“I freestyle, especially when I’m drunk, all the time,” Moore tells EW.
Moore has been rapping, singing, performing, and just plain hustling for years.
“When we were recording the episode, I was like, ‘Kev, give me a beat.’

And I started freestyling,” Moore recalls.
“And unlike usual, this freestyle actually ended up good.
I stuck the landing.

Usually, I might come out the gates real strong, but then things go off track.
I’m making up words that don’t make any sense.”
So Moore knows a thing or two about how the internet works.

Sure enough, producing partners Casa Di (a.k.a.
“That’s what I think half the time.
It’s such a shame.”

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You’ve been creating content since 2009.
How does it feel to have a hit with this now?
That Chick Angel:You know what?
One, I consider it a blessing.
Because the age that I am, it’s easier for me to make good decisions.
I’m not thirsty or hungry for it.
Everything seemed arbitrary before.
But it feels like it all culminated for this.
May I ask, how old are you?
You didn’t know!
You had no idea, did you?!
A proud 43-year-old woman.
[Laughs]
So how did you get Saucy Santana on the remix?
So we went with Giant Music.
His energy is amazing.
He’s super funny.
And that’s what the song is.
It’s a song with amazing energy, but it’s also hysterical.
It’s what the summer is."
Truly, his energy was perfect for it.
Tell me your margarita preferences.
What are your favorite flavors?
Do you prefer them on the rocks or frozen?
I do not like salt on my margaritas.
So if I’m going to have something, it’s going to be sugar.
And I like interesting fruit combinations.
[Motions to her drink] This prickly pear is okay.
I usually like it a little bit sweeter.
I don’t need it to be too tart.
Or I’ll do a mango.
Anything that makes me feel like I’m on an island, I’m on vacation.

So how did Cindy Crawford get involved in the music video?
Listen, I feel like Jesus and all of his angels had to make that happen.
And Cindy Crawford’s husband [Rande Gerber] is one of the owners of Casamigos.
So Casamigos loved the song, and then they pitched it to Cindy.
She thought the song was hilarious.
I tell you, she was such a good sport, willing to go with the comedic moment.
Because I know a lot of her fans were like, “Who hip-checked Cindy Crawford?!
That was unnecessary!”
Cindy Crawford told me to hit herharder.I was like, “Ma’am?”
She was like, “Angel, I got to have something to react to.
Really bump into me.”
I wanted to be like, “You know I got about 100 pounds on you easy easy?”
Everybody was like, “Oh, was that a stunt double?”
No, I knocked the s— out of Cindy Crawford!
I hip-checked the s— out of her, but she took that thing like a champ.
How do your kids feel about the song?
Because they’re of an age where it’s part of their lives now.
And he was like, “Yes.”
They were like, “FaceTime her.
We want to meet.”
And I don’t think it weirds him out.
I think he’s actually happy for me.
Do you plan to go back to acting at all?
I want to do it all.
I used to abide by these rules of what an actor had to look like.
And I remember even when I started content-creating, I wanted to keep them very separate.
I’m done with that.
I realized that everything plays hand in hand.
And Angel is a woman that can do multiple things.
Angel is a woman that can create really funny, relatable content.
Angel is a woman that can write raunchy raps that make you want to twerk.
And I don’t think any of them have to be at the mercy of the other thing.
I feel like I can do all those things.
Once the strike is over, absolutely, I plan on going back to acting.

So has life changed dramatically since the song hit?
Yes, I’ve had to learn about the music industry.
I knew nothing, other than the horror stories.
And I was like, “Oh, God, what does that even mean?”
So I’ve been on a very steep learning curve.
And a lot more people are more verbal about knowing me.
I’m like, “Oh, okay.
I ain’t got it on me, but I’ll twerk for you real quick.”
How are you trying to capitalize on this success?
So that’s what I’m doing.
I am not a spring chicken.
This industry is for the young.
I’m saying yes.
They’re like, “Can you…?”
“Yep, I can.
Let’s go.”
And do you have plans for the next stage?
Listen, we remixing this song more than there are flavors of margaritas.
There’s another remix coming out.
Because one thing about margaritas, outside of them not being for people underage: They’re pretty universal.
My big question is: After five margaritas, what happens?
After five, it’s your business, not mine.
Fourth margarita might just be a repeat back to number two.
You know what I’m saying?
We might not make it to the actual four in the song.
you’re able to remix it yourself.
