Azealia Banks is set to feature in a nude photoshoot for Playboy magazine.
Pitchfork reports that she will appear on the cover of the long-running adult magazine, shot by acclaimed photographer Ellen Von Unwerth. The issue will be available Stateside from March 20. Playboy have called the shoot a “frisky pictorial that’s sure to break the Internet”. A teaser image has been released, which sees a scantily clad Banks sporting a cat mask.
Last month Banks and Lupe Fiasco became involved in a heated exchange via Twitter. The disagreement first occurred when Banks seemingly took offence at a Fiasco tweet telling “young crazy emotional b***hes” to “chill da f**k out”. Banks responded by labelling Fiasco as a has-been and stating that her added publicity would make him more “relevant” than he’s been in years.
The 23-year-old Harlem rapper has also clashed with Iggy Azalea numerous times in recent months, criticising the Australian rapper for not commenting on the protests in Ferguson and New York following the deaths of Brown and Eric Garner.
