Egyptian 'Kiki Challenge' Dancers Facing Year In Jail For Traffic Violations

People who took to the streets in Egypt for an online dance challenge face penalties over allegations they endangered lives and violated public decency, the state media reported on Tuesday. As fun as the challenge may seem, Public Information Bureau Chief of National Police' Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Mohammad Iqbal said the Kiki Challenge is forbidden because it is deemed to be dangerous to the participant and also to other people.

A father of two young adults, the 49-year-old Focus actor decided to jump onto a millennial trend by climbing the Chain Bridge in Budapest and doing a shimmy to Drake's song In My Feelings. The viral dance sensation, which started via social media star Shiggy, features people dancing to Drake's latest hit single ‘In My Feelings', taken from his new album ‘Scorpion'.

Tried the Shiggy Challenge to the hit Drake song In My Feelings. Millennials have yet again taken up a challenge that has gone viral on social media. While many celebrities, like infamous N-Zone dancer Odell Beckham Jr., are dancing in the street, others are participating in the "In My Feelings" challenge safely.

The law states that anyone obstructing traffic or endangering the lives of others will be subject to the aforementioned fine and up to a year in jail according to Magdy El-Shahed, traffic expert and aide to the interior minister. However attempting it in the UAE violates several Federal Traffic Laws, including driving a vehicle in a dangerous manner, blocking traffic and using a mobile phone while driving.

Security services in several countries have decided to put an end to #kikichallenge, according to media reports. If you have recently checked your feed, you must have seen random people getting out of their moving vehicle and dancing to Drake's track called ‘In My Feelings' from his album Scorpion.

From his early days of being memed to the explosive popularity of his Hotline Bling” music video, internet virality has always been a sustaining force of Drake's career. Those lines, which have since sparked an online dance challenge (started by Instagram personality @theshiggyshow ), come from In My Feelings”, a bounce song that arrives about 30 minutes into Side B of Scorpion.

CTD agent received a video showing a man performing the Kiki dance and was about to lose control on his vehicle, traffic police said, adding that the man was identified, his vehicle was seized and legal action was taken against him, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

In addition to this, Abu Duabi authorities arrested three famous artists because they posted their videos on social media when they performed that dance. Jonah Berger, a professor at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, published a book named Contagious on his study and analysis of viral information including images, stories, jokes, videos and ideas.

However, a video that Mumbai Police has used to show the Kiki challenge going wrong does not exactly seem to be "gone wrong" as the maker of the video, Harsh Beniwal, is famous for making humorous videos on social media. Some people: getting out as the driver and dancing while car is on cruise control.

Anyone can post a challenge on their social media account, tag some friends, create a hashtag and there you go, it becomes a trend, and spreads like wild fire. As part of the 'Kiki dance challenge', people get out of moving cars and dance to Canadian rapper Drake's song In My Feeling.

And though the origins of viral pop culture on the internet are often difficult to trace, Shiggy is the man who popularised what first went viral as the In My Feelings Challenge. We're talking about the Kiki” challenge (also Inmyfeelingschallenge known as the In My Feelings” challenge), a viral dance craze inspired by Drake's new track, In My Feelings.
