She’s not known for her demure dress-sense, but Nicki Minaj really excelled herself as she performed at Circuit of The Americas on Friday.

The rapper and singer sported a black and white skin тιԍнт ensemble, that brought her fantastic cleavage to the fore.

With a checkered stripe running through the trousers and top, it certainly made the heart beat faster as she sang and danced up a storm for the Austin crowd.

Crowds of 160,000 attended the stunt-sports extravaganza with Metallica also headlining on the main stage.

The star belted through her set-list with characteristic energy and panache, working the stage with her backing dancers who were also dressed in skin тιԍнт black and white sporty numbers.

Minaj wore her long extensions up in a high pony-tail, reminiscent of Madonna on her Nineties Blonde Ambition tour.

With flick eyed make-up, and bright pink lipstick, she finished off her fetishistic look with sky high black lace-up boots.

Always one to put on a good show, the rapper was in great form, working the crowd, and looking as Sєxy as ever.

For extra bling her microphone was encrusted with powder pink Swarovski crystals and her earpiece was a bright cherry red.

Eagle-eyed fans also spotted that the curvy songstress wasn’t wearing her engagement ring promoting rumors of a split from her beau.

The 15-carat heart-shaped white and yellow diamond ring was presented to her by rapper boyfriend Meek Mill last month.

After the gig, the rapper took to Instagram to thank her fans, saying ‘Had a blast performing at the #XGames tonight. Kisses to all my babies for coming out’ [sic].

She told the June issue of Cosmopolitan: ‘Ten years from now, I will have two children, unless my husband wants three.’
‘I will be into my fitness a lot more, I will stop yo-yo dieting, and I’ll be a housewife with careers that I can run from home.

‘I want to be able to cook for my children, bake cookies for them, and watch them grow up. I just want to be Mommy.

‘Take them to school, go to the parent-teacher conference, help them with their homework, and put their work on the refrigerator.’

The singer may be keen to settle down and start a family, but with her hectic schedule it doesn’t look like it will be any time soon.

She will be touring throughout July, including performances at the Wireless Festival in Finsbury Park, North London before moving on to Italy and France.

She will then head back to the US before touring in Canada.
