It appears that amid R. Kelly‘s ongoing trial troubles, one of his songs is taking TikTok by storm with a new trend.
Social media users are noticing an uptick in creators making videos with a certain Robert Kelly tune in the past several months, with a song that describes the singer making a woman’s legs “shake.”

In 2013, the musician released “Legs Shakin’” with Ludacris, featured on his third-to-last album, Black Panties.
While the song may be a little dated, the TikTok sound, which reappeared earlier this summer as a line dance, is now trending with its own TikTok dance. A few folks took to Twitter to express their feelings about the new trend.
