Lil Pump Offers $10,000 For Best Dance In Viral Taliban Challenge

Instagram/@lilpump

It is a new challenge initiated by the rapper Lil Pump with his cookie monsters unable to decide who’s the better dancer. The challenge was set with the chance to win $10,000, to anybody who might bring to life an extraordinary act of dancing for the so-called “Taliban Challenge.” So from the look of things, very many shall be greedy.

The post, though, is very much simple: just text announcing the challenge, without any images or videos accompanying it. The very concept of this challenge has stirred chaos within the comment section. Some appeared to be happy about the opportunity, whereas some could not refrain from poking fun at it.

Another user posted a side question: “Is this only for girls,” referring to viral dance trends that seemed to pass down their gender assignation? One sarcastic guy followed with: “Do I have to have fake tits and fake ass for this or can I be normal?” This must have been a direct jab towards the extreme social media aesthetics seen in these challenges.

The competitive spirit was equally alive with one contestant making a claim, “I’m more hot than this baddie,” whom he was comparing himself to. Simultaneously, another uttered, “I send you the video already,” evidently attempting to beat everyone else.

One of the ridiculously abstract random comments in the comment section completely disregarded the dance scene by asking Lil Pump, “Do I look edible?”-Just a reminder that internet comments will never go a single route.

This is not the first round of cash for viral moments by Lil Pump. He has resteemed his other expensive giveaways and outrageous stunts. Building this on a dance challenge alone for five-figures is some-level higher.

The mere title of the “Taliban Challenge” will get eyeballs raising, adding another line to the list of scandalous mentions Lil Pump has found himself in. Some may deem it innocent street lingo; others may consider it an awkwardly placed reference amidst the present global state; yet, terror has never slowed down the rapper.

What gets more interesting is how social media plays a role in this one. These dance challenges have been top for being viral content for some years. But big cash and no rules present a little more motivation for submission. From the creator’s view, who are already battling for visibility, an offering like that could get those submissions really crazy.

There are no stated rules to the challenge; what this means is each contestant interprets the announcement according to his understanding. Does the ‘best dance’ mean most technical? Most creative? Most ridiculous? Who really knows? Maybe the ambiguity is there precisely to set off everybody’s imagination.

One thing is for sure: the $10,000 and Lil Pump’s heavyweight social clout will have the challenge-as-many-flyers-down-the-timeline. Whether this is for a showcase of true talent or another viral wreck remains to be seen; in any case, everyone is talking about it, and in attention-world, that’s half the battle.

Now that submissions are beginning to pour in, it will be much reward to observe what wins-a seriously professional act or a total clown show or, maybe, something as far away from imagination!
