Tommy The Clown is someone who is a legend in Los Angeles. Overall, he has been a positive influence on the youth of the city. In the 90s, the dancer became known for performing at parties. He subsequently founded the dance style “clowning” and even jumpstarted the “hip-hop clowns” movement. To this day, Tommy The Clown has his very own academy where he teaches the youth how to dance. He hosts Battle Zone events where competing dance crews get to battle one another. It’s been a staple in the city, and on Wednesday night, the man got his flowers.
It all started when Tommy The Clown came out on stage during Kendrick Lamar’s “The Pop Out” show. He came out with two competing dance crews and it was a whole lot of fun. Unfortunately, there were some people on social media who were disrespectful to the Los Angeles legend. Some were saying “who’s this” while others acted with disinterest and mockery. However, there were a lot more people paying homage to Tommy The Clown and his impact on culture.
