one Instagram user.  

“That child has no rhythm and I love it.., she’s enjoying life lol,” said one fan. “She’s so cute. She knows she can’t dance but she’s still a vibe,” added another. 

Still independent.

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.
