A transgender hip-hop singer who calls herself 'Black Madam' and is suspected of killing a British student with a botched bottom implant has been arrested in connection with another illegal enhancement procedure.

The 42-year-old, also known as Padge-Victoria Windslowe, was about to host a 'pumping party' at a home in Philadelphia when she was apprehended last night, police said.

Officers obtained a warrant for her arrest after a 23-year-old woman nearly died of complications caused by an implant allegedly made by Windslowe a few weeks ago.

Windslowe, who is suspected of killing Claudia Aderotimi with a botched implant last year, was arrested after a 23-year-old woman nearly died of complications said to have been caused by another implant

The unidentified woman was treated for a blocked artery in the lung and spent seven days in hospital.

Windslowe is a suspect in the February 2011 death of Thames Valley University student Claudia Aderotimi, who died after flying to the U.S. for a 'butt boost' operation.

The 20-year-old from Hackney, east London, paid $2,000 but had a heart attack after complaining of chest pains within hours of the botched silicone jab in a cheap hotel room.

Windslowe has not been charged in that case because police are still awaiting the results of a toxicology test of the injected substance.

Police placed Windslowe under surveillance when they received information that she was to host a 'pumping party', where women receive black market bottom implants.

Lt John Walker, of Philadelphia police, said: 'It's similar to the Aderotimi case. What allegedly happened is Padge Victoria injected her, hit a blood vessel. The substance entered her bloodstream, goes through and lands in her lungs.'

Windslowe had needles, paper towels, cotton wool balls, Super Glue and a 0.6 litre water bottle containing an unknown substance on her person when she was arrested, police said.

The water bottle is believed to have contained the substance she was planning to inject during the 'pumping party'.

Lt Walker said no injections had been administered in the house, which contained five other people at the time.

Windslowe, who has several aliases, went on the run last year allegedly after learning Miss Aderotimi, her 'patient', died from the botched injection aimed at giving her a curvier rear.

The Briton dreamed of becoming a star dancer in raunchy hip-hop videos.

She died in hospital from a liver failure just hours after the operation had been carried out.

Shortly after her death, a YouTube video emerged in which  Miss Aderotimi and a friend stuff pillows down their trousers to make their bottoms appear bigger.
