‘Strong Knee Gang’: Ciara and Megan Thee Stallion Show Off Their Twerk Skills in Booty Bouncing Video

Singer Ciara and rap star Megan Thee Stallion left their fans mesmerized after they linked up on Friday night for an epic twerk session.

The true “hot girls” shared a behind-the-scenes video of their booty popping skills at the American Music Awards, which aired on Sunday, Nov. 24. Ten years Megan’s senior, a 34-year-old Ciara rocked a sexy silver gown with a high slit and proved she was a part of the “strong knees” clique just like the “Big Ole Freak” rapper.

Both ladies strutted their long legs on the show’s back lot, took four steps towards the camera, dropped it low and showed off their “twerk-off” skills to Ciara’s new single “Melanin,” which features the City GirlsLupita Nyong’oLa La Anthony and Ester Dean. Megan captioned the video, “Team long legs 🤑,” and the “Promise” singer added, “Linked up with my Melanin Queen @TheeStallion #Melanin Paahpin! #StrongKneeGame.”

Not only was Ciara trending on social media over the weekend for her impressive twerk skills, she also captured fans’ attention with her countless outfit changes at the 2019 AMAs that she happened to host Sunday night.

“This is a girl’s dream,” the “1, 2 Step” performer told E News. “I get to change outfits. There is at least five changes. It’s not too crazy, but it’s the right amount. There are going to be so many performers that night, so we have to make it all happen! I get to squeeze in some really cool moments of fashion that I’m excited about.”

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.
