WATCH: NYPD Officer Dances the Whip/Nae Nae at Bed-Stuy Block Party
"The officer and his partner took some time to enjoy a block party and get to know those they serve," says the NYPD.
NYPD Officer James Ferrazzo of the 79th Precinct has gone viral for busting a Georgia-born move called the Whip/Nae Nae at one of Bed-Stuy’s famous summer block parties.
Bed-Stuy resident Daiyana Gordon posted a video of the dance party to YouTube on Sunday, July 26.
By the following Sunday evening, the video had been viewed nearly 150,000 times.
The NYPD says in a statement that Ferrazzo and his partner were taking “some time to enjoy a block party and get to know those they serve. The officers connected with kids as they threw a football and enjoyed some good food and conversation.”Gordon tells the Daily News:
“It was a great way of him showing the kids and the community that he is a regular person especially with all the negative publicity police officers have been getting. Police Officer James Ferrazzo and his partner were awesome the entire day. They threw footballs with the kids and shared in the festivities. We need them in our communities. We need young people to admire and look up to them, not fear them.”
The Whip/Nae Nae is a combination of the Whip, a dance in which one mimics the motion of driving a car, and the Nae Nae, a dance in which one mimics Shanae’nae, a ditzy character played by Martin Lawrence (in drag) on his sitcom, “Martin.”
And Silentó, a teen rapper from Conyers, Georgia, can be credited with combining the two moves on his hit track ”Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae).”
