When Did the Nicki Minaj 'Stiletto Challenge' Originate?
The trend originated in Nicki Minaj's 2013 music video for 'High School.'
Minaj’s trend, coined the “stiletto challenge,” went viral this summer despite originating in her 2013 music video for “High School.” In the video, the rapper stood next to a pool while striking the infamous pose.
Since popping off, social media users have intensified the challenge by posing on top of gravity-defying objects like cans of soup, champagne bottles and stacked books. One of the smallest objects used has been bottles of nail polish.
Influencer Fractures Her Spine During Viral Nicki Minaj Trend
Influencer Mariana Vasiuc broke her spine while attempting the trend.
Many celebrities have also attempted the challenge, including singer Ciara, Real Housewives of New York star Luann de Lesseps, Jenna & Friends co-host Jenna Bush Hager, DWTS pro Alan Bersten and many more.
The challenge has proved to be a danger, though, as influencer Mariana Vasiuc suffered a broken spine when she tumbled backward off of her kitchen island while balancing on top of baby formula.
“I decided to start blogging, the first content shooting — and here I am leaving the doctor diagnosed with ‘Th9 compression bending uncomplicated fracture of the body,’” Vasiuc shared on Instagram.
Some stars have even faced backlash over the trend. After The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Mikayla Matthews shared a video of herself holding her 2-week-old daughter in one hand and a handful of diapers in the other — while blindfolded — she was called out for “endangering” her child.
