Like most magazines, Playboy has also decided to go digital.
And for its first digital cover, the risque magazine is going against its norm – by featuring a man!
Bad Bunny, the singer and rapper from Puetro Rico, graces the cover by himself, making the 26-year-old the only man, besides magazine founder – the late Hugh Hefner – to appear solo on the cover.
The cover, shot in Miami, Florida in the United States by celebrity photog Stillz, features a close-up of the artiste with painted nails and the iconic Playboy bunny logo on his lips.
Unlike most of his machismo counterparts, Bad Bunny (real name: Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio) is known for his flamboyant style and being a queer and female ally.
"The music industry and society in general (treat women) like they're nothing. Women are human beings and deserve respect and the same treatment as anybody else," he said in the cover story.
Earlier this year, he appeared alongside Shakira at the Superbowl halftime show where they sang Cardi B's I Like It.
In March, the 66-year-old Playboy magazine, announced it would halt all print edition for the rest of the year due to the disruptions caused by Covid-19.
