Several celebrities like Diplo, NeNe Leakes, Bella Thorne and Ja Rule will compete with each other to show off their talents. Each week celebrities will be given a chance to record some captivating content that will be shared on social media. There are no restrictions on the type of content that can be created. At the end of each week, the celebrities will be judged, based on the number of views that their video garnered, user engagement, and even the duration of each user's session. Whichever celebrity has the lowest numbers on the specified parameters will be eliminated and replaced by a new celebrity.
