Nicki Minaj’s Incredibly Challenging Pink Stiletto Pose Earns the Queen of Rap’s Seal of Approval

Nicki Minaj lifts her glass in tribute to Pink, who effortlessly conquered the rapper’s now-legendary stiletto challenge.
In a TikTok clip shared on Thursday, August 14, Pink balances elegantly on a small box atop her dining table, one leg folded across the other in a low squat, all while casually sipping a beer. “Why do my friends always wait until my third beer to make me do stupid sh– on TikTok?” she joked in the caption.
Minaj signaled her approval by resharing Pink’s video on X, adorning it with pink heart and bow emojis.
Pink is the latest celebrity to tackle this fiendishly difficult pose originally showcased by the Queen of Rap. From Ciara and Dancing With the Stars pro Witney Carson to Jenna Bush Hager, stars have attempted Minaj’s one-legged squat from her 2013 “High School” music video with Lil Wayne—heels and all. The stunt’s peril is real: one influencer even fractured her spine after a fall on her kitchen island.
Earlier this month, Minaj herself joined the trend, admitting she too found the pose challenging. Sharing her own outtakes, the hip-hop icon quipped, “About that pose… this Chanel dress was a bit shorter than I thought, and the thongs definitely didn’t help. Didn’t want to make it explicit.”
Watch Pink set a new benchmark below with her flawless execution of Minaj’s viral stiletto stance.
