Summer Walker Recreates Anna Nicole Smith’s Wedding Photo For ‘Finally Over It’ Album Cover

Summer Walker has taken inspiration from late cultural icon Anna Nicole Smith for the cover art for her forthcoming studio album Finally Over It, recreating the infamous photograph of Smith at her wedding ceremony with J. Howard Marshall. Walker unveiled the album’s cover art via social media announcing that the project will be released on Friday, Nov. 14. The cover is a coy reference to the R&B star’s disenchantment with traditional romantic relationships and prioritization of financial and material gain in her dealings with men, an accusation levied upon Anna Nicole Smith regarding her own love life. In June 1994, Smith, who was 26-years-old at the time, married Marshall, an 89 year-old millionaire and former government official, in a wedding held at the White Dove Chapel in Houston, TX. Marshall, a stakeholder in notably Koch Industries with an estimated net worth of $550 million, would pass away of pneumonia in August 1995, with Smith eventually losing a lengthy legal battle with Marshall’s family and estate regarding his fortune. Walker, whose tumultuous relationships have been addressed in her music and bled over into tabloid fodder, has been vocal about her newfound attitude towards men, an admission the 29-year-old recently made in a clip that went viral on social media. “Men are providers, and that’s it,” the hitmaker told journalist Speedy Morman during an interview. “I’m not attracted to them.” When asked whether that meant “bleeding them dry,” she chuckled while confirming, “Yes. As soon as I get everything, you’re off.
