The three-time Grammy-winning rapper landed the coveted cover of the 2021 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.

“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, 26, tells PEOPLE exclusively. “It feels amazing!”

“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,” Megan says. “The day was perfect and I had a blast.”

Megan said working with the whole team at SI Swim was “one of the best experiences in my life”

“I think they are on the forefront when it comes to diversity and inclusion because they do not fear change, they lean into it,” Megan says. “They see the world and have it reflect on the cover and pages inside. That is why they have been so successful.”
