Young Dolph Picks An Ultra Creative Video For the First Winner of His ‘That’s Major Challenge’

Just like he promised, Young Dolph announced the first winner of his “That’s Major Challenge.”

To enter, people have to record themselves doing something interesting to the rapper’s new song “Major,” whether it be dancing, rapping or acting something out. The contest will run for four weeks long, and Dolph said he’ll pick a new winner every week.

His first winner goes by the name of Jeff Shelley, who put together a video of a rapper who lives a hip-hop high lifestyle, only to get exposed as a fake at the very end.

In the beginning of the clip, Shelly uses a stuffed tiger that looks kind of real due to the quick way it was shot. He also runs around with an incredibly high stack of plastic cups, money in his pocket and a woman who gyrates beside him.

But you can’t tell the video is a parody until the end, which is part of it’s creativity. The first week’s winner also seemed to put some work in the clip and didn’t just slap it together.

As for Shelly, he’s turned into a mini-internet celebrity and received tons of congratulations. His clip has also been seen over 500,000 times, so there’s a chance he’ll be able to parlay this into something good for himself.

“Proud of you my boy. Keep pushing all the way to the top,” one of his followers wrote.

“That’s trill big, bro. “We rooting for you in the H Town” wrote another. “Keep that sh–  going.”

The final winner of the challenge will receive a new camouflage Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. You can see the video of the first week winner below.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
