Kiki Challenge Archives

The magic of KiKi challenge on Bollywood actresses these days has gone as well. This version has resulted in the challenge being banned in Egypt, and now, authorities in the UAE have warned that anyone caught doing the dance in this way will be hit with a Dhs2000 fine, 23 black points on their licence, and have their car impounded for 60 days.

He added that the challenge is officially banned with the traffic law in Egypt, as it is forbidden for a car to drive with any of its doors open or under the minimum assigned speed depending on the road. People doing the challenge continue to dance next to the slowly moving car.

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.

With the popularity of the video, celebrities and fans have been creating their own versions to the song, posting short clips of themselves performing the trending dance to their social media networks. For the uninitiated, Kiki challenge was started after 'Hotline Bling' singer Drake launched his new song 'In My Feelings' recently.

Kiki challenge involves a person to jump out of a moving car and dance in sync with the car's motion, and then get back in the car again. We are aware of the videos being posted on social media, even though no one has been caught in the act. The idea behind the Kiki Challenge is to leave the car while it's slowly moving, open the door and dance outside.

Unless you've thrown your phone into the sea or gone on some kind of social media abstinence - you probably won't have missed the v iral phenomenon that has been the #inmyfeelingschallenge , saturating your newsfeeds to the infectious beat of Drake over the last fortnight.

Also known as #DotheShiggy, the #InMyFeelingsChallenge asks fans to film videos of themselves dancing to the first minute or so Kikichallenge of "In My Feelings", lightly miming those now iconic first two lyrics. Captain Abdullah Bu Hassan from the Interior Ministry pointed out that engaging in this dance challenge could lead to payment of KD100 fine and imprisonment for three months once the case is referred to the court.

Numerous videos of the challenge have appeared online, including some coming from the Gulf region, where such actions are considered offensive to public morals and traditions. The department tweeted late Monday that the three face charges of endangering the lives of others, disrupting public morals and violating the traffic laws of Abu Dhabi”.

Regarding the nature of the challenge, the police decided to ban it since it could potentially endanger other road users apart from the person who do the dance. In Kuwait, performing the challenge is considered breaking three traffic laws, and the maximum penalty will be arresting the driver and suspending his driving licence for 4 month and confiscating the car for two month.

Driving a vehicle in a way that could endanger others can also have your car impounded for 60 days. Meanwhile, people taking the ‘Kiki Challenge' outside moving cars not only put their own lives in danger but fellow road users also face the risk of getting hit by other vehicles.

A few weeks ago, the 31-year-old Canadian rapper, Drake, prompted a viral trend with his new song, In My Feelings”, when he inspired comedian Lil Shuzi of The Shiggy Show” to use the song's lyrics, Kiki, do you love me?”, and its catchy beat to launch a dancing challenge choreographed to the song.
