Megan Thee Stallion has been the queen of female empowerment movements. After having women around the world claiming their “Hot Girl Summer” in 2019, she’s now letting them know they can be a “Savage.”
Her new single is making its rounds around social media along with choreography to prove how boss they are. Everyday people and celebrities are taking part in the new dance video challenge while quarantined in.
What is Megan Thee Stallion’s Savage challenge?
The “Savage” challenge was created by one of Stallion’s fans, Keara Wilson, which Wilson shared to her social media on Mar. 11. The Houston-bred rapper gave Wilson’s choreography her seal of approval by sharing the video to her Instagram page.
“Welp let me go learn this lol #savagechallenge,” Stallion captioned the video she shared.
The video instantly went viral. Since then, the challenge has been accepted by fans across the globe, especially now that most of the world is on some sort of shut-in and unable to leave their homes unless its for emergency purposes. The challenge has largely been done on the video-sharing social networking service, TikTok, which launched in 2016.
“Savage” is one of Stallion’s songs included on her latest project, Suga. The project has already spawned two Billboard Hot 100 hits with “B.I.T.C.H.” and “Captain Hook.” “Savage” appears to be the rapper’s next big hit thanks to the popularity of the new dance challenge.
According to Genius, “Savage” currently sits at No. 17 on the Genius Top Songs chart. The song is also gaining momentum on the music streaming service, Spotify, garnering 750,000 global streams on Mar. 19 alone.
What celebrities have participated in the Megan Thee Stallion Savage challenge?
