She might want to Check It Out! Nicki Minaj suffers wardrobe malfunction on stage as her nipple covers pop out on view

She may have only kicked off the UK leg of her Pink Friday: Reloaded gig on Sunday night, but Nicki Minaj has already been flashing her assets to thousands of onlookers.

Taking to the stage at Manchester's MEN Arena on Monday night, the Super Bass hitmaker flashed a little more flesh than she bargained for as she appeared in a skimpy black bustier.

Performing a series of energetic dance moves, the rapper didn't seem to notice as her flower-shaped nipple covers popped out for all to see.

And although she appeared to ignore the embarrassing mishap as she continued with her show, she later addressed the overexposure to the crowd.

She joked: 'You guys have seen my boobs before. You won't tell anyone, will you?'

But it was no surprise the star failed to preserve her modesty, as the black bustier puffball-style dress left little to the imagination when it came to her seemingly uncontrollable cleavage.

The previous evening at Nottingham's Capital FM Arena, Nicki warned audience members that she and her dancers could be exposing a little more than anticipated throughout the show.

She said: 'This is our first show so excuse any boobs popping out or any penises popping out!'

Despite the wardrobe malfunction, the R&B star seemed delighted with her performance and was full of praise for her British fans.

Writing on her Twitter page after the show, she said: 'all i can say is there's no place like the uk =P.

'Just had the time of my life in Manchester. Cant begin to describe their energy... Unbelievable... #PinkFridayRELOADEDTour.'

The Starships hitmaker was joined at the Manchester leg of her tour by 2011 X Factor star Misha B, who showed off her newly svelte figure in a red velvet top and black leather miniskirt.

And the 20-year-old starlet admitted her recent weight-loss was the result of a strict diet and exercise regime.

She told new! magazine: 'I've definitely dropped a dress size. I started eating properly and I joined a gym near to where I live, so I try and go as often as possible.'

But it wasn't just Misha joining Nicki on the Manchester leg of her Pink Friday: Reloaded tour, with a whole host of other stars turning out to support the musical duo.
