Megan Thee Stallion, born Megan Pete, made her SI Swimsuit debut as a cover model in 2021. She totally nailed her feature with the magazine, and served major neon looks filled with fun cut-outs and racy silhouettes while on location in Hollywood, Fla., with photographer James Macari.

The three-time Grammy Award winner and six-time nominee is a musical powerhouse and trailblazer for female rappers and artists. She’s also passionate about giving back to her community and speaking up about mental health.

“I get to be the first rapper on the cover. When I think of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, I just think of icons. I was the little girl looking at the cover saying, ‘One day this is going to be me.’ And I manifested it. I wanted to do it, and now we’re here,” the Texas native shared. “Sometimes I feel like I do not take enough time to actually let things sink in. I’m never comfortable, I don’t ever want to get comfortable, so I’m always trying to figure out ways to outdo myself, outwork myself—make sure I’m better than the Megan I was last year. I don’t know, maybe I’ll speak something else into existence tomorrow and that’ll be my new goal. But now we’ve knocked Sports Illustrated off that list.”

The 28-year-old is also a repeat BET Award winner, including consecutive Best Female Hip-Hop Artist honors. The “Hot Girl Summer” singer served just that during her feature with the magazine. Below are six of our favorite pics from the iconic cover photoshoot in Florida in 2021.
