Abu Dhabi orders the arrest of three social media stars for taking part in viral 'In My Feelings' dance challenge
The Gulf Emirate of Abu Dhabi has ordered the arrest of three popular
social media users for taking part in the viral "In My Feelings"
challenge.
The viral dance challenge based on Canadian hip-hop superstar Drake's
hit song "In My feelings" sees people get out of a slowly moving car
and leave the door open as they dance alongside it in sync with the
music.
Certain countries like Spain have warned that arrests will be made if
participants break traffic laws while doing the challenge and Abu Dhabi
is already following through on the warning.
The public prosecutor's office did not reveal the names of the three
people ordered detained but a statement said 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 practices that are incompatible with the values and traditions
of society."
"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," it said in a statement on Monday.
"This behaviour is contrary to the values of the Emirates' society and constitutes a violation of public morals."
Those caught taking part in the challenge could be punished with a fine or imprisonment, the prosecutor's office said
