BLEACHED?: Fans worried that Nicki had lightened her skin

The hip-hop vixen took some time out of her hectic performance schedule for some quality time with her girlfriends, as well as fellow music moguls Ty Dolla $ign and DJ Carisma.

And it wasn't just the corks that were popping out as the gang posed for pictures.

In one shot, the star erupted from a tiny skintight gown, exposing the top of her nipple as her pals giggled away.

EYE-POPPING: Nicki showed off far more than her ink

Rocking a red pout, oversized gold earrings and of course her two favourite accessories (you know the ones we mean), the minx proved that looking good and behaving bad can definitely go hand-in-hand.

The curve-hugging dress also featured two daring sheer panels that showcased the A-lister's iconic booty – because why flaunt one set of assets when you can flaunt them all?

However, the pics left Nicki's 59 million Instagram followers divided.

BREAKING FREE: Nicki's assets just won't stay put

Most were quick to gush over her eye-popping figure.

"No-one can pull off a nip-slip like Nicki," one user gushed.

"OMG those boobs are everything," another added.

But others claimed the blonde has bleached her skin and was on a slippery slope to "whitewashing" herself.

IF YOU'VE GOT IT: Who can blame Nicki for flaunting it?

"She is starting to look like the next Lil Kim, needs to stop bleaching," one wrote.

"Looking so light these days, it's breaking my heart," another chimed in.

Nicki isn't the only star to be accused of lightening her complexion – former X-Factor runner-up Jahmene Douglas was hit with the same rumours earlier this month.
