Interview: How Master Chief Twerked With Megan Thee Stallion

thegamer.com:

Over the weekend, gaming Twitter was only talking about one thing: Megan Thee Stallion twerking with Master Chief at TwitchCon. Given the quality of the costume - and the fact that whoever was in it had some dance moves of their own - it was widely assumed to be a tie-in promotional event from Microsoft. But that was not the case at all. This was a grassroots endeavour, and one that only happened because of a very passionate crowd, and a guy rocking up to a party in full cosplay.

Cristoph Gehering, the owner of California-based business Sinister Propz, was that guy in the Master Chief suit. He reached out to me after I covered his impromptu performance on Saturday, and told me exactly how it all went down. “I was in the costume while at TwitchCon and just decided to head over to the after-party wearing it,” Gehering says, sharing snaps he got of himself all suited up. “Wearing the suit I already stood out in the crowd. Dance circles were forming which I participated in. People would cheer ‘Master Chief’ several times before the show.”

But the best was yet to come. As Gehering was enjoying all of the attention, Megan Thee Stallion took to the stage. “She played a few songs, and [then] took a break to call on any ‘Hotties’ in the crowd,” he says. “She started pulling up various people on stage. After 30 seconds of this, people around me started chanting ‘Master Chief, Master Chief’. Eventually, what felt like the entire stadium was chanting this.”

Unsurprisingly, this started turning heads. “Megan took notice and when she asked me to come up, I was about 50 feet from the stage. The crowd parted to let me take a very easy stroll to the front.” Likely respecting
