If you told AOC that Britain’s biggest rapper Central Cee and top model Mona Tougaard can’t stand to be in the same room with each other, let alone cover the July-August 2024 issue of British Vogue [IG], we would believe you.

Anything else we might say about this fashion shoot would be a projection, and that’s not how we roll on AOC. Dropping down you will see an extensive biking video made by the rapper with Vogue, one that gives us a glimpse into his well-spoken, considerable-depth personality.

LOL, I add that the superstar looked a whole lot happier in his Tommy gig, also shot with a female model. So the vibe must be the need for everyone to straighten up and look royal for British Vogue.

The July 2024 issue of British Vogue is a fashion-meets-music special, with a cover story and portfolio starring the most dazzling young British musicians shaping today’s culture. Central Cee rides the crest of that wave.

What does self-care look like for Central Cee? In the latest installment of Vogue’s Well, Well, Well… series, British Vogue’s July 2024 cover star rides an electric dirt bike through the English countryside, home to what he considers the most beautiful nature on earth.

“I used to just be on bike all day long back in the day,” Cench tells British Vogue. “I had nothing else to do, really.” Now, biking is a source of nostalgia for the in-demand star, with Central Cee known to “rip it up and down the garden” for “therapeutic” purposes during stressful moments.
