Megan Thee Stallion Becomes First Rapper to Appear On The Cover of Sports Illustrated

Hip Hop culture continues to make history and Megan Thee Stallion appearing on the cover of the world’s largest and longest-running sports publication is certainly something to celebrate.

Megan and her hot body landed on the cover of the 2021 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, which is the first time that any notable from the Hip Hop community has confirmed that coveted spot. In an interview with People Magazine, Ms. Tina Snow responded to the news, saying, “When I got the call that they wanted me on the cover, I was like, ‘Wha—? Me?’ And to be the first female rapper on the swim cover makes it extra special. It feels amazing!”

Megan added, “My earliest memory of a SI Swimsuit cover was Tyra. I remember thinking, ‘Wow, this girl looks like me!’ Here is this stunning Black woman owning her curves and it made a big impact. It made me think, maybe I can be on the cover of SI Swim one day. And guess what — I am!”
