CARDI B launched a twerking competition in a bid to recruit the 20 best dancers for her latest music video Twerk, which saw one winner crowned the best twerker and receive $25,000 (£19,400).
The 26-year-old joined forces with rap duo City Girls – made up of Yung Miami and JT – for the new release, which shows off their own impressive booty shaking moves.

Prior to filming the video the rappers invited hopefuls to send footage of them dancing in the hope of starring in the video and winning the prize money.
The duo whittled down the applicants to just 20 dancers, and those successful finalists were treated to an all expenses paid for holiday to film the video.
Speaking at the start of the video Yung Miami said: “On November 9th the City Girls sent out a challenge the to world the goal… to find the world’s greatest twerker. The $25k challenge is real. The top 20 winners will get flown out on an all expenses paid for. I need y’all to shake your ass.”

The clip features contestants twerking as a group, as well as their solo performances, and included the winning routine performed by Dancehall Queen Headtop Aneika – who is known as dhq_headtop on social media.
For the video Cardi – who gave birth to baby Kulture in July last year with Offset – stripped down to bra and thong with a tiger painted on her skin, while her hair was slicked back in two braids.
Yung Miami – also known as Caresha – showed off her slender frame with zebra print body art from her neck to her toes, while the second member of City Girls, JT, was absent from the video because she is currently in prison for fraud charges.
Cardi left little to the imagination as she twerked in the splits position on the beach, before she took to the pole to show off her impressive dancing ability.
The mother-of-one later changed into an embellished bra and knicker set, which featured a choker to show off her post-pregnancy body.

The artist also uploaded a separate still shot of her beside Yung Miami standing side by side, with the Bodak Yellow hitmaker showing off the intricate design of a tiger’s face on her back.
