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.
