It appears that the challenge was actually started by a TikTok user named @yvngprincesswho posted a video of herself in January 2021 doing the dance routine with a red filter slowly revealing her Silhouette. This video was then reposted by popular Instagram influencer @nickiminajonas who gave credit to @yvngprincess for creating the challenge.

The challenge quickly spread across social media platforms around the world due to its catchy beat and easy-to-follow dance moves. As a result, many people now associate Doja Cat with this viral trend.
