The "Feeling Myself" rapper's brother tied the knot to Jacqueline Robinson, Hello reported. The 32-year-old took extra efforts not to upstage the bride on her big day. Minaj looked red hot in a dress by Alexander McQueen.

She took to Instagram and thanked the designer for her dress and also thanked her stylist Ruksha Bergman for styling the bride. The rapper's dress featured a plunging neckline and long sleeves. The dress was cinched at the waist with a thigh-high slit in the front.

Minaj accessorized her look with long diamond earrings and the huge mega carat white and yellow heart-shaped sparkler given by her boyfriend Meek Mill. She left her hair loose with a high up do and her signature bangs.

Sources said that Minaj arrived early for the wedding along with her seven security guards, makeup artists, a photographer, and a few friends.

The proud sister shared a number of photos from her brother's big day on Instagram with her 32.3 million followers, including a sweet snap of her and Jelani hugging. "Jelani, I love u more than you'll ever comprehend," she captioned the picture.

 I would cross the ocean for u. I would go & bring u the moon. Promise u. For u I will. I love my brother so much man. Can't believe I cried during his wedding and his first dance like a punk. May God bless him and his union. Tonight has been one of my favorite nights of all time. I do anything to see my brothers smile.

She shared that she cried at her brother's wedding, adding that it was one of her favorite nights. The rapper said that she would do anything to catch a smile of Jelani's face. She said that she could cross the ocean and bring the moon for him.

Meanwhile, the singer reportedly left an Emilio Pucci gown worth $11,000 at the venue of the wedding, which was at Coral House in the Big Apple. The owner of the property Butch Yamali told Page Six that he got calls from people who wanted to claim the dress. But, he added that since the gown was very expensive, he wanted to hand it directly to Minaj or someone from her family.

Sources said that Nicki had decided against wearing the bronze dress and ended up leaving it in a bag in the bridal suite. Her stylist Bergman reportedly arranged for designers to loan the dresses to the star and made arrangements to pick it up.
