The superstar, who is known for her amazing body, followed her Check on it song’s motto- ‘got it flaunt it’, and posed for the racy cover with her modesty only covered by glitter.
The pictures were originally taken by renowned photographer Tony Duran in 2011, and are now gracing the cover of Flaunt magazine.
Speaking in the accompanying interview to the tribal-themed photo-shoot, the 31-year-old shared her flattery at being a gay icon.
I'm flattered if I'm in the company of those great women. I think they love that we are bold, unafraid to love, and flaunt our sexuality and strength,' she explained.
The mother-of-one stuck by her quest for privacy around her personal life, adding:
'I have chosen to keep certain aspects of my life private. But I also love sharing what makes me happy, especially through photography.'
But superstardom has not gone to the talented singer’s head, who cited her modest demands for a picnic.
'A cozy blanket, red wine, fruit, '90s R&B playing on my iPod. I don't think you need much else.'
Defending her fans against suggestions that they are growing up in a self-obsessed, socially inapt ‘cyber’ world, they loyal star said:
'At my concerts I see the opposite. They are engaged in making a difference.
'That's something I want to celebrate. For Chime for Change we raised awareness and over $4 million in one day for equal rights for girls everywhere.
'So many people at that concert were young. They are more socially responsible than they get credit for.'
