NICKI MINAJ GIVES THE BRONX A PRESENT FOR CHRISTMAS!

Instead of ripping open presents on Christmas Day, Nicki Minaj dressed up in leopard-print armor to tear apart the New York stage.

The festively festooned 26-year-old hip hop star performed alongside Fabolous and Lloyd Banks at Hot 97's Christmas Concert in New York at the Paradise Theater.

Sporting her trademark bubblegum pink lips and two-toned hair (bleached blonde and dark brown), the Trinidadian songstress wore a skintight leopard bodysuit covered in what appeared to be black bits of crinoline armor.

Black boning threaded through the front of the bodysuit and around Minaj's legs then shot out at the hips and shoulders to create crinoline style hoops in a 21st-century nod to 19th century petticoats.

This isn't the first time Minaj has worn a frock with bizarre outcroppings. At the American Music Awards in November, she wore a fluorescent pink dress with 3D gold outcroppings that appeared as though they made up part of the dress’ machine-style design.
