Mary J. Blige flaunts her curves in photos of her birthday celebration on a yacht where she sizzles in a leopard-print bikini.

Mary J. Blige is roaring in her 40’s. The singer who just turned 48 channeled her animalistic vibes wearing a leopard print bikini during her birthday beach outing in Los Cabos, Mexico.

It’s #Capricornseason according to Blige who captioned a series of sizzling photos of her with the hashtag. Blige is currently on vacation celebrating her turning a year older and she has photos to prove she’s having a grand time cruising on a yacht with her girlfriends.

"The turn up was crazy!!! The love is always real!!!! We had a blast!!!"

She also seemed to be bringing the heat to her Instagram followers treating them to a great view of her gorgeous body dressed in a leopard-print two-piece.

In one of the photos she shared, she seductively leans by the side of the boat giving a glimpse of the sea behind her. Her large gold necklace and equally massive hoop earrings are also on display along with her hip Gucci sunglasses that shield her eyes from the glaring sun.

Blige’s “Birthday MOOD” was captured in other photos she shared. One of them revealed a group of girlfriends who are with her celebrating her milestone. She thanked them in her caption for the "blast" they had.

"Wow!!! What a birthday weekend celebration/girls trip with all my sisters!!!! The turn up was crazy!!! The love is always real!!!! We had a blast!!! I love all of you beyond!!! And miss you always!!! I also would like to thank everyone for all of your birthday wishes!! All of your love was received and I really appreciate you all!!"

She also shared a photo where she’s hugging one of them as captured by the lenses of photographer Robert Ector who she credited for her birthday snaps.

Earlier, Blige stunned in a pink animal print bikini while telling her followers in her caption that she’s “living my best [expletive] life.” She provocatively displayed her curves while basking under the sun.

It’s clear from the rapper’s vacation that turning 48 is a fabulous time in her life and with a knockout body to show for.

Blige once opened up to Shape magazine about the changes she made in order to stay fit. She revealed sticking to a strict and healthy diet and running outdoors for exercise. She also said she quit alcohol after Whitney Houston's death which became her wake-up call.

There's no denying the singer is at an all-time high as she nears 50. Apart from her stellar music career, her gorgeous body is an achievement she can definitely be proud of.
