Few women I know – or in general, I believe – would have this kind of composure in a situation as potentially embarrassing as this one. Momma Dee, star of VH1’s Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, had her fake tooth coming out of her mouth during a live performance just recently – and she handled it like a pro.

Momma Dee was performing at a club in Atlanta some days ago when this mishap befell her, but she barely bated an eyelash. Nay, she merely turned her back to the audience for a few seconds, enough to put the “flipper tooth” back in her mouth, and she continued with the performance.

This said, do you still wonder why the video of her mishap has gone viral? You can see it for yourself in the Vine below.

Momma Dee was performing “I Deserve” to a live audience, looking impeccably styled and dressed. She asked the audience “Can I get a witness?” in reply to something she had said before, which is when the tooth simply popped out of her mouth.

She caught it on the lower lip, turned away from the audience, put it back, and continued to perform as if nothing had happened. Mysteriously, the tooth didn’t cause any more problems for the rest of the gig, which you can see in full in the second video below.

Again, this kind of composure is the marking of a true star: Momma Dee wins the Internet. The Vine, by the way, is captivating to watch on repeat.
