TikTok challenge

A TikTok challenge based on the song went viral. The challenge features a person sitting down and then being pulled away.

[1] [2] The challenge was deemed dangerous after multiple videos surfaced of children doing the challenge and being violently pulled off-screen. [3]

Critical reception

The track received lukewarm reviews. Yoh Phillips of DJBooth said he "really enjoyed Lil Baby, but Offset and Yachty left me wanting more", also adding "if Yachty’s production was a person, they would probably be in custody for unlawful acts". [4]
