Alyson lipsynced to the audio and put their own captions on the screen. Imitating questions they regularly get, Alyson wrote on the screen, “Do you still talk to Missy Elliott?”
In response to the question, Alyson wrote back, “Oh, I was 9. That was 23 years ago.”
Despite their response, the imaginary interviewer continued on with the same line of questioning. Alyson‘s captions on the video continued by asking why Alyson doesn’t just call the rapper.
“I was 9. We never hung out. It would’ve been inappropriate,” Alyson‘s captions continued. The questioning went for another round before the questions took a surprising twist when they asked if Alyson could get Missy to perform at their wedding.
Fans in the comments applauded Missy for keeping professional boundaries and joked about people forgetting that Alyson was just hired to be a dancer in the video.
