Nicki Minaj has participated in the viral Stiletto challenge from her High School music video, and fans have found her entry hilarious. The Stiletto challenge has recently taken over TikTok with participants wearing a pair of heels and balancing precariously over a random object.
The originator of the trend, Nicki Minaj, finally answered calls from fans to recreate the iconic pose. The Starships crooner shared a video on Instagram of herself wearing a black dress and bright colored heels as she tried to recreate the pose by the poolside.
In the video’s caption, she explained that the tight dress stopped her from striking the pose perfectly and promised to redo the challenge:
"Dear Barbz, About that pose.... Ummm, this Chanel dress was just a tad shorter than I thought & the thongs definitely didn't help. Didn't want to make it explicit. Both feet on the ground tho. Ten toes. Ima put on a diff outfit that won't show so much skin & do it again for you guys later."
@Buzzingpop shared the artist’s pose on X, and Netizens were amused by how she tried to find her balance on high heels.
@Pusianaa replied: “She’s holding on that fence for dear life.”

Some fans weren’t impressed by the rapper’s recreation of the trend and expressed such:
“I wouldn’t necessarily call that recreate,” @saysosis stated.
“She should delete this. Holding on to fences and poles,” @SERVEJADE added.

Others expressed that Nicki Minaj was the only one doing the challenge properly:
“She’s the only one doing it properly. Both feet have to be on the ground,” @betterin_person argued.
“It's everybody doing the Nicki challenge wrong and swear they doing it right only seen two people out of allllll the people I seen doing it including the celebrities on the internet doing it right,” @Dr_Ikay replied.
“She nailed the pose effortlessly. Pure queen energy,” @xiaoheihei added.
