By juxtaposing the lavish Arabian setting of the original with his paper-based improvisation, Official Dacosta added a refreshing twist that resonated with online audiences.

The TikTok video quickly gained traction, spreading like wildfire across social media platforms.

Netizens were quick to applaud Official Dacosta's creativity and dedication in emulating the essence of 'Habibi.'
