The #Kiki challenge, also known as #DoTheShiggy or the #InMyFeelings Challenge, has gotten way out of hand, with too many people being injured as they jump out of moving cars.
In fact, it’s gotten so bad that even Shiggy, the comedian who inadvertently started the frenzy, is reaching out to beg people to stop doing it. So, if you think jumping out of a moving car to do a dance routine is smart or funny or could earn you likes, just STAHP.

You can see Shiggy’s message in full in the video at the bottom of the page. He explains his intention was never to get people to put themselves at risk. He’s right: he was the one to do the routine in the street in the first place, but he didn’t do it out of a moving car. He simply stepped out of his car, which was stopped at the time.

Somehow, people added a twist to it and it’s been putting them in hospitals all over the world. If you don’t know, the challenge sees wannabe and professional dancers jump out of a car that rolls at about 10mph, to do the routine from Drake’s “In My Feelings” single.

Many of them, like the dude in the Instagram below, were hit by incoming cars, or fell from their own vehicles, or were injured in some other way. There are various subtrends with just the many ways the challenge can go wrong.

So Shiggy is putting his foot down. For the record, authorities in various states and countries (including Spain and the UK) have taken to social media to advise against the challenge, because it’s dangerous and irresponsible.

The comedian is telling people to have fun and enjoy Drake’s music and dance routine without putting themselves – and others – at risk. That involves, naturally, not jumping out of moving cars.
