“We are super excited to have Boity grace our May/June issue. Boity is a hard worker and businesswoman who inspires both young and old," said Glamour editor-in-chief Nontando Mposo.

On choosing the fun, playful cover, Mposo added: “The cover and styling is vibrant, colourful and youthful and the image portrays her on top of her throne." 

The May/June issue is also the magazine's youth issue and they wanted to explore the theme through fashion, commented art director Jason Basson.

The team behind her Glamour look opted to go for fun, over-the-top prints, and the result is a cover expressive of the rapper's personality.

"This is her first Glamour cover as she arrives at her thirties. We are honoured to be part of her milestone," concluded Mposo.
