The Gulf Emirate of Abu Dhabi ordered the arrest of three popular social media users for participating in the viral dance challenge of Canadian hip-hop star, Drake's song 'In my feelings'.
In the 'Kiki dance challenge', people are required to get out of a slowly moving vehicle, leave the door open as they dance along with the music.
The names of the three people was not revealed by the public prosecutor's office. In a statement read on Monday, July 23, it said: “Participants in this challenge get out of a moving car and leave the door open and dance on a public road next to the car, which is a danger to them and others on the road. This behaviour is contrary to the values of the Emirates’ society and constitutes a violation of public morals.”
The statement also revealed that the detainees will be investigated, “on charges of endangering their lives and the lives of others, and violating public morals using social networking sites to promote practises that are incompatible with the values and traditions of society.”
The prosecutor's office added that, those taking part in the challenge could be punished with a fine or imprisonment.
