On Friday 21 July, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss posted a video of herself attempting to do Tyler ICU’s Mnike dance challenge.Since its introduction into mainstream media, Amapiano has taken South Africa and the world by storm. So much so that many people across the world have taken an interest in the South African genre.

Kandi Burruss who is also an award winning singer, songwriter and producer becomes the latest artist to jump on the Amapiano bandwagon. During a dance session the singer together with professional dancer Anthony Marquis attempted to do the viral Mnike dance challenge that has been trending on Tik Tok.

In the first clip Kandi and Anthony explain that they are about to do the Mnike Challenge.

“So Anthony is about to try to attempt to teach me the M-Nike challenge”, Kandi says.

Anthony then proceeds to teach Kandi the steps to the challenge. Now they may have aced the choreography, but the duo completely messed up the pronunciation of the challenge title. South Africans wasted no time to the comment section of Kandi’s post to correct the reality tv star’s friend how to correctly pronounce Mnike.

After much trial-and-error Kandi finally posted another video detailing the end result, where the artist nailed the entire dance challenge.

“Ok! I think practicing with Anthony helped me get a little better! What do you think?”, Kandi shared leaving many South African’s impressed.

A few days ago American rapper, Wiz Khalifa was also seen listening to and singing along to Tyler ICU’s Mnike.
