Shortly after Kim Kardashian flaunted her post-pregnancy body online, exposing her side boob and well-known curvy backside, rapstress Nicki Minaj upstages it with her own shocking selfies. The 31-year-old hip-hop superstar bared her bosom in new self-taken photographs which she posted on her Instagram on Thursday, October 17.

With only a pair of leopard-print star-cut pasties and a few gold chains placed over her voluptuous chest area, Minaj posted the photo along with the message, "Should I add #Pasties to the Spring Collection????" The question was addressed to followers in reference to her collection for K-Mart and shopyourway.com.

In another photo, she turned her fish face impression into a gnashing-teeth expression and captioned it with, "putting this one on a T-Shirt." Perhaps Minaj got the idea for pasties from another daring singer, Miley Cyrus, who wore black pasties in a recent performance in New York to mark the release of her new "Bangerz" album.

Minaj's latest stunt took a cue from Lil' Kim who wore purple seashell pasties while walking the red carpet of the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards. For wearing the leopard-print pasties, Minaj managed to carefully hide her nipples, perhaps to get over the nip slip she had during her K-Mart fashion launch in Los Angeles. Minaj said her new collection included stuff that she herself would love to wear.
