The two challenges that have taken the top charts this quarantine period is 'Don't Rush' challenge and 'Toosie Slide' by Drake.
Just when we thought Ciara and Rusell won the 'Toosie Slide' challenge with their cute routine, a group of five kids, three girls and two boys who are known as Masaka Kids Africana from Uganda surprised us.
The song is now at number two trending on the Billboard Hot 100 after The Weekend's song 'Blinding Lights' overtook him taking the number one spot.
Now back to the Masaka Kids Africana. So they decided to take up the challenge with the hope it could get the attention of Drake, aka Champagne Papi and guess what, it did.
