Pink Nails Nicki Minaj’s Insanely Difficult Stiletto Pose — and the Queen of Rap Approves

Nicki Minaj is raising her glass to Pink, who tried out the rapper’s viral stiletto challenge and absolutely knocked it out of the park.

In a TikTok posted Thursday (Aug. 14), Pink balances precariously — with one leg crossed over the other in a low squat — on a small box atop of a dining table, somehow making it look easy as she casually takes a swig of beer. “Why my friends always wait till my third beer to make me do dumb s–t on TikTok,” she captioned the video.

Minaj gave her stamp of approval by reposting the singer’s video on X, sharing pink heart and bow emojis.

Pink is just the latest person to try the Queen of Rap’s absurdly difficult pose challenge, for which people — including Ciara, Dancing With the Stars‘ pro Witney Carson and Jenna Bush Hager — have been attempting to recreate Minaj’s one-legged squat in the 2013 video for her Lil Wayne collab “High School” while wearing high heels. It can’t be overstated how hard it is to pull off; one influencer reportedly broke her spine after falling while trying to do the pose on her kitchen island.

Minaj herself also paid tribute to the trend earlier in August — but even she struggled to nail the position. Sharing a video of her attempts, the hip-hop titan wrote, “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.”
