BET gathered some of today’s biggest musicians, actors, personalities, and entertainers (from their homes, of course) to participate in the fundraising variety special,
Saving Our Selves, and Wednesday night's broadcast also included some friendly competition. When DJ D-Nice had the spotlight, he called up both Ciara and Tiffany Haddish on video-chat for a remote dance battle. Ciara may be known for her killer moves, but Tiff is no slouch when it comes to getting down either. She was just a little concerned that Ciara might be at a disadvantage.“Ain’t she pregnant, though?” Tiffany interjected.“Listen, don’t worry about that, Tiffany,” Ciara said. “Let’s go!”
Tiffany was up first, and the comedian and actress danced, swayed, twerked and fist-pumped all over her living room floor as the familiar riffs of Ciara’s "Level Up" blasted out of the speakers. Okay, so she’s no Janet Jackson, but the gal’s got the right energy!“That was cute,” Ciara quipped, rubbing her pregnant belly before launching into a slick, smooth and seemingly-choreographed dance number to her tune. We should have known! Of course she had no problem dropping it like it’s hot, even whilst with child. She punctuated the dance with a little belly flash just to drive the point home—she’s dancing for two and making it look easy.“Don’t underestimate a pregnant woman, ya dig?” she waved to the camera right before D-Nice announced the winner... "Ciara's unborn baby!" That’s a fair call from the judges. For a bit of fun after the battle, the ladies danced around to Tiffany Haddish's new song (yes, Tiffany Haddish has
a new song), "Too Much."[video_embed id='1944272']RELATED: Missy Elliot wants us to ‘Cool Off’ with new video[/video_embed]The
