In a video posted to her Instagram last week, the sharp-talking Minaj made a bold statement by showing viewers just how one flies from London to Prague (on a private plane, of course). The kicker: her subtle choreography and over-the-top vibes. “Attention: this is how bad b—-es leave London and go to Prague. You b—-es can’t even spell Prague,” Minaj spat at the camera before strutting away and up to her plane, bedecked in a hot pink sweat suit. So now, legions of fans are following in her footsteps and filming their own fancy walks. Even stars like Zoe Kravitz and Kylie Jenner have gotten in on the action, showing viewers how they do anything from going to work to flying the friendly skies (in a non-private-jet, admittedly). Minaj is expected to [release a new album soon](http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/nicki-minaj-says-her-upcoming-album-is-the-best-shes-ever-done-news.33907.html). In the meantime, she’s been engaging in an extensive feud with [fellow rapper Remy Ma](http://time.com/4684737/nicki-minaj-remy-ma-rap-feud/?iid=sr-link5) and promoting recent singles [“No Frauds”](http://time.com/4746706/nicki-minaj-drake-lil-wayne-no-frauds-video/?iid=sr-link4) and “Run Up” at shows around the world. She’ll next be heard on [DJ Khaled](http://time.com/4820878/5-songs-you-need-to-listen-to-this-week-16/item/wild-thoughts-dj-khaled-feat-rihanna-and-bryson-tiller/)‘s album _Grateful_, [on which she features](http://pitchfork.com/news/70516-dj-khaleds-new-album-gratefuls-massive-tracklist-beyonce-jay-drake-rihanna-more/) on a track alongside Alicia Keys. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4824256/nicki-minaj-challenge/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4824256/nicki-minaj-challenge/"},"headline":"The Internet Is Going Full Diva With the #NickiMinajChallenge","datePublished":"2017-06-19T20:39:14.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:44:39.578Z","description":"The \"No Frauds\" rapper has inspired a legion of fans to copy her after sharing a video while en route from London to Prague.","url":"https://time.com/4824256/nicki-minaj-challenge/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","viral","Nicki Minaj"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf46e6aaf731437b6/6988d25c22fb856a9ee21a08/nicki-minaj.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf46e6aaf731437b6/6988d25c22fb856a9ee21a08/nicki-minaj.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Hot 107.9 Birthday Bash: Pop Up Edition","caption":"Hot 107.9 Birthday Bash: Pop Up Edition","creditText":"Paras Griffin—WireImage","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4824256/nicki-minaj-challenge/","name":"The Internet Is Going Full Diva With the #NickiMinajChallenge"}}]}] ```
