“Challenge Suspended”: Woman’s Failed Nicki Minaj Pose Challenge Has South Africa Laughing

• A young and determined woman tried to partake in the Nicki Minaj pose challenge, but completely failed
• She used a can of paint and a brick in her attempt, which she performed outside in front of a shack
• The woman's video received millions of views when amused TikTok users saw how she struggled to balance herself

A young woman showed how she epically failed the viral Nicki Minaj pose challenge by trying to keep her balance, getting tons of views and laughter from social media users.

Last week, TikTok user @kamogelo10.gmail took to her account to show her take on the popular challenge, which she tried in front of a shack. The random object she chose to balance on was a can of paint. However, it seemed she didn't even need it as she failed to complete the challenge.

@kamogelo10.gmail tried her best to balance on the can, swapping feet throughout the process and bringing a brick into the mix by placing it on top of the tin. Unfortunately, that still didn't work, and she left it at that.

What is the Nicki Minaj pose challenge?

The Nicki Minaj pose challenge is an online trend that started on TikTok and is taking the internet by storm. The challenge uses the controversial rapper's 2013 song High School, featuring fellow rapper Lil Wayne, and the pose Nicki strikes in the music video.

The award-winning hitmaker sits poolside in a pink bikini and high heels with her legs crossed. She impressively shows both her heeled feet flat on the ground.

Many social media users have since recreated the pose and put a twist on it by balancing on unexpected objects, such as stacked dumbbells and beer cans, adding to the trend's virality.
