1. What is the #FlipTheSwitchChallenge?

To take part in the challenge, you will need a companion. The first person holds the phone and stands close to the mirror while performing the song, The other person, meanwhile, dances in the background. Before Drake sings the line “Look, I just flipped a switch”, the lights in the room are turned off, and when they go back on, it is revealed that the two people switched their outfits and positions.
The results of the switch can be understandably hilarious: the #FlipTheSwitchChallenge often features girlfriends and boyfriends, parents and children, and other pairs whose clothes swap produces the most unexpected and funny results.
2. Bovi
The Nigerian comedian Bovi delighted millions of his fans when he uploaded his version of the challenge to Instagram. He chose his daughter as his #FlipTheSwitchChallenge partner, and it’s very likely that the girl was the one who inspired her father to try the challenge, as young people simply love TikTok.
