A 32-year-old Russian woman, Mariana Barutkina, fractured her spine while attempting the viral Nicki Minaj stiletto challenge just weeks after giving birth.
In a video she shared online, she tried to perform a deep squat while wearing heels on a stack of unstable household items.
The items included a baby formula container placed on a sauce pot, all balanced on top of a kitchen counter.
During the attempt, she lost her balance and fell off the counter, resulting in a serious back injury.
Doctors diagnosed her with a Th9 compression fracture in her spine.
Barutkina, a new content creator, later reflected on the incident, saying life often tests people in unexpected ways.
The challenge, inspired by a pose from Nicki Minaj’s “High School” music video, has led many influencers to attempt similar risky stunts in hopes of going viral.
