The internet is talking about Toni Braxton and Russell Westbrook, all thanks to a video the singer recently updated. The clip shared on social media featured Toni Braxton dancing to Too $hort’s Blow the Whistle. However, the singer didn’t just come up with the dance moves, as they were a reenactment of the chair dance Westbrook did earlier this year. Considering Braxton isn’t much of a dancer, the video sure left fans with many thoughts. Thankfully, the comments that trailed the clip were mostly hilarious and positive.
Toni Braxton Recreates a Viral Russell Westbrook Dance Video
In January 2024, the cameras captured Westbrook doing a casual chair dance on the court just before the start of a game. In the video, the NBA star moved his body and sang along to Too $hort’s Blow the Whistle, while some fans watched. The video went viral in no time, with fans praising Westbrook’s carefree and fun-loving attitude. However, no one expected Braxton to replicate the video a few months later. Taking to her Instagram page on Monday, Braxton, who has often shared her health struggles with fans, posted her own re-enactment of Westbrook’s dance moves.
Fans Applaud Toni Braxton and Russell Westbrook’s Dance Moves
Braxton placed the basketball player’s dance video and hers side by side in the clip. Dressed in a casual tracksuit and camo-colored cap, the 56-year-old showed fans she was up to the task. From forcefully nodding her head, vibing to the jam, to moving her shoulders and hands to singing along, every one of Braxton’s moves and gestures was a perfect replica of Westbrook’s. At the end of the video, the ageless beauty said, “I got it, it’s what I do, it’s what I do. I watch, I learn.” In the post’s caption, Braxton told fans she was ready for the NBA playoffs.
“Ready for the @nba PLAYOFFS…doing @russwest44’s #chairdance! Love me some @tooshort too! 😂.”
