Influencer Fractures Her Spine While Trying Viral Nicki Minaj Pose Challenge

Like, it’s all fun and games till you end up in a neck brace, right? People really will do anything for those likes.

Even Nicki Minaj couldn’t resist chiming in about that legendary pose from way back, over ten years ago. Wild, right?

So, folks online cooked up this whole “stiletto challenge.” It’s blowing up all over social. Everyone’s trying to copy that wild pose Nicki nailed in the “High School” video back in 2013. Honestly, some of these attempts… let’s just say not everyone’s got her balance.

So, in that video, Nicki’s just chilling by the pool, rocking these ridiculous, glittery stilettos heels so high they defy physics. She hits this wild pose that you just can’t unsee. Then, somehow (like, how is this even possible?), she drops into a squat, crosses her legs over, and stays frozen like a mannequin, heels still planted. I mean, how does she not topple over? Straight-up legendary.

TikTok folks took things to the next level, couldn’t just stick to the basics, oh no. Suddenly, everyone’s out here trying that pose on anything that wobbles: kitchen counters, coffee tables, maybe even a wobbly ironing board if they’re feeling spicy. Gotta love a good dose of internet chaos.

Of course, you can guess where this is going. One influencer wiped out. She’s currently nursing some pretty gnarly injuries and, yep, had to make a glamorous pit stop at the ER. Not exactly the kind of viral she was hoping for, huh?

Alright, get this Marina Barutkina from Russia just said, “You know what? Let’s crank this up a notch.” So, she goes and plants one foot just one on top of a baby formula jar (which, by the way, is sitting on a cooking pan), all of it perched on her kitchen counter. Meanwhile, she’s clutching a giant can of food in one hand and just casually rocking a pair of stilettos like it’s no big deal. I mean, come on, who even thinks of this stuff? Total legend move.

So, yeah, she’s up there on the counter, and bam, not even a full minute later, she wipes out and smacks right onto the floor. Classic internet gold.

That clip? Absolute wildfire. Marina dropped it on August 1, and now everyone’s seen it. She’s kind of leaning into her whole “accidental celebrity” vibe, but honestly, she admitted that the fall wasn’t just embarrassing; it busted her spine. Compression flexion fracture, if you wanna get medical about it. Ouch.

Marina had barely made it eight weeks into new-mom territory when life threw her a curveball. She posted on Instagram (with a little help from Google Translate, I’m guessing): “So, I kicked off my blog, did my first photoshoot, and now bam, leaving the doctor’s office with a brand new diagnosis.”

She couldn’t help but laugh at the universe: “Is this irony? Karma? Or just life being that annoying gym coach, testing you when you least expect it?”

She said she’d keep sharing stuff about her messy life, the whole motherhood rollercoaster, tips on staying sane after an injury, and all that jazz.

But, man, the internet did not hold back. People came out swinging in the comments, calling her out for putting her health on the line instead of chilling with her newborn. Sometimes, social media feels like a gladiator pit, honestly.

So get this: one chaotic, kinda blurry video, and boom, I wake up and suddenly I’m the main character. Wild, right? She jumped back online, basically saying, “Hey, thanks for the hype, the DMs, and yep, I see your comments. I’m chilling, doing what I’m supposed to, living that so-called ‘star life’ now.”

Oh, and for all the keyboard warriors freaking out about her kid? She shut that down quick: “Relax, he’s got TWO nannies. While I was out here going viral, he was fine.”

And then, because the internet is a trip, Nicki Minaj of all people drops a video riffing on “that pose.” You know you’ve made it when Nicki’s in on the joke.

Still got it after all these years, Minaj rocked her sky-high heels and busted out that signature pose like it was nothing. She even threw in a few goofy behind-the-scenes clips, just to keep it real for the Barbz (that’s her fan army, in case you’ve been living under a rock). Spoiler alert: it wasn’t a flawless one-and-done situation.

Her caption? Pure Minaj chaos: “Dear Barbz, about that pose… Ummm, this Chanel dress was just a tad shorter than I thought & the thongs didn’t help. Didn’t want to make it explicit.” Like, she knows exactly what she’s doing, and she’s not about to let anyone forget it.

She also had to remind everyone because people on the internet will try anything, that this challenge isn’t about risking a broken ankle or showing off your yoga skills. “Both feet on the ground. Ten toes,” she wrote. Then she promised to swap outfits and give it another go, just less skin next round. Honestly, classic Nicki.
