\n\tSaweetie<\/a> saluted Grace Jones<\/a> on the icon\u2019s 76th birthday Sunday (May 19), and thanked her for inspiring the cover art of the rapper\u2019s newest single \u201cNANi.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHappy birthday to THE ICON, Grace Jones,\u201d she wrote on X<\/a>. \u201cthank you for the massive print you\u2019ve made in fashion, culture & cuntiness. The inspiration behind the NANi cover.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tThe pose Saweetie is striking on the \u201cNANi\u201d single artwork<\/a> is directly inspired by the artwork for Jones\u2019 1985 greatest hits album Island Life<\/em>, which features the almost-nude singer stretching her right arm forward, with a microphone in hand, and stretching her left arm backward, touching her right foot that\u2019s extended upward while her left leg stands strong. But the impossible arabesque pose, captured by Jean-Paul Goude, is actually a montage of images of Jones striking different poses that were cut and pasted together. It also made Billboard<\/em>\u2018s 100 Best Album Covers of All Time<\/a> list at No. 27 last year. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cIcy Girl\u201d MC recreated the image for her \u201cNANi\u201d cover, but instead of holding a mic, she\u2019s holding a lime-green hair dryer that\u2019s blowing her bubblegum pink locks away. \u201cwe gon\u2019 fkkk up the Summer,\u201d she wrote last week while officially announcing \u201cNANi.\u201d <\/p>\n
