Whamos Cruz
On February 24th, 2021, TikToker Whamos Cruz uploaded a video in which he performs the dance while wearing a dress, surrounded by four men in police outfits, as if trying to court them (shown below). The video gained over 58.1 million views in just under two months. On February 26th, YouTuber Tikotoko Video posted the video, garnering over 500,000 views in a comparable span of time.
On March 1st and 3rd, Cruz released two more versions of the dance to TikTok the first very similar to the original video, and the second with Cruz out of drag and surrounded by women (shown below, left and right). The videos gained over 88.1 million and 59.4 million views respectively in a month.
Cruz’s video inspired a new branch of the trend in which TikTokers perform the dance while surrounded by people watching them throughout March, sometimes while wearing drag (examples shown below, left and right).
