TikTok creator “The Jungle Pups” claimed ownership of a unique £20,000, 24-karat gold Labubu figurine, betting on its rising value. Her viral video sparked skepticism over authenticity. She showcased magnet tests and a “gold detector,” and later revealed rare emerald, diamond, and pink diamond variants to bolster her claims. However, attempts to verify these gemstones with a suspicious “gem detector,” which beeped like a common phone ringtone, fueled online mockery and disbelief. Her efforts highlighted the blend of digital spectacle, luxury culture, and satirical content.

Douyin, the Chinese TikTok, removed 26 accounts impersonating the “Girl with a Carrying Pole,” a viral sensation. The platform took action after identifying accounts using her name and profile. The student, who gained fame after images of her carrying luggage went viral, confirmed she has no social media accounts and will not create any before university. She is working a part-time job to contribute to her family.
