Doechii Gives Ayo Edebiri a Sensual Lap Dance at Camp Flog Gnaw—and the Internet Can’t Deal
In one of the most talked-about festival moments of the year, rapper Doechii sent the crowd—and social media—into meltdown when she gave Ayo Edebiri a surprise lap dance during her performance at Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival in Los Angeles. What began as a high-energy rendition of her 2022 hit “Crazy” quickly turned into a viral, meme-worthy queer pop culture event.
Ayo Edebiri Rolls Onstage—Literally
Fans were already buzzing when the Emmy-winning The Bear actress appeared unexpectedly onstage, seated in what looked like a school desk on wheels. As Ayo Edebiri was pushed into view, Doechii strutted toward her—then climbed atop the desk in full, commanding performance mode.
Videos from the festival show Edebiri trying to keep her cool as Doechii leaned in, danced over her, and gave the actress a sensual, theatrical lap dance that instantly lit up social platforms.
One viral comment summed up what many were thinking:
“Poor Ayo don’t even know what to do with allat.”
Others made playful references to Edebiri’s famous “simply too seated” meme, which resurfaced with a vengeance after the clip spread.

A Performance Packed with Queer Chemistry
This wasn’t a random shock stunt—Doechii and Ayo Edebiri’s onstage moment felt fun, flirty, and unmistakably queer. Fans noted their playful chemistry as Ayo Edebiri fanned herself while Doechii worked the desk, eventually leaning back into Edebiri’s lap.
As the song ended, the desk rolled both women backstage, prompting The Bear fans to flood timelines with the show’s iconic line:
“Thank you, chef.”
Doechii’s Big Year Continues
The electrifying moment capped off a major run for Doechii, who just wrapped her “Live from the Swamp” North American tour. Her mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal recently won Best Rap Album at the Grammys, while her hit “Anxiety” is nominated for five 2026 Grammys, including Record of the Year.
Camp Flog Gnaw itself made headlines for unrelated viral chaos—from Childish Gambino’s controversial “cancel cards” merch to the festival’s rain-out first weekend. But Doechii and Edebiri easily stole the spotlight.
Why This Moment Resonated
For many queer fans, the performance was pure joy—playful queer artistry on a mainstream stage between two beloved stars. Some writers even joked online that the moment felt like the opening scene of a queer romance novel waiting to be written.
Whether seen as performance art, queer flirtation, or just a hilarious crossover moment, one thing is undeniable: Doechii and Ayo Edebiri just delivered one of 2025’s most iconic pop culture clips.
