Jason Derulo found out the hard way that you shouldn’t jump on all TikTok trends as he ended up losing a tooth.
Social media can be an absolute goldmine when you are bored and looking for something to do.
There can be a new dance routine, or meme or something else wild going on in the interwebs. Basically, there is always a trend or something you can try at home for yourself.
But music star Jason Derulo found out that this isn’t always the best thing to do, as he 'appeared' to lose a tooth after hopping on a popular TikTok food trend.

The singer essentially tried to eat corn on the cob using a drill... yup a drill.
Take this as a WARNING that this video contains utter stupidity.
You'd think it'd go without saying that you shouldn't attempt to eat corn on the cob from a moving drill, or any other power tool for that matter.
In fact, 'just don't f*** about with power tools' is a decent tip to take with you as you go about your day.
Anyway, in the video, Derulo attempts a viral challenge that several people have taken on before, why I hear you ask? I really don't know.
First off, he puts the yellow DeWalt drill - other drills are available - to his mouth and starts it spinning.
Then, the idea seems to be that you use this questionable 'life hack' to eat the corn on the cob really quickly, by just putting the spinning corn to your mouth and letting the drill do the rest of the work.
However, the only work that the drill did was on the popular singer's teeth.
Let's hope he's got a decent dentist, because - rather plausibly - he screamed in pain and pulled the power tool away to reveal that his two front teeth had been badly chipped.
He's got a long time to wait until he can get a new set for Christmas, if he's lucky.
Luckily, the 'Wiggle' singer was only pulling a prank on his followers, but still, the thought of it is enough to make your shins itch.
Weirdly enough, this isn't the first prank that the musician who brought us other bops like 'Talk Dirty', has shared involving his gnashers.
A while back, he was doing a handstand by the side of his pool and fell in. As he emerged from the pool, he revealed that he'd 'broken' one of his teeth in the process.
Luckily, on that occasion it was also only a fake tooth. I wouldn't keep pushing your luck on this one, Derulo.
