Influencer and new mom Mariana Vasiuc actually broke her spine trying to do the Nicki Minaj stiletto challenge! I know, it sounds wild, but apparently, she was trying to walk in those crazy high heels like Nicki does in her music video. Talk about dedication to the gram!
In an Instagram clip, influencer Mariana Vasiuc can be seen balancing on top of a tub of baby formula, stacked on top of a saucepan, while wearing a pair of high heels. Off to the side, someone holds her hand as she attempts to solo balance on a kitchen counter.
However, almost as soon as she lets go of the hand, she loses her balance and the saucepan slides out from underneath her, causing her to topple off the back of the counter.
In a since-deleted caption, the influencer shed light on the outcome of the fall, writing that she had sustained a compression flexion fracture.
“Irony? Karma? Or just life, which always tests our strength at the most unexpected moment. 🤣, ” the influencer wrote lightheartedly in the caption.
The trend is inspired by a pose that rapper Nicki Minaj does in the music video for her 2013 song “High School,” featuring Lil Wayne, where she balances on high heels next to a pool. Recently, it has taken TikTok by storm, with people practicing their balancing skills on all sorts of objects.
The lesson here is to definitely think twice before attempting any crazy challenges you see online. Safety first, people! And let’s all send some good vibes and well wishes to Mariana for a speedy recovery. Stay safe out there, influencers!
