Thrice Grammy Award-winning singer and Zaddy extraordinaire Maxwell reminded the people on social media that his knees were indeed still “good.”
On October 22, a Twitter user posted a video of the 49-year-old singer dropping it low while performing in an unknown location. The young woman had questions about Maxwell’s performance.
“Maxwell ain’t got a single song that calls for this,” she asked.

Black Twitter went up for the impromptu performance.
And @artfulkash doubled down on the viral tweet that there’s no song in the “Woman’s Work” singer’s repertoire that would require those moves.

Maxwell must’ve gotten wind of the now-viral tweet. On Tuesday, he posted a response about his agile knees and issued a hilarious warning on social media.
“Y’all wanna laugh, but your knees ain’t built like that. This the Maxwell Challenge. ”
