LisaRaye Opens Up About Viral ‘Spend Dat’ Dance: “I Don’t Believe in the Lyrics”

LisaRaye is getting real about her viral moment. During a candid chat with Carlos King on Reality with the King, the actress addressed the internet frenzy over her dancing to Yung Miami’s “Spend Dat” challenge. She admitted she’s conflicted, she doesn’t believe in the lyrics, but she gets the assignment when it comes to having fun.

The video, which featured LisaRaye looking stunning in a white bathing suit and sheer wrap skirt on what appeared to be a vacation getaway, quickly broke the internet. Fans flooded the comments with heart eyes, fire emojis, and plenty of Players Club references. Even Yung Miami herself slid into the comments with an enthusiastic “Yesssss!!!! I’m living!!!!” 

But LisaRaye isn’t about to cosign the message behind the track. She made it clear during the interview that while she’s happy to catch a vibe, she doesn’t align with the lyrics’ content. Her take? You can have fun without being tied to the words. It’s a refreshingly honest perspective from a woman who’s been in the game long enough to know the difference between entertainment and endorsement.

The “Spend Dat” challenge has become one of the summer’s biggest viral moments, with everyone from Raven-Symoné to Rick Ross joining in . But LisaRaye’s version stood out because of her effortless confidence. At nearly 60, she’s still stepping on necks and reminding everyone why she’s been that girl for decades.
