Rihanna opened up in the magazine about her “thicc” figure and how she embraces her more voluptuous look.

She told the esteemed magazine how she hopes her new shapely figure will stay when she returns to the gym, saying “I’m about to get back into the gym and stuff, and I hope I don’t lose my butt or my hips or all of my thighs. I’ll lose some but not all.

“And I think of my boobs, like, ‘Imma lose everything, everything goes!’ But, you know, it comes with a price.”

“You want to have a butt, then you have a gut.”
