Young Thug Takes Clothes Off For 'Carter 6' Cover

Young Thug Photographer Reveals She Was Undressed For Album Cover Shoot

Once again Young Thug is stirring up controversy. This time with the album cover art for his upcoming “The Carter VI” album. As you can see, the placement of the title is very ummmmm interesting. Wonder what Weezy thinks about that?

Complex interviewed Sandy Kim, the photographer responsible for the art, check out their interview below:

Tell me how you and Thug came to work together. Was the concept for the cover his, or yours?

Young Thug had an idea for the concept and he also wanted someone young and new to shoot his cover. His team reached out to me and I said of course. I’m a huge fan of his music and he’s definitely pushing boundaries in rap musically and aesthetically. I wouldn’t have done it if our visions didn’t line up and he wasn’t down for the type of asthetic I normally bring to my work. When I got to the set he and his team had ideas, I brought some of my own ideas to the table. I asked him if he would be down to get naked and he was like “F**k no, I’m not getting naked, you get naked!” Artists should totally be down to commit to the vision they’re asking for, so I got naked and then we shot it. The experience was great, his team was shooting dice on set.

So to confirm: he is nude on the cover?

Yeah, mostly.

What about people reading phallic imagery into the way the Carter 6 lettering is stylized?

[I] wasn’t involved that much on the graphics side but they did send everything to me to sign off on. I think you are meant to [infer] phallic imagery, definitely. A lot of the concept was from Thug. If he didn’t have something like this in mind I don’t think they would’ve reached out to me. There are more images to come, but you’ll just have to wait until it drops.

What do you thin about the “crotchyliciousness” of Thug’s cover? Should Lil Wayne be further offended?
