At the age of 5, Chanel, the only daughter of celebrities Ice-T and Coco Austin, has made some people laugh and caused a fiery debate over a viral video.
The clip features little Chanel enjoying some family time with her grandmother, Tina Austin, and teaching her to twerk.
Ice-T and Coco Austin’s daughter, Chanel Nicole, becomes a twerking instructor for her granny, drama ensues
It has been a complicated few months for Coco Austin whose father, Steve Austin, spent almost two months in the hospital while battling COVID-19, according to a statement issued by the Law & Order: SVU star.
The man is now “on Oxygen indefinitely” after contracting the novel virus.
After her father’s major health scare, Coco Austin decided to have her entire family over to celebrate Thanksgiving Day properly.
Taking to social media, Coco Austin shared a video where her daughter decided to take the role of a dance instructor to teach her granny how to twerk.
Using no music, Chanel Nicole and her young cousin showed their grandmother how it is done. Despite her young age, she knew how to bend her little knees and stick her behind up in the air.
The wife of the legendary rapper, who was filming the scene, asked her daughter: “Wait, what are you guys doing exactly?”
Chanel happily responded by: “Twerking!” Coco Austin added: “You’re teaching mom how to twerk?”
Coco’s mother, who was having difficulty landing the moves, asked for further instructions and examples, and she got more than she had bargained for.
The grandmother asked: “But what are you doing? Do I do squats, or what are you doing with your butt?”
Chanel Nicole quickly placed her hands down and dropped to the floor, and continued to shake her backside for a more explicit demonstration for her grandmother.
At this point, the Angel Blade actress, who was a bit surprised by what she was seeing, said: “Oh my god. This is what you do when family’s over. Oh my gosh.”
Coco’s sister, Kristy Austin, also appears in the video; she stands behind the tiny dancers and giggles at the surprising dance moves.
The video rapidly went viral and sparked an intense debate.
Some saw the dance moves as inappropriate, while others said the family was having fun and let them be.
Ice-T and Coco Austin’s daughter creates controversy with yoga photo
This is not the first time Coco has caused controversies with a video or a photo. Last week, Coco Austin was criticized for another parenting decision — she is teaching yoga to Chanel.
She shared a photo of herself teaching the child how to do an upside-down split. Many were baffled by Chanel’s tight yoga outfit and her high-heeled shoes.
The caption for the post read: “I teach Chanel working out and staying healthy. I also tell her if she has flexibility now she’ll have it forever. I can vouch for that.. and it’s is a lifestyle. There’s no work at it, and it’s just what you do everyday.”
Ice-T and Coco Austin believe in breastfeeding Chanel
The media personality recently revealed her decision to still breastfeed Chanel. The influencer said that her daughter “still likes my boobs,” and nursing is “a big bonding moment for a mother and your child” and that she eats other foods too.
Many social users slammed her for the revelation, prompting Ice-T to defend his wife.
Ice-T addressed the situation with a Twitter message that stated: “News Flash! We feed Chanel FOOD… She just likes to suck mom’s boob every now and then… Me Too!!!”
He concluded by: “Why the F are you worried about MY child??? That’s what’s weird. Now go back in the basement.”
The power couple has never been conventional.
