Trendaholics: Is Kiki challenge really a challenge?


Drake has twisted the social media, lunchtime conversations and people’s nap time with his music and videos as well as ascending towards the hill of the hip-hop/rap industry. The Canadian superstar’s single ‘’In My Feelings’’ released in July of this year has created...or shall we say innovated yet another dance challenge in 2018. Here is everything you need to know about the Kiki Challenge:

Instagram comedian Shiggy generated the challenge, he indirectly asked the people to do the Shiggy with him. Dancing in a Reebok tracksuit outfit, Shiggy is filmed dancing happily in the middle of the road to the song. Guess what happened? Shiggy made the people Wiggy. He interpreted the lyrics “are you riding” by pretending to steer a car. Most importantly he makes a love heart with his hands as Drake sings, “Kiki, do you love me”. Drake was delighted so he thanked the comedian in person, and tweeted a picture of their meeting. It’s now developed to an international level mantra and people are taking their dance challenges to the level which is next to the next level, well thank you very much Shiggy. Pilot Alejandra Manriquez did hers out of a plane, Yes a plane.

Will Smith doing Kiki Challenge

Many social media users, starting from celebrities such as Kevin Hart, Ciara and even Will Smith to almost everyone have been posting footage of themselves doing the dances which no one ever imagined to the melody for the unknown Kiki. In the US, Spain, India, Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates, police warned people that Kiki is dangerous and people performing the challenge will be charged as criminals, so many were. Well this challenge is something.

However, a challenge was initially defined as a call to prove or justify something. It was to make your life’s supreme objectives those which you dreamed of. Converting dreams in to reality is a challenge. Where Kiki converted reality in to a nightmare and made a challenge. Being a person following hot and wall breaking trends is not something defective but we all need a ‘ME’ time to think over the actions we perform are those worth the time. Challenge yourselves so you can unlock your full potentials from which you can develop something immense, enormous which will one day make people follow you for a bigger cause.

Who is Kiki anyway?
