‘Hit ’Em With the Stiff Twerk’: Draya Michele’s Fans Are In Stitches After Watching Her Act Up with Her Girls

Fans and followers of Draya Michele are in tears from laughter after seeing the entrepreneur and her girls serve up their best ‘Who’s Next’ dance challenge.

The latest dance craze has blown up on TikTok with more and more people learning of its “Hip Hop Harry” origins. The dance clips are a welcome surprise considering that until this week the last time fans saw Michele bust a move was during Diddy’s Instagram live on Easter.

This time her girls YZ and Reen joined in as backups, which only added to the hilarity of the clips.

“lol y’all play toooo muchhhh” and “It’s the head bobbing LMAO” wrote some after watching the trio head nod and leg twerk on a boat during their jaunt to Big Bear Lake in Southern California.

“Now this my kinda turn up!!”

“Lmfaooooo this is funny as hell”

“Hit em with the stiff twerk!! That’s my jam😂🙌🏾,” wrote another person.

Michele’s friends each had eyes on them as they gave the dance their best efforts..

“So you’re just gonna act like your friend wasn’t about to fall at the end of the first clip”

“Please confirm that YZ did not end up in the water on that first one 😂”

“I’m sis with the braids!! Hella cute just goin along wit it knownin d-mn well we don’t have rhythm!!”

Michele’s friend YZ later made it clear that she did not fall, but it was a close one.

Aside from giving her followers a reason to laugh on social, Michele recently sent them back down memory lane with a childhood throwback.

The swimwear designer posted a photo of herself in a floral print dress at church with her young cousins, and the shot made it undeniably clear that her younger son Jru has her entire face.

“Your son is legit your twin lol 💙”

“Looking like your youngest Jru or he looking like you”

“Your son def looks like you”

Michele shares her younger son with former fiancé Orlando Scandrick. The duo ended their relationship of nearly three years at the end of 2019.

The ABS Newsletter — Stories that matter, in your inbox.

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.
