The video dropped earlier this year with Cardi B and Mars dancing on a stage that looked very similar to the iconic stage from In Living Color. There’s even some Fly Girl-inspired dance choreography.
Stars of the show such as the Wayans, Shawn, Kim, Damon and Marlon showed some love for the video when it came out. They took to social media to share their excitement about the homage.
“What an amazing tribute to # In Living Color! Made me emotional. Thanks for the love, Bruno. I’m a big fan!” Kim Wayans posted on Twitter.
On Instagram, Marlon posted, “As an alumni of #inlivingcolor i must say this was doooope as f*ck.”
Maybe a meet-up at Tribeca will conjure up some talks about a comeback?
