Azealia Banks poses nude for Playboy magazine

Rapper Azealia Banks has posed nude for Playboy.

The 23-year-old rapper will feature in the April 2015 edition of the magazine, and described it as a "frisky pictorial that's sure to break the internet".

"Now I can finally tell you, I'll be on the COVER of @Playboy's April Music Issue!! #LeChatNoir (sic)," she posted on Twitter.

The '212' star added that Grace Jones and Naomi Campbell's past Playboy covers encouraged her to do the shoot.

"You guys should all know that the inspiration for my @Playboy shoot and my life is CATTY NOIR from monster high," she added.

Banks recently released her debut album Broke with Expensive Taste after an extensive delay.
