Ciara has officially entered the chat and dominated the viral “Nicki Minaj pose challenge,” leaving her fans stunned. 

The singer, dancer, and mom of four proved she’s still very much that girl by flawlessly recreating the now-iconic pose from Nicki Minaj’s 2013 “High School” music video. 

In the original clip, Minaj strikes a fierce squat pose beside a pool while wearing towering platform heels.

What started as a jaw-dropping moment in pop culture has become a full-blown viral challenge, with fans and celebs alike trying to top each other in creativity and difficulty.

Ciara, like so many others, took the challenge to the next level. 

Dressed in a sleek, all-black outfit paired with sky-high Christian Louboutin Condora heels, she added her own twist by balancing on two dumbbells.

And as if that wasn’t enough, she casually held a bottle of water in one hand, making it look like a walk in the park.

Personally, standing and walking in those killer heels would be a balancing act in itself.

The trend has seen people pulling off the daring pose on some seriously wild props. 

We’re talking wine bottles, Stanley cups, chairs, countertops, and even a mailbox. The more outrageous the setup, the more likes and shares.

With almost 15 million views, one of the first videos to go viral was by Kristy Sarah, who, just like Ciara, executed the pose on dumbbells.

With the challenge still trending across social media, it’s clear this isn’t just about striking a pose. It has become a test of balance, creativity, and confidence.
