Nicki Minaj recently gave her fans a mix of humor and honesty when she attempted the viral stiletto challenge but quickly discovered her outfit wasn’t quite up for the task. The challenge, set to her 2013 hit “High School,” involves striking a confident pose in high heels, often testing balance and style.
Nicki’s Hilarious Stiletto Challenge Attempt
Sharing clips on Instagram, Nicki showed herself holding onto surfaces near a pool as she struggled to maintain the tricky pose while wearing a short Chanel dress.
“Dear Barbz, about that pose…. Ummm,” she captioned the post. “This Chanel dress was just a tad shorter than I thought & the th*ngs definitely didn’t help. Didn’t want to make it explicit.”
Despite the wardrobe challenge, Nicki assured fans:
“Both feet on the ground tho. Ten toes.”
She promised to give the challenge another shot in a more suitable outfit:
“Ima put on a diff outfit that won’t show so much skin & do it again for you guys later.”
Fans showered her with support and laughter, celebrating the Queen’s relatable moment.
Fiery Feud with SZA Heats Up Social Media
While Nicki kept things lighthearted with the stiletto challenge, tensions flared online between her and fellow artist SZAlast month. The feud began after Nicki posted sharp criticisms of SZA on X (formerly Twitter).
On July 15, Nicki wrote:
“SZA if every song you’ve ever done vanished right now the music business wouldn’t even miss you. I’ve been to countries that never heard of you.”
She followed with another harsh comment about SZA’s music style:
“B-ch what have you ever done besides yodel with auto tune that needed retuning?”
The feud reportedly started after SZA took a subtle jab at Nicki’s independent record label. Initially, SZA responded calmly:
“Mercury retrograde … don’t take the bait lol silly goose.”
But Nicki fired back with a snarky reply:
“Go draw your freckles back on bookie #JusticeForDemoree #DepositionPerez Liar liar pants on fire. Sounding like a [f—ing] dead dog.”
SZA clarified she wasn’t targeting anyone personally:
“I wasn’t even talking about or to anyone. I had just got off stage talkin bout retrograde. F— YES IM MAD NOW DO YOU NEED THAT !??”
The exchange escalated as Nicki compared their careers:
“Did you look at the venues I played on my OWN headlined FESTIVAL tour out of the country last year? Bi-ch have you ever headlined to 80K ppl?”
She ended her tirade with:
“Boo im an icon. You’re not. The end. You the type that would’ve been quiet in school trying to fit in. You still have no clue who you are!”
