TikTok is one of those online platforms where anything can happen. You can find some new music, laugh uncontrollably or connect with other content creators.

One TikToker is using the video-sharing app creatively to get a Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson action figure to American musician Lil Nas X so he can wear it on a hat during the 64th annual Grammy Awards on 31 January 2022. 

Here’s how it’s going…

‘LITTLE ROCK STAR FOR LIL NAS X’

A TikTok account named “Little rockstar for Lil Nas X” is hoping to achieve the unthinkable. The TikToker explained that they are attempting to pass a rock from Cloverdale Park in Chicago to Hollywood, Los Angeles through TikTok so it hopefully ends up in the hands of Lil Nas X. The TikToker said once Lil Nas X retrives it, he should wear it on a hat at the 2022 Grammy Awards.

The plan is that the rock would travel city to city with the aim that someone would pick it up and drive it to another city until it reaches Los Angeles. 

There have unfortunately been some bumps in the road. The first rock only reached 144 kilometres and the second went further but someone drove the rock to its beginning point. The TikToker who started the mission swopped out the rock for a Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson action figure and drove it to Wisconsin for someone else to pick up.

Wisconsin to Los Angeles is roughly 3 200 kilometres.

HOW IS THE ROCK BEING TRACKED 

You can’t send an action figure across the country without a full-proof plan and this TikToker certainly has one. The content creator is tracking the rock by using the Untitled app which allows users to explore stories, interact and play with other users.

The last update from TikToker was that the rock made it to Dubuque, Iowa which means it still has just over 3 000 kilometres still to go.
