Landing the cover was a dream come true for the Houston hottie. “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,” Megan told PEOPLE. “It feels amazing!”

In addition to Megan, the 2021 SI Swim issue features two alternate covers starring tennis champ Naomi Osaka and model and actress Leyna Bloom, who makes history as the first transgender cover star. Tinashe also models her bikini for the inside of the magazine.
