I’ll just let that sink in for a moment. The 67-year-old music icon’s perfectly eccentric performance was for Brooklyn’s Afropunk Festival, where she spent the evening completely slaying the crowd by dancing across the stage in headdresses, grass skirts and a skull mask before whipping it all off to reveal her painted birthday suit and proceeding to hula-hoop throughout the rest of her set. It’s not the first time she’s brought the hula-hoop out either. Back in 2012, she gyrated through “Slave to the Rhythm” at the Queens Diamond Jubilee concert (because if you’re going to do it anywhere, do it there). Luckily, somebody managed to capture her soon-to-be-iconic Afropunk moment on their phone. Watch the video below. Only Grace Jones could end a perfect set with a flawless rendition of Slave To The Rhythm... while hula hooping! pic.twitter.com/7Bq6eAoHZA— Okayafrica (@okayafrica) August 23, 2015Expand your creative community and connect with 15,000 creatives from around the world.READ MOREWhy listening parties are everywhere right nowA night out with Feng, the ‘positive punk’ of UK UgDoppel-gäng gäng gäng: 7 times artists used body doublesWesley Joseph is the Marty Supreme of R&B (only nicer) How Turnstile are reinventing hardcore for the internet ageWill these be the biggest musical moments of 2026?Rising singer Liim is the crooning voice of New York CityFrench producer Malibu is an ambient antidote for the chronically online10 musicians to watch in 202610 great albums you may have missed in the last three monthsZukovstheworld on the UK Ug scene: ‘It’s modern pop music’The only tracks you need to hear from December 2025
