Earlier this week, Rae Sremmurd reached the No. 1 spot on the charts with "Black Beatles," in large part due to the #MannequinChallenge. The viral internet phenomenon, soundtracked by Swae Lee And Slim Jxmmi's SremmLife 2 single, was recreated by Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, Paul McCartney, and more. Rae Sremmurd recently brought the #MannequinChallenge to ESPN's SportsCenter and discussed the success of their hit song.
Jxmmi explained to anchors Neil Everett and Nicole Briscoe that he had seen high school students to the challenge on Twitter and was inspired to create his own video to "Black Beatles." The brothers mentioned that the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, Paul McCartney, and Michelle Obama made some of their favorite #MannequinChallenge videos.
