That's one way to break the news! Nicki Minaj displays her voluptuous body in flimsy pink bikini to announce the delay of new single
Hip-hop artist Nicki Minaj caused an uncomfortable stir when she posted the cover art for her new single – a photo of herself from the back, squatting seductively in a hit pink bikini.
She released another photo from the same set Sunday – but this one from the front – to tell fans the release of Anaconda will be a week late
'My darlingz, I’ve pushed the release of Anaconda to next week, Monday 8/4,' the 31-year-old captioned the Instagram photo.

Hippity-hop: Rapper Nicki Minaj released another hot pink bikini shot Sunday on Instagram - but from a less racy front angle
'I promise you will understand why before the week is out.'
The new shot shows the curvaceous entertainer standing on a pink yoga mat in a matching pink bikini. Off to one side is a large pink exercise ball, on the other, a pair of five-pound pink dumbbells.
As in the original snap, Nicki is wearing high top blue trainers.
The image of her backside, which she posted a week ago, was branded as overly explicit.
Buzz girl: The 31-year-old singer is as famous for showing off her curves as she is for her songs. She wore this hip-hugging dress to the 2014 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas May 18
But The Beauty And A Beat hitmaker responded that the pose of her ample backside was no more 'unacceptable' than similar images of white models.
To prove her point, the BET Award winner posted several images of Sports Illustrated models, including Kate Upton, striking poses that were equally racy.
She wore her hair loose and wavy and kept her make-up to a minimum, and accessorized with numerous rings.
Pills N Potions, the first single off her upcoming album, The Pink Print, was released in May and became an instant success.
