Nicki Minaj Prepares for Wardrobe Malfunction on UK Stage

Nicki Minaj had a wardrobe malfunction during a performance for her U.K concert tour, but thankfully the star planned ahead and avoided a nip slip.

Both Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian’s mom have made headlines after their nip slips, but Nicki wasn’t going to join in on the nipple exposing this time.

When she hit the stage at the Manchester’s MEN Arena on Monday, her black puff ball dress started to slip down a little farther than she had hoped.

Earlier this year the “Starships” crooner’s boobs slipped out during a performance on Good Morning America, but she seemed to have learned her lesson.

This time when her well endowed breasts popped free, the singer had already placed flower shaped pasties over her nipples in an attempt to keep a bit of her modesty.

The rapper turned pop star performed on as if she wasn’t even aware of the wardrobe malfunction while her fans continued to snap photos of the embarrassing incident.

At the end of the performance, however, the “Pound the Alarm” rapper called out to the crowd saying, “You guys have seen my boobs before. You won’t tell anyone, will you?”

Needless to say, the Barbs definitely told.

At first glance, the well placed flower shaped stickers seem to be Minaj’s way of making sure she didn’t have any more photos of her nipple circulating on the internet, but several other people believe it was just a cry for attention.

“She obviously knew they were going to pop out if she had nipple covers on in the first place,” Alex accused on the Daily Mail blog. “Attention seeker.”

According to the 29-year-old she actually was well aware that her boobs were likely to spill out from under the black corset like top of the poofy dress, but claimed it wasn’t because she wanted (or needed) any attention.

“This is our first show so excuse any boobs popping out or any penises popping out,” the R&B star warned her fans.

Of course, instead of going through with the performance with pasties, it would have made much more sense to just change the outfit if she knew ahead of time that the dress was ill fitting.

Either way, her British fans still showed how much they adored her and gave the quirky performer lots of love during and after the concert.

“Just had the time of my life in Manchester,” the wig loving rapper tweeted. “Can’t begin to describe their energy… Unbelievable… #PinkFridayRELOADEDTour.”

The question still remains on if fans were screaming because they just loved the new American Idol judge’s music or if they really were just yelling for her to put the girls away.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
