Nicki Minaj has been receiving raves for her “Pink Friday 2” tour looks, but this is probably not how she wanted her fashion to make headlines. On Friday, during a performance in Orlando, Fla., the “Fly” artist experienced an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction. She handled it like a total pro, though she wasn’t happy with the Barbz for keeping her in the dark.
In a fan video captured from the show, things got tricky when Minaj interacted with fans, letting them sing lines from “The Night Is Still Young.” When she pulled the mic back from one particularly excited fan, the top of her dress—which was already dangerously loose—fell down, exposing her breast.
Nicki’s jacket and hair mostly kept her covered. She also put her hand over her breast when she noticed what was going on. As she adjusted the dress and put her breast back in place, the “Fly” rapper mouthed, “Oh my God, my boob.”
Amidst the shocking moment, Nicki still had the stage presence to laugh at the situation, joking, “Meanwhile my boob is out and no one fucking told me, thanks Barbz. My whole boob was out, see that’s what I get for talking about people.”
Look, everyone’s human and these things happen during live shows. There’s a lot of wear and tear that happens to costumes during a big tour. Though, it’s a little questionable that she’s having issues this early. Her outfits really shouldn’t be falling apart already.
No matter what you think of the “Barbie World” rapper, she handled everything the right way. She quickly covered up, joked about it and moved on. This downplays the situation and takes away the trolls’ ability to make a huge deal out of it.
Minaj joins Janet Jackson, Salma Hayek, Sherri Shepherd, and most recently, Oscar winner Emma Stone, as stars who’ve famously had wardrobe malfunctions in front of the whole world.
