Over the weekend, the Internet went wild after footage 90s R&B sensation Mya performing at strip club G5IVE in Miami, Florida surfaced on social media. In clips that have been uploaded to Instagram, the 35-year-old gyrated across a stage speckled with dollar bills as she sang “Moving On.” Naturally, everyone and their mama had something to say about the Grammy Award-winning songbird booking an engagement at a strip club–including Bow Wow, who clowned her in a series of Facebook posts.
“Mya is a stripper now? If not who advised that it was smart to perform and dance on the stripper stage,” he joked.
He then went on to say that if times were hard enough for her to resort to such shenanigans, she could’ve just borrowed the money.
“I can’t stop laughing at the video my homie sent me of Mya on the stripper stage dancing. I’m like why though? Haha Hell she coulda borrowed that 1500 performance fee from the local D boy if it was that serious.”
“Basketball Wives LA” star Brooke Bailey also chimed in.
“She looks so dumb,” the reality star wrote beneath one performance clip.
According to NecoleBitchie, Mya eventually addressed her critics, saying:
“I am whatever I choose to be when I choose to be it. The joy of life. Live it. Been doin’ strip clubs, LGBT clubs, dance clubs, straight clubs, concerts, festivals since 1998 to date. I love all my fans and it don’t stop. Instagram generation is late as hell.”
