Nicki Minaj suffered a horribly awkward wardrobe malfunction as she took to the stage at the weekend.

The singer's excruciatingly-tight PVC knickers left very little to the imagination as she performed at the 2018 BET Awards.

The Anaconda hitmaker was looking as hot as ever in a tight red leather-esque outfit.

The ensemble featured an extreme plunging neckline to emphasise the star's cleavage, tight leather knickers that emphasised something else, and a little bit of skirting, as well as thigh-high boots.

The singer's blonde hair had flashes of bright colour in it and she made quite the entrance as she strutted onto the stage at the ceremony, in Los Angeles.

Unfortunately for Nicki, she suffered a rather embarrassing wardrobe malfunction that left her with quite an obvious camel toe.

In another picture, Nicki seems to have noticed what's going on down there and covers her private area with her hand as she pulls a shocked look on her face.

Nicki also swapped to a pink outfit as she climbed on top of a giant glitter-covered pink horse.

Nicki has been making a lot of headlines recently, mostly over her rumoured romance with rapper Eminem .

Last month, it looked like they'd finally arranged a first day after flirting up a storm on social media.

It all started when a fan asked Nicki if she was dating the rapper - real name Marshall Mathers - and she jokingly replied 'yes'.

But it then kick-started one of the biggest ever will-they-won't-theys in the history of musical romance.

Then Eminem made his intentions very clear live on stage at Boston Calling music festival.

During his set, Eminem stopped to talk to the crowd, telling the thousands of people there: "I want to take this time now to give a shout to my bae Nicki Minaj."

The crowd erupted into cheers as he continued: "Sweetheart, I'll be home tonight to figure this s**t out, how we gonna do this."

The 45-year-old continued: "Yo Boston, how many people in here want me to date Nicki Minaj?"

Everyone screamed with delight.

The rapper went on: "So, wait, one more time, let me make sure so I actually make this official. How many people in Boston want me to date Nicki Minaj?"

Again, everyone cheered.

"Goddammit, me too," he told his fans.

The video was tweeted to Nicki, 35, from a radio station account along with the message: "Yo @NICKIMINAJ! @Eminem wants you to text him back to talk about this....."

She quoted it, adding: "LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. The fact that he’s silly & a goof just like me. Love him so much. Em we need you on the # Queen album. That’s where our 1st date will be; at the studio while I gaze into ur beautiful eyes as u write ur verse."

So now, they're either finally going to hook up or they're going to collaborate on her new album, Queen.
