On Sunday (Aug. 5), the Puerto Rican urban singer shared a behind-the-scenes video of Oprah Winfrey jamming to his song during a summer photo shoot. Wearing a hat and cool sunnies, the renowned TV host and actress is seen smiling from ear-to-ear and shaking her shoulders to the beat of Yankee’s infectious track.

“Dura,” which was released in mid-January 2018, gave Yankee his ninth No. 1 on the Latin Airplay chart (dated March 17). The #DuraChallenge quickly became a viral sensation, where tons of people from all over the world shared their best moves to the song.
