UCLA gymnast Nia Dennis went viral over the weekend after a video of her floor routine dancing and flipping to Kendrick Lamar and Tupac had everyone singing her praises.
Dennis was reposted in the name of “black excellence” as she performed a montage of hits from various artists including Kendrick Lamar’s “DNA” and Tupac’s “California Love.”
Dennis scored a 9.95 out of 10 for her routine, up from the 9.75 she scored last year with her Beyonce-inspired routine.
Dennis says her routine “reflects who she is as a woman” and pays homage to her father who came to college to pursue Greek life as well as her culture. The video spread quickly across the Internet with the help of celebrity accounts such as Oprah.
