Mary Halsey is a native of West Warwick, Rhode Island who has been rapping the 2002 Missy Elliott song “Work It” at karaoke for years. When she posted a video to Instagram of herself rapping the song in Goddard Park, it went mega-viral and caught the attention of Elliott herself!

“Wait I just found out I have a FUNKY WHITE SISTER,” Elliott wrote on Twitter after finding the clip. “but hold up she brought her homegirl to da cookout too. she the one tiptoeing in the background with a cup of oodles & noodles in her hand. She straight up killed ‘Work it’ with the yea yea yea at the beginning & the sound effects & all.”

“I thought I’d get a few hits, so I wrote, ‘Please share, I want to go viral,’ and it took off from there,” Halsey said. “I knew it would be big but I had no idea it would be this big.”

“I have always dreamed of going VIRAL!!” Halsey added on Facebook.
