Tommy the Clown addressed Tight Eyez’s assertion that he is the sole inventor of krump dancing. Tommy firmly disputed this, stating that Tight Eyez “created nothing” and was rather a part of the evolving krump scene that originated from clowning, a dance style Tommy helped pioneer. He explained that krump developed as a natural evolution of his original movement, with Tight Eyez and others contributing but not inventing it. Tommy emphasized the collaborative nature of the dance, recalling how Tight Eyez danced with his crew and benefited from their platform. Despite past splits within their group, Tommy urges respect among dancers to build longevity in the culture. Besides defending krump’s origins, Tommy also highlighted his extensive work—entertaining celebrities like Snoop Dogg and Pamela Anderson—and cultivating new talent through his clowning crews.
