WATCH | Nicki Minaj's iconic pose sparks a viral TikTok challenge

There’s a new craze taking over the internet, and this time it’s all thanks to the one and only Nicki Minaj. 

A viral TikTok trend is blowing up, and it's all about recreating the rapper’s super iconic pose from her 2013 "High School" music video.

In the video, there’s a scene where she's next to a pool, crouched down low, with one leg crossed over the other, all while rocking a pair of crazy high platform heels.

What started with a fan just reposting the clip has turned into a wild challenge that's taking over everyone's feeds.

While her pose already looks tricky to get into, people are not simply copying it; they are doing it in the most insane ways possible. 

People are pushing their limits and their balance, striking the pose on top of stacked dumbbells, on wine bottles, and even on walls.

The more ridiculous and dangerous the spot, the more likes and shares it gets.

While it's tough to pinpoint who exactly started the trend, there are a few key videos that really left TikTokers stunned. 

With almost 15 million views, content creator Kristy Sarah made jaws drop as she effortlessly managed to balance on two dumbbells stacked on top of each other.

Then there’s dancer Bekah Burke, who not only executed the pose on top of a champagne bottle, but she did it wearing ballet point shoes and on the beach.

Of course, South Africans got in on the crazy trend with influencer Lasizwe striking the pose on top of a dining table while balancing on a Stanley cup and holding a cake in one hand.

Another South African, Lehlohonolo Mosala (@Hloniie_M), whose video reached five million views, is posing on top of an old iron balancing on a crate.

It's a fun, funny, and sometimes jaw-dropping challenge that has everyone trying to outdo each other, and we're totally here for it.
