The latest celebrity to get hit with the #MannequinChallenge mania is none other than Desiigner. The Brooklyn-born rapper recently invaded the Champs Sports store at the Mall of America in Minnesota to showcase his rendition of the Internet fad. The video, which was posted on Instagram, gives viewers an immediate glimpse of the rapper alongside a surprise appearance from Timberwolves guard, Kris Dunn. Shortly afterwards, the cameraman maneuvers his way through the store, capturing a slew of adidas-clad individuals posing lifeless as Desiigner’s ubiquitous “Timmy Turner” track pulsates in the background.

Watch the hilarious clip below and then let us know if it outshines Paul McCartney’s rendition.
