It looks like even Black Panther star Michael B. Jordan can’t resist getting in on the M’baku Challenge that’s sweeping social media.
A little boy decided to throw his hat in the ring for the M’Baku Challenge and his video has gone viral. Folks have been showing off their acting chops by re-enacting the scene in Black Panther where M’Baku (Winston Duke) challenges the King T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) for the throne since the movie premiered.

Searching for “M’Baku Challenge” online will send you down a rabbit hole of pure joy and laughter. The other challengers aren’t quite as cute as the little one above, but there are some good ones out there. By the looks of some of the performances, Winston Duke might have some competition for the Black Panther sequel!
The little boy’s mother, Brittni-Rae, posted her son’s M’baku Challenge video to her Instagram account on Sunday and the video took off, even catching the eye of Black Panther co-star Michael B. Jordan.
“Lil man you nailed it!!!!” wrote the actor who portrayed Killmonger about the M’baku Challenge video.
Suffice to say, with the M’baku Challenge video as his audtion, this kid clearly deserves to be in the Black Panther sequel!
Hook that up, Michael B. Jordan!
