Chain reaction! Nicki Minaj squeezes her famous figure into a skintight printed jumpsuit for Powerhouse event

Nicki Minaj is a big fan of the shock factor, especially when it comes to her outfits.

And the rapper didn't disappoint in a cleavage-bearing gold chain jumpsuit for a New York City event on Saturday.

The garment was black with a gold chain print that ensured the 30-year-old stood out when she attended Power 105.1's Powerhouse 2013, presented by Play GIG-IT, at the Barclays Center.
She wore her hair long and straight and her dark roots were quite visible, but Nicki didn't seem to mind.

Nicki's makeup was heavy and her fake eyelashes stood out much like her bright pink lipstick.

Holding a drink in hand, the rapper posed for photographs with other celebrities including rapper Lore'l and TV personality Yandy Smith.

The star has defended creating her clothing line despite having no experience in the fashion industry.

The rapper said skepticism of stars lacking formal design training is 'understandable,' but she insists it's 'not about being a designer.'

Nicki explained that her intention is simply to make clothes that she would love to wear.
