Russian influencer breaks spine trying viral Nicki Minaj-inspired TikTok challenge

A Russian mommy blogger broke her spine while attempting the viral Nicki Minaj stiletto challenge that has taken TikTok by storm.

Mariana Barutkina, 32, an aspiring influencer with just over 1,200 followers on Instagram, tried the “Super Bass” singer-inspired trend just weeks after giving birth — ending up back in the doctor’s office after taking a scary tumble, TMZ reported.

Video posted by Barutkina on Instagram shows her attempting to one-foot squat in heels on a baby formula container, which is balanced on a sauce pot that is itself placed on a marble-topped kitchen island.

The pot slips and the self-confessed newbie mommy blogger falls backwards off the counter and towards the ground causing the serious injury.

“I decided to start blogging, the first content shooting – and here I am leaving the doctor diagnosed with ‘Th9 compression bending uncomplicated fracture of the body,’” Barutkina wrote in the caption.

“The irony? Karma? Or just life, which always tests our strength at the most unexpected moment.”

Barutkina was attempting the acrobatic “Nicki Minaj ‘High School’ Challenge,” which sees wannabe influencers and trend-hoppers recreate the Bronx rapper’s iconic pose from the 2013 music video “High School.”

Many posers add levels of difficulty in bids to go viral — including balancing in heels on stacked dumbbells, on stacked bottles of wine, and even traffic cones.
