“Grace Jones and Naomi Campbell both did Playboy Covers so you know I was like Hell Yeaaaaaa!!!!!” she wrote on Twitter.

While Azealia's music has won her plenty of fans, the star’s controversial comments and spats with other recording artists have landed her in hot water.

Most recently, Azealia was heavily criticised by fans on Twitter, when she attempted to defend her use of the word “faggot” by saying, “I do it in a feminist way.”

In the past, she’s taken to Twitter after disagreeing with everyone from Perez Hilton to Eminem.

During an interview with HuffPost, Azealia explained a series of tweets she sent to Eminem, stating: ““I think people take things too seriously and that’s why I deleted it. I was just like ‘whatever’.

“I think social media is damaging for everyone, but you know… I like to laugh, I like to have a good time, I like to joke, I like to shock and be shocked."

Azealia isn't the first celeb to pose for the mag. How many previous celebrity cover stars can you remember? Check out the video above...
