"My face does not look like this, my body does not look like that, and I feel very happy and comfortable with how I look naturally," she writes in the caption of her posts, which contains a bear-faced selfie and the edited cover photo.
"Despite making my discontent clear with the number of editions they did with the photo, they didn't do anything about it, as if to look good, I needed all those changes," she continued in the post's caption.
While the "Provenza" singer adds that she was happy when told she would be the publication's cover star, she admits the experience left her feeling disrespected, as she stressed that the cover does not correctly represent who she is.

"I understand the repercussions this can have, but beyond feeling it's disrespectful to me, it's disrespectful to women who wake up looking to feel comfortable with themselves despite society's stereotypes," she wrote near the end of the post.
Before embarking on her 2021 Bichota Tour, the singer spoke to PEOPLE about reclaiming her space as a female reggaeton artist and representing her community.
"As a Latina, I think all the Latinos, we just have something inside that makes us really hard workers," she said. "We look [for] the opportunity in places that there's no opportunity."
