More and more social media users around the world are joining the ‘KikiChallenge’, inspired by Canadian rapper Drake’s new track “In My Feelings,” and jumping out of moving cars to dance. No doubt, the challenge can be quite risky to perform and can led to hospital or jail.
It all started with a funny video posted by comedian and online personality Shiggy, in which he danced to the song in his own way,” without jumping out of a car on a busy road. The video starts off with the line,” “Keke, do you love me?”
Social media responded to the call, making it more challenging and adding a moving vehicle. The wave quickly got out of control, making the police and authorities warn people or even ban any attempts show off smooth dancing skills on the road.
The challenge did not leave Bollywood untouched. Actors like Adah Sharma and Nora Fatehi have shared their videos on social media. So much so, that the Mumbai police had to issue a warning.
Police from around the world, including in India, Spain, the US, Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates, have warned people that the dance challenge is dangerous and people caught trying it could face criminal charges.
In Dubai, police have warned against the trend, stating that those performing the challenge are committing serious traffic violations. Dangerous driving in the city involves a fine of Dh2,000 and 23 black points. The vehicle in question can also be impounded for 60 days.
Police in Spain have warned drivers against the dance, saying they could be charged if caught and Florida drivers were warned that jumping out of a moving car and dancing alongside it could see people hit with $1000 of fines as well as criminal charges under a violation of the traffic law.
The police in the US, however, don’t seem to mind and even filmed their own kiki clip.
