Cheek! Nicki Minaj tweets rear-ly racy holiday pics

We knew she wasn't the shy and retiring type, but Nicki Minaj's holiday snaps are certainly not for the faint-hearted.

The American Idol judge has jetted off to a mystery tropical location, and has tweeted a series of revealing pics of the 'view' from her pool and seaside hotspot.

Dressed in a microscopic neon bikini and strappy white heels, Ms Minaj is busy shooting a new music video for her latest release, Freaks, a collaboration with rapper French Montana, reports The Sun.

We just hope she doesn't become the butt of all her friends' jokes (sorry)...

She's not the only star enjoying some sun-time. Over in Dubai, Abbey Crouch flaunted her teeny bikini body as she soaked up the rays and frolicked on the beach with hubby Peter Crouch.
