She caused
a sensation when she released a photo of herself squatting seductively
in a pink bikini for the cover art of her new single Anaconda.
But Nicki Minaj took a more modest approach while on the set of her latest music video in Los Angeles on Saturday.
The
31-year-old hid her stellar physique underneath a white towel but still
managed to give a glimpse of her sculpted legs in black leather strappy
heels.

Nicki could be seen walking around the set, first with the towel under her arms and then with it wrapped around her shoulders.
She wore her dark locks parted down the middle with natural makeup and a pair of large gold hoop earrings.
The
Starships singer was accompanied by longtime boyfriend Safaree Samuels,
who stayed close decked out in a red cap, white T-shirt, black jeans
and white sneakers.

Following
the controversial cover art snap, she released another photo from the
same set last week – but this one from the front – to tell fans the
release of Anaconda would be late.
'My darlingz, I’ve pushed the release of Anaconda to next week, Monday 8/4,' the 31-year-old captioned the Instagram photo.

After its release, the cover art image of her backside was branded as overly explicit.
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.
Queens: Nicki is featured on the remix of Beyonce's Flawless

intense verse spewing strong words and declaring herself the 'queen of rap.'
As
if all that wasn't enough, the petite songstress also appears on the
new single Bang Bang with Jessie J and Ariana Grande, which is currently
