On Tuesday (Mar 10), Megan – real name Megan Pete – dropped the iconic 'Captain Hook' video, which she directed herself.

Here's how you can copy Megan's moves.

How to do the Captain Hook Challenge.

So, here's how you do the Captain Hook Challenge, as performed by Megan Thee Stallion herself on Monday night (Mar 9).

Basically, start by crossing your arms and wiggling your hips in a circular motion. Then comes the head tap followed by an exaggerated hair flip. Next, when Megan raps, "He's a sweetie, mmh, kiss it when he eat it, ayy, yeah," you'll need to tap your stomach a few times, before performing an eating motion. Finish by bopping up and down, kind of like you're heading down in an elevator. Simple, right?

Who started the Captain Hook Challenge?

Megan Thee Stallion was the first to perform the Captain Hook Challenge following her song of the same name. She shared the choreographed routine on Instagram, however, it was created using the Triller app – a rival to TikTok.

That hasn't stopped Megan's fans taking to TikTok to show off their moves, though, where people are putting their own spin on the challenge.
