Models Pissed With Beyonce’s Sports Illustrated Cover
Beyonce’s latest resume addition as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition covergirl has allegedly bunched the thongs of many members of the modeling community.
A number of models are privately upset that Beyonce, a singer-”actress,” was selected as this year’s coveated covergirl.
A New York modeling agency is snitching on just how heated many models are about the mag’s selection of an industry outsider for the year’s most sought after cover:
“The cover spot is supposed to go to the top model in the industry. This year it went Beyonce. It’s an insult … There isn’t a model alive that doesn’t find [Sports Illustrated's] choice offensive.”
Sports Illustrated readers are also rumored to be pissed with the new issue, taking particular issue with the number of Black artists featured in the magazine. The swimsuit issue also covers Kanye West and Cee-Lo from Gnarls Barkley, is being referred to on sports message boards as the “Ghetto Issue.”
What year is it again?
The racist readers are taking their gripes to SI headquarters:
“The calls are nonstop … Some of these guys have been subscribing to Sports Illustrated for years just so they can get the Swimsuit Issue before it hits the stands. This is like blasphemy to most of them who don’t know who Beyonce or Kanye are,” a mag employee dishes.

Tell ya what….Beyonce is the best thing to ever grace the cover of SI.
Where is it chiseled in stone that the covergirl has to be an anorexic model. This woman looks like a real woman, and the girl next door combined.
All you jealous haters get this, nobody wants to hear your whining, she got the cover you didnt so deal with it.
Oh and by the way to the “this is the ghetto issue” crowd. Im white and have no issue with this what the hell is your problem.

I feel this is hateration to the fifth degree, I agree with Keith…. Beyonce is a real woman, with real curves. I agree that you haters should get over it, some models think they can sing, some can some can’t…. Leave Beyonce alone and let her shine her light. I guess this means that you just have to tighten up on your modeling skills….If you got it, you’ve got it…GET OVER IT….. Jan
