Moneybagg Yo has made it clear that he is not down to do any TikTok dance challenges with his girlfriend, Ari Fletcher—especially the viral Flip The Switch challenge. As TikTok's popularity grows faster and wider than ever before, plenty of viral challenges have been birthed from the video-creating app. While some challenges are pretty reprehensible—like the "Coronavirus Challenge" that involves licking unsavoury things like public toilet seats—others, like most of the dance challenges, are merely harmless fun. One dance challenge in particular involves participants filming themselves dancing in the mirror while a snippet of Drake's "Nonstop" from his last album, Scorpion, plays. When Drake utters the line, "I just flipped the switch," the participants turn the light off, and turn it back after having swapped clothing. Plenty of famous couples, like Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez, have taken on the challenge, but it looks like Moneybagg and Ari won't be one of those couples anytime soon.

Ari took to Twitter on Wednesday to implore her followers to force Moneybagg into the TikTok craze. "My boyfriend won’t do no Tik Toks with me," she wrote. "Can y’all go force him, please." Despite her followers' sincerest efforts, Moneybagg replied to the tweet, declaring, "F*ck dat Ian flipping no switch."
Moneybagg's not the only male who has denounced the challenge, though. Last week, Waka Flocka took to Instagram to criticize all the men participating in the challenge for dressing in women's clothing just for comedy. "This flip the switch challenge is making me realize a lot," he said. "Never will I act or dress like a female: Not for promo. Not for comedy and damn sure not for a f*cking challenge. Where’s the be a real man challenge [?] it’s like being feminine a wave. Please stay WOKE #WhatTheFlocka."
Waka Flocka Is Not Here For The "Flip The Switch" Challenge
Waka Flocka slammed men for dressing in women’s clothing for comedy by participating in the Flip The Switch challenge with their girlfriends.
You will not catch Waka Flocka in a dress, not even for a laugh. The self-proclaimed “wack rapper” expressed his disapproval of the viral “Flip The Switch” challenge that’s been taking over TikTok recently, which has seen plenty of men swapping outfits with women. In these videos, set to Drake‘s “Nonstop” off his last album, Scorpion, participants film themselves dancing in the mirror before turning their light switch off when Drizzy utters, “I just flipped the switch.” When the light comes back on, seemingly immediately, the participants have traded clothing, making it appear as if by magic thanks to TikTok’s format that allows users to pause and resume filming. The challenge is one of the many Internet fads that originated on TikTok, and tons ofouples have gotten on board with the fun and lighthearted energy of it.

However, it appears that Waka Flocka doesn’t see it that way. He took to Instagram to point out what he believes are the deeper implications of the challenge, as it has led to a lot of men dressing in a feminine way for comedy.
“This flip the switch challenge is making me realize a lot,” he said. “Never will I act or dress like a female: Not for promo. Not for comedy and damn sure not for a f*cking challenge. Where’s the be a real man challenge [?] it’s like being feminine a wave. Please stay WOKE #WhatTheFlocka.” The man has been sharing a lot of controversial opinions lately, including his belief that minorities cannot contract coronavirus. What do you think about the “Flip The Switch” challenge?
