Draya Michele went extra-racy with her latest bikini update, basically setting Instagram ablaze. The 35-year-old reality star and swimwear designer opted out of promoting her popular Mint Swim line on Monday, instead taking to Instagram in an eye-popping and figure-flaunting two-piece from affordable clothing brand Oh Polly.

Draya has already made headlines today for stripping down to a sexy black bra after cooking up a feast of fried chicken, mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, and boiled greens – if Draya has been chowing down on the fried food, she's definitely been working it off. Her shot showed one toned body, although the killer curves were all there.

Draya's photo showed her knocking the camera dead as she flaunted her gym-honed body in a super-tight and tiny black bikini with a one-sleeved finish and a cut-out chest panel that was setting a new bar for the underboob-flashing. The "Basketball Wives L.A." alum was nonetheless classy as she posed in the high-waisted simwear, flaunting her insane curves as she gazed ahead from behind a metallic pair of shades reflecting a pool.

A caption from Draya took the witty route.

"Tan lines not strong enough.

Need more sun.

@ohpolly @ohpollyswim," she wrote.

Draya's update generated a massive response. Over 168,000 likes were left in under a day, with the comments section bursting at the seams – apparently, with fans who just couldn't take the heat.

"I gotta get off the internet before I faint," one fan wrote.

"Whewwwww," another said, with fire emoji.

"Damnnnn sis! ???" was another comment, with one user simply saying: "Omfg"

The update comes just days after ex-fiancé Orlando Scandrick claimed not to know who his baby momma was – "“Who is that?" he wrote when a fan said: 'Man I hate that you are not with @drayamichele But I get it. Just keep going you and great things will happen."

Pay on Instagram directly correlates with following – the bigger the fanbase, the higher the paycheck. Experts over at Vox broke down the potential pay, although these are only estimates.

"Influencers with up to 1 million followers can get $10,000 [per post], depending on the platform, and 1 million followers and up, you’re getting into territory where they can charge $100,000. Some can even get $250,000 for a post! Especially if the content is on Youtube and the influencer is in the gaming industry."

Draya has 7.9 million Instagram followers and is also a brand ambassador for Rihanna's Savage x Fenty lingerie range.

Draya's bikinis have been making headlines. February saw the star jet off to The Bahamas for a high-profile pool party, with 23-year-old model and girlfriend to rapper Future, Lori Harvey also in attendance. Lori shared footage of Draya jamming poolside, although Draya didn't miss out on the chance to mark her moment on Instagram. Her red-hot bikini shot even came captioned with a shout-out to 42-year-old rapper Kanye West.

"Damn, they don't make 'em like this anymore," she wrote.

Draya founded her Mint Swim brand with just $12,000, then watching it grow into a million-dollar company by 2017. The swimwear received a high-profile boost in 2019 as 22-year-old billionaire Kylie Jenner featured it during her Turks & Caicos "Kylie Skin Summer Trip."
