Iggy has topped Maxim‘s 2014 Hot 100, but she’s not overly impressed about the photo the magazine used on the cover. It’s not because she doesn’t look hot because by god she does. It’s because the image is from a shoot with Complex magazine three years ago.
It’s not the first time it’s happened, either, so naturally she’s going to be a little pissed off. Apparently this Cosmopolitan Australia August 2014 cover was also out of her hands.
She did the standard thing and took to Twitter to attack the Australian division of her record label for allowing both Maxim and Cosmopolitan to buy images of her. The “Fancy” rapper ranted for quite a while, which went a little something like this (you might want to set aside some time for this lengthy read):
Im going to publicly say something to the australian division of my record label right now because my message seems to be ignored privately.

stop giving permission on my behalf for magazines to purchase images of me that have already been printed in major publications for covers.

australian label, i love you guys but you allowed my image to be sold to cosmo Aus when i told you i would prefer for that not to happen.

and now this morning i see you’ve allowed maxim australia to buy an image from a 2011 complex mag shoot and put it on the cover.

i think its awesome anyone would want me on the cover of a magazine, but theres a right way to make that happen and the australian label

clearly aren’t respecting my wishes. a magazine cover deserves an accompanying photoshoot not a reused image.

maxim australia, thanks for the love and I’m sorry no one asked me. i would have love to have given an interview & done a shoot with u guys

Even though the skimpy gold one-piece and cut-out Alon Livné bodysuit look ah-mazing on I-G-G-Y, she had no control over what was published to a worldwide audience and she missed out on a Maxim shoot. It’s not every day you get crowned the hottest woman in the country by a major men’s mag, so, yeah, we’d be pretty peeved, too.
