Janelle Monáe proved she knows how to work a crowd. During the recent Essence Festival in New Orleans, a strategically-timed stunt had the audience going nuts. Yes, she flashed her breast to the oh-so-thirsty crowd.
The singer’s tiny yet tasteful black-and-white ensemble made quite the impression. As the entertainer performed her track “Yoga,” she geared up for the juicy reveal. While she sang “get off my a#####,” she simultaneously lifted up the side of her triangular top.
Of course, an ample breast was nearly on full display, although a properly placed pink pasty hid the nipple. Keep in mind, Monaé is often celebrated for her body positive stance.
During a candid interview, Janelle Monáe mentioned being “much happier when my t###ies are out,” according to Rolling Stone. So, the chanteuse effectively doubled down on her thoughts.
Keep in mind, the musician’s latest release—The Age of Pleasure—also depicted a censored view of her chest. Perhaps, this au natural version of the artist is her most desired one. Who knows?
Obviously, Janelle Monáe has been afforded the opportunity to share her creativity and her curves. The question remains, how much is the public willing to accept?
