“Lord, more auto-tune and hip-hop” – Fans react hilariously as Danielle of NJZ performs ‘No Scrubs’ by TLC at ComplexCon

ComplexCon always promises a mix of culture, music, and viral moments, but no one was quite prepared for the internet storm that followed Danielle of NJZ’s performance. The rising artist took the stage to cover TLC’s iconic No Scrubs, and let’s just say fans had thoughts.

From the moment she hit the first note (or let the auto-tune hit it for her), the audience was locked in. But was it for the right reasons? While some fans were vibing, others were side-eyeing the mic stand wondering if it was just there for decoration. Then came the flood of reactions online, proving once again that the internet never holds back.

Danielle of NJZ’s No Scrubs Performance Breaks the Internet

The performance itself had all the makings of a viral moment. A classic 90s hit? Check. A trendy, auto-tuned rendition? Double check. A mic that might’ve been more of a fashion statement than a functional tool? Oh, absolutely.

As clips of Danielle’s set started circulating, social media lit up with a mix of praise, criticism, and straight-up confusion. Some fans felt she brought a fresh, modern twist to the song, while others were convinced they were witnessing a masterclass in lip-syncing. The biggest debate? Whether she was actually singing or if the mic was just there for emotional support.

And then, of course, came the jokes.

A fan commented:

"Lord, more auto-tune and hip-hop."

Because clearly, if we’re going for this vibe, we might as well crank it up to 100. At this point, why stop at auto-tune? Let’s get the whole AI-powered concert experience.

Another user bluntly asked:

"Why is she holding that mic if she are not using it?"

To be fair, the mic was there it just wasn’t exactly working overtime. More like... taking a paid vacation.

One viewer wasn’t having it at all:

"Trash."

Short, simple, straight to the point like a tweet that doesn’t waste characters on feelings.

Another fan said:

"She forgot that she had the mic and she have to sing with it 😭"

Another fan took a moment to appreciate the irony:

"Mic was just an accessory."

Look, sometimes accessories make the outfit. In this case, the mic made the meme.

Of course, not everyone was roasting. Some fans actually enjoyed the performance, with one user excitedly posting:

"Oh she ate!"

Which, in internet terms, means she absolutely nailed it. But given the mixed reactions, let’s just say opinions on the meal were divided.

And then there was this gem from @AvaTlovenotes:

"Danielle said No Scrubs and meant it… if you’re hanging out the passenger side, keep it moving!"

Say what you want about the performance, but at least she stayed on theme.

At the end of the day, whether you loved it, hated it, or were just entertained by the commentary, Danielle of NJZ’s No Scrubs performance did exactly what it needed to do get people talking. Some artists go viral for their vocals, others for their stage presence, and sometimes, it’s just about the fact that the internet refuses to let anything slide.

Either way, Danielle gave us a moment. And maybe, just maybe, she gave that mic a well-deserved break.
