Behind The Shiggy Challenge That Propelled Drake’s “In My Feelings” To No. 1

“When OBJ posted it on the 4th of July, that’s when it really took off to another level.”

In mid-July, Drake collected his third No. 1 hit of 2018 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “In My Feelings.” The Scorpion single’s jump from No. 6 was in no small part fueled by social media influencer Shiggy, who started a dance inspired by the song that went viral. As the #DoTheShiggyChallenge spread, celebrities such as Odell Beckham Jr., Ciara, and Will Smith joined in.

“A couple of things that made the ‘In My Feelings’ song stand out was that you get a couple of different vibes when you listen to the song,” Shiggy tells Genius. “It’s got the New Orleans bounce in it, and the City Girls come in, and they’re from Miami. So it’s a whole bunch of different energies that you get throughout the song.”
