New Mannequin Challenge videos continue to hit the internet and of course, Desiigner had to do it up for his own by taking over the entire Champs Sports store in the Mall of America.

From the sound quality, it seems he got the store to supply the music through their own speakers. He also exchanged Rae Sremmurd's "Black Beatles," the song that has become the unofficial soundtrack of the challenge, for his own track, "Tiimmy Turner."

"With my man @krisdunn3@champssports X @adidasoriginals#Adidas #WeKnowGame#MannequinChallenge​," the rapper captioned his Mannequin Challenge video on Instagram.​ Stay locked into it until the very end because the rapper caps it off in the most Desiigner way by refusing to stay still the whole time.

There is also no doubt that Desiigner makes a conscious effort to spotlight Adidas, which happens to be the brand that Minnesota Timberwolves guard Kris Dunn, who appears mid dab in the video with Desiigner, is signed to. Obviously, Adidas is also the same brand that his G.O.O.D. Music mentor Kanye West designs for and there is no shortage of all things Adidas spotlighted in the video. Pretty much everyone involved, Desiigner included, is sporting Adidas t-shirts, track jackets, shoes, and accessories. A number of people also tribute Dunn by sporting his number on an Adidas shirt. That is some solid promo right there.

Desiigner now joins a long list of artists that have gotten involved in the challenge in recent weeks. Young Thug executed a private jet version while also premiering a new song with 21 Savage, ASAP Ferg took it during his own concert, and even Hillary Clinton got involved while on the campaign trail. There was also the time the actual white Beatles original, Paul McCartney, co-signed Rae Sremmurd's song by sharing his own awesome Mannequin Challenge.

Watch Desiigner and Kris Dunn's Manneuqin Challenge that should probably become an actual Adidas commercial above.
