Lil’ Kim Dance Moves Help Woman With ‘Duckin’ And ‘Dodgin’ Bullets During Apartment Shooting
A resident at Westgate Village Apartments in Dothan, Alabama, said she survived last week's shooting in the complex by "doing Lil' Kim."
On April 26, another shooting took place at the Dothan complex, following the first shooting incident that injured a sleeping woman on the west side of Dothan on April 4. One of the residents, Shariah Taylor, was interviewed by WTVY about her experience following the latest incident.
Taylor said she was walking to the car with her baby when the shooting took place, and she survived it by doing Lil' Kim's dance moves that seemingly mimic dodging bullets.
"I hear pop, pop, pop, about seven rounds. So I'm dodging, I'm ducking, I'm dodging, I'm ducking, I'm dodging, doing Lil' Kim," she said, demonstrating the rapper's iconic dance moves.
"I'm trying to get my baby in the car. Then I threw my baby in the backseat, and we just sped off."

She also left a message for her family and neighbors in the complex, saying, "If you stay in Westgate Village, stay in your house. That's all I've got to say."
Meanwhile, to assure their residents, Lieutenant Scott Owens, the Dothan Police's Public Information Officer, said that their "patrol officers are going to more heavily saturate that area in the coming weeks" and be as proactive as possible.
While the interview was serious, netizens could not help but comment on Taylor's responses to the interviewer.
"I'm glad she and the baby [were] OK, but I'm so weak, her interview was legendary," commented one netizen on the video posted on WTVY News 4's YouTube channel.
"Why [is] she [standing] like a battle rapper from the 80s?" quipped someone else.
"She's my SHERO!" wrote a different commenter.
Instagram account @theshaderoom also posted about the Alabama woman on their page and shared some funny netizen reactions to their over 29.2 million followers. The interview ended up getting more reactions.
"LMAO. She folded her arms at the end, standing on every word she said," commented one Instagram user.
"Black people are just so effortlessly funny. I love us," wrote another person.
"I wish I knew her in real life," joked a different netizen.
Taylor was referring to the rapper's pop-and-lock bob-and-weave in the 1999 remix of "Quiet Storm" when she talked about the dance moves that saved her and her baby during the shooting incident.
The routine, popularly known as the "Lil' Kim Dance," features dodging and docking steps that simulate dodging bullets.
It has long been used in memes and GIFs. After Taylor's WTVY interview, the move resurfaced again online.
