In late December 2019, shortly after the release of JackBoys, TikTok star Nicole Bloomgarden created the "Out West Challenge". The dance challenge went viral on TikTok in February 2020.[1]
Music video
The music video was released on March 20, 2020. It was co-directed by Travis Scott alongside White Trash Tyler and shows a house party with women twerking while Young Thug performs above the crowd. The scene then heads to the bathroom, where a girl is found passed out by the toilet and Quincy Jones is washing his face and hands.[2] He also appears in the end of the clip walking around with a sandwich and eating it.[3]
The video features cameos from the JackBoys roster, consisting of rappers signed to Travis Scott's Cactus Jack Records.[4] Rappers 21 Savage, Yung Keyo and Young Jordan appear in the video as well; the latter two are signed to Young Thug's record label YSL Records.
