A video has gone viral wherein Breed is seen dancing in an indoor club without wearing the mask. The club was fairly crowded with the majority of people not following the mask mandate. Tony! Toni! Toné! members Raphael Saadiq and D’Wayne Wiggins were performing and Breed was busy flouting COVID rules and dancing to the tunes. When asked about violating the rule, Breed said, “I got up and started dancing because I was feeling the spirit and I wasn’t thinking about a mask.”
