May 9, (THEWILL)- Short video platform, TikTok, has permanently banned the account of Young C, a Nigerian man who embarked on a 24-hour challenge of being buried alive.
Young C had caused a stir online on Wednesday when he embarked on a challenge to be buried alive in a coffin for 24 hours.
He was successfully exhumed after spending 24 hours buried alive in a coffin.
This feat was announced on his Instagram account on Thursday afternoon, accompanied by the revelation that his TikTok account had been suspended.
Earlier, Young C had updated his Instagram account, reassuring his followers that he was still alive and in good condition, despite experiencing physical discomfort and running out of water.
Young C embarked on this challenge on Wednesday, announcing his intention to be buried alive for 24 hours and broadcasting live footage from the coffin at night.
Young C’s feat bears resemblance to a similar challenge undertaken by American YouTuber, MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson), who spent 50 hours buried alive two years ago to raise awareness about deforestation.Â
Recently, MrBeast attempted to surpass his record by spending seven consecutive days buried in a coffin, overcoming physical and mental challenges before being exhumed.
He cautioned viewers against attempting similar stunts due to the inherent dangers involved.
