The pose, which involves one leg placed over the other while seated poolside in high heels, has recently resurfaced online and sparked a global challenge.
Amosun, dressed casually and smiling throughout the clip, made several attempts at recreating the pose and even laughed at herself in the process.
“I was on the bed thinking that, ‘that thing, is it that difficult?’ I now got up and said ‘let me try it,’” she said.
How the Nicki Minaj challenge started
The trend originated when a fan reposted a clip from Nicki Minaj’s High School music video from 2013, where the rapper posed by the pool in a carefully balanced stance.
The throwback clip quickly gained traction online, sparking a wave of recreations by fans and celebrities alike.
According to the Hindustan Times, the challenge has gone viral across platforms, with thousands of users attempting to mimic the now-iconic pose.

The video of Mrs Amosun’s attempt has sparked a flurry of comments from Nigerians on social media, particularly Facebook.
While some praised her for being lively and relatable, others questioned the appropriateness of the act given her age and social status.
Raymond Solar Iwuji wrote,
“Na overfeeding dey worry her."
While Bolaji Dada added,
“You can keep doing that every minute because you are not hungry or thinking of how to get a meal.”
Another user, Olumide Adewoye, commented,
“At what age?”
However, others came to her defence. Victor Chinaemerem said,
“Let’s appreciate her biko. This was beautiful to watch. Whether she’s the wife of a pauper or a politician, the demure she served alone is 🔥🔥.”
Mulero Ademola called her
“Our own MOREMI, the minister of home affairs,” and added, “Mummy never ages. God bless you Ma.”
Some commenters urged people to see the fun side of the video and not overanalyse it.
Solomon Thomas wrote,
“Life is short. Extra curriculum activities are necessary. Above all, try to stay happy and give yourself peaceful joy!”
Another Facebook user, Marvellous Imafidon Okungbowa, added,
“Abeg have fun, enjoy life, live life to the fullest. No matter how evil we think our leaders are, there are some persons that will be forever grateful that they entered power. One man’s good is another man’s poison.”
