In My Feelings challenge, rapper Drake-inspired dance craze, arrives in Hong Kong, sparking safety worries
Thousands worldwide have taken challenge to the extreme by recording themselves jumping from moving cars and busting their moves as vehicle travels down the road – sometimes even the drivers
A viral yet controversial dance challenge inspired by a hit song from Canadian rapper Drake has begun catching on in Hong Kong, with local videos showing daredevils jumping from slow-moving cars and strutting their stuff on the street before hopping back in.
A growing number of social media users around the world have been posting clips of their response to the In My Feelings challenge, also known as the Kiki challenge, which asks people to dance to part of Drake’s song.
But the innocent exercise has become dangerous after thousands took to recording themselves jumping from moving cars and boogieing as their vehicle travelled down the road – sometimes even the drivers.
The dance was pioneered by online personality Shiggy, who posted a video of himself dancing to the song in a street. His clip went viral, spurring a spate of celebrity imitations from the likes of Will Smith, Odell Beckham Jnr, Ciara, and DJ Khaled.
