Sunday November 24, 2024, French rapper Jul posted a message on his social networks, asking his fans to stop a particularly dangerous trend that has been circulating on TikTok for several days.
A piece that ignites. In recent days, a dangerous trend has spread on social networks in tribute to Marseille rapper Jul. Young fans had fun reproducing the cover of his Free Album Vol. 2. On his song “En live de periscope”, released in 2016, teenagers ignite their fingers using hydroalcoholic gel, perfume or deodorant, before making the Jul sign to the rhythm of the music.
It is in Germany that this trend emerged and continues to circulate, almost nine years after the release of the album. A challenge “not to be reproduced at home” according to Konbiniwho warned of the situation on November 21, 2024.
“If you could stop”
A trend that eventually caught the singer's ears. On Instagram, the rapper asked his fans to stop the trend. “It's nice but I think it's a little dangerous for you! If you could stop that would be great for me!” he commented before adding “If you could spread the word it would calm me down! Thank you!”
