The popular social media platform TikTok has placed a ban on the account of a Nigerian content creator, Young Cent, after he buried himself alive for 24 hours.

Young Cent became viral on social media when he announced his plan to be buried alive for a full day. In a video shared on his Instagram page before starting the challenge, he claimed the 24-hour stunt was authentic.

However, TikTok has removed the content creator's account for violating its rules. Responding to the ban in a video on his new TikTok page, created shortly after completing the 24-hour challenge, Young Cent asked his supporters to follow him on his new account for updates about himself.

He said in parts, “I just noticed that they just brought down my former Tiktok account and I just created a new one which I’m using to make the video ‘@youngcententertainment2’. Please you guys should follow me up ASAP. Let me get to 1000 followers so that I can go live and keep you guys updated.”
