What is the stank walk challenge?

The stank walk challenge song is Jus Know by BlackMayo. The song was released by the singer in the year 2019, and TikTokers realised how the first few seconds of the song could be used for a fun challenge to do on TikTok. The stank walk challenge is a fun way to show how sometimes you get attracted to something but as soon as it contains something that you dislike, you take a step back and simply walk away from it.

These videos show how people do a stank walk forward if they come across a good online deal or business opportunity. Then they see the terms and conditions about the same and walk back quickly. This same life event was applied in different situations by people and thus the stank walk TikTok challenge became the new cool thing to do on the platform.
