So who did it better? (Photo: Instagram)
Social media trends often revolve around dance moves, lip-syncing, or catchy memes. But this time, it’s about balance, confidence, and boldness. The latest viral challenge is based on a pose by rapper Nicki Minaj from her 2013 High School music video. In the video, Nicki bends in sky-high heels, crossing one leg over the other. The pose radiates power and style, which fans are now trying to recreate.
People are not just copying the pose; they are taking it to extremes. They are attempting the pose on risky objects like dumbbells, railings, and even mailboxes. Even Natasa Stankovic shared a video of her take on the viral trend. But was it Nicki Minaj who started it? Well, the Internet has a lot to say about it.
Enter Bollywood’s Vijay Raaz
Desis have put their twist on this viral trend. A social media page shared a clip from the 2007 Bollywood film Welcome featuring actor Vijay Raaz. In the scene, his character sits the same way, unintentionally striking a pose that looks similar to Nicki Minaj’s. Fans are now joking that Vijay Raaz started this trend long before TikTok even existed.
The Instagram clip came with the caption, “Nobody knew he started this trend first.”
Internet Reacts
The post triggered hilarious reactions online. One user wrote, “Didn’t see that coming.” Another joked, “Every great thing is always copied.”
Some even linked it to the long-running debate about cultural borrowing, writing, “White women gentrify everything — yoga, turmeric, chai latte, and now Bollywood’s casual sitting style.” Another comment read, “He did the trend even before trend was a thing.”
Many people also mocked Hollywood for “copying Bollywood ideas for years,” showing how quickly a fun challenge turned into a cultural meme war.
From Pose to Pop Culture Moment
Whether Nicki Minaj’s 2013 pose inspired TikTok users or Vijay Raaz unintentionally set the trend in 2007, the internet has turned this into a pop culture moment. What started as a fun TikTok challenge is now a full-blown meme battle with desi fans claiming, “We did it first.”
