In a passionate statement shared on her X, Efia Odo did not hold back her feelings about the viral challenge, which she believes has crossed a line by involving elements of Christianity and the church.
Efia Odo’s criticism reflects her concern that the challenge, which has seen numerous participants, including celebrities, engaging in provocative behaviour, is inappropriate when it touches on religious themes.
The Kiki challenge, initially a dance craze to the song “In My Feelings” by Drake, has evolved into various forms, some of which have included imitations of religious figures and settings. This has sparked controversy and divided opinions on social media.
The Kiki challenge made girls hold Bibles in church attires and then transition into baddies in almost unclad outfits.
Efia Odo’s remarks have added to the ongoing debate about the limits of trends and challenges on social media, especially when they intersect with sensitive topics such as religion.
As the conversation around the Kiki challenge continues, it remains to be seen whether Efia Odo’s comments will influence others to reconsider their participation in such trends.
Her stance highlights a broader issue of how social media challenges can sometimes blur the lines of respect and propriety in the quest for viral fame.
That kiki challenge is a disgusting challenge. Do all the sexy shit yall want but leave Christianity and the church out of it. Yall not afraid of God and will do anything cuz it’s a trend.
