Nicki Minaj dropped some bootylicious cover art for her upcoming single "Anaconda" on Instagram. At first the shot of Nicki's hot bod drew massive criticism. The media had to put big NSWF warnings all over the pic. Minaj was hit with charges that it was too racy, kinda raunchy and totally raw.

Then it came out that the Nicki Minaj got back ... at her detractors, saying she wasn't showing any more than you'd see on the average Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover.

Katy Perry took to Twitter to gush "I wanna take a nap on dat pillow doe @NICKIMINAJ"

Ah, but then it came out that those totally raw Nicki pix weren't that raw at all while Nicki Minaj "Anaconda" photoshop charges were leveled. Those racy pictures were enhanced. Pre-photoshop images came out showing a darker, flabbier Nicki.

The new pre-Photoshopped version has fans looking the other way. Nicki's origina "Anaconda" artwork on her Instagram page last week, and it quickly went viral. But MediaTakeOut's shot of what it claims to be the "Anaconda" cover art Photoshop was done unto it.

The Nicki Minaj photoshop story prompted hundreds of take-offs. They aren't hard to find. My personal favorite is the SpongeBob one.

Nicki Minaj hit Instagram booty first on July 24. Like the mythological powers of the Anaconda snake, that picture hypnotized all who looked. Including Big Sean, who tweeted Tweeted "Now every time I perform it I'm a think of this https://instagram.com/p/q2VOd7j2in/."

Nicki captioned the Instagram melter "7/28 ANACONDA on ITunes @nickiminaj ...Already know !!"

Minaj then posted a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover featuring Chrissy Teigen. Who is now being hit with the fallout.

"I just landed and I have a Nicki Minaj fans going absolutely bats**t on me. No idea why," Teigen told her Twitter followers.
