The April issue of Playboy Magazine featuring Azealia Banks on the cover has surfaced on the Internet.
Banks tweeted an image of the cover Friday (March 13), with a caption that credited erotic photographer Ellen Von Unwerth.
“@Playboy COVER by Ellen Von Unwerth on stands next Friday!” she wrote, teasing her followers that even more can be expected.
Last month, Playboy issued a statement via Playboy.com, confirming that the Broke With Expensive Taste rapper would grace the cover and pose nude for the men’s lifestyle magazine in April.
According to Playboy’s editors, Banks took part in a “frisky pictorial that’s sure to break the Internet.” The cover story was penned by Rob Tannebaum.

UPDATE: Azealia Banks’ “Wild and Uncensored” Playboy cover story has been released via Playboy.com. Banks covers a wide range of topics within the question-and-answer interview. She speaks on her sex life, racism and her musical endeavors, among other topics.
The Broke With Expensive rapper says Jay Z is the only artist whose career she would like to emulate. She name-drops a few others that have reached success, but in a “nonthreatening black person” type of way.
“The race thing always comes up, but I want to get there being very black and proud and boisterous about it,” Banks says. “A lot of times when you’re a black woman and you’re proud, that’s why people don’t like you. In American society, the game is to be a nonthreatening black person. That’s why you have Pharrell or Kendrick Lamar saying, ‘How can we expect people to respect us if we don’t respect ourselves?’ He’s playing that nonthreatening black man shit, and that gets all the white soccer moms going, ‘We love him.’ Even Kanye West plays a little bit of that game—’Please accept me, white world.’ “Jay Z hasn’t played any of those games, and that’s what I like.”

UPDATE #2: An NSFW image from Azealia Banks’ Playboy photoshoot has been released by the rapper via Twitter.
It is as follows:
this bitch aint gonna break the internet, LOL. playboy is really scraping the bottom of the barrel these days huh?
Who else deserves her cover if not her? A black woman on the cover of Playboy what what! thats hot as fuck, i aint mad at her
who else deserves it more? i dunno probably 1000000 other chicks that are way hotter. i thought this bitch would be against taking off her clothes so the white man can get rich.
It’s NOT okay for the white fat cats in the music industry to make money off of Hip Hop culture with white artist. It IS okay for a white-owned pornographic establishment and stable to advertise and sell magazines of your black body. #AzealiaLogic

Iggy would have looked way better but she’s far too classy to do something like this.

No one is checking for that A.B. music, and no one is checking for pics of her nude.
She’s running out of tricks to draw people to her music.

Banks is fine, drop some music tho!
this bitch can say she hates fat white americans but if a white person said they hate poor fat black people she would throw a fit
