Inside the magazine, the Savage hitmaker wore a pink petal-themed bikini top, with green bottoms.
Stallion spoke to PEOPLE about the honor, 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.’
While saying the shoot itself was ‘magical’ the rapper admitted a lot of hard work went into her sculpted physique.
‘I had been training for months and I was super prepared. I got into the shoot right away. [Photographer] James [Macari] said he usually doesn’t get into the water until the fourth or fifth set-up, but we were both in the ocean from the start.’
She added: ‘The day was perfect and I had a blast.’
